This is the way it works. The Tribe was set to go straight to DVD straight from the get go so it has nothing to do with the quality of the film itself. My theory at this point, after watching the movie today, is the third movie has been setup. Basically the third one will be what the second one shoulda been (now try to follow me here). The reason why I say this is because Warner Bros. wants to establish a larger following and by basically by remaking the first one (I'm sorry but at the end of the day thats what they did) so now The Tribe will grab a younger audience's attention. This movie was worth watching just to see Haim and Feldman on screen again together, and when Warner Bros. realizes this then they'll realize that the original audience will sh*t when the trailer's for the 3rd one has Haim, Feldman and Newlander in it as Vampires! So basically now it all depends on Warner Bros. definition of success for their straight to DVD close to none promoting film, which can't be much. If they think a younger audience will wanna see it because of LB2: The Tribe and the original audience will wanna see it because of Feldman, Haim and Newlander then to them that will equal success. Plus they'll probably release it to the theaters. Lost Boys 2: The Tribe was all in all a way to test the audiences reaction, and depending on that there's a very good chance it could happen. But maybe I'm giving Warner Bros. way too much credit, afterall they are the whole reason why Goonies 2 has been held up for so long (and yeah I think maybe The Tribe was a small test for that too... for christ sakes the Aunt in The Tribe held up the DVD. I mean come on! It's kinda like saying "Hey younger dumbasses, if you haven't seen one of the best movie's ever go watch it so that when or if we spend money to make a second one you'll wanna go see it!"). Oh and it also depends on if Haim completely f*cked up his relationship with Warner Bros. If you don't know what I mean then watch that episode of The Two Coreys when he all but ended his career on the Lost Boys 2 set.
