I think the only way a chucky movie will be released in cinemas again is if it's a remake. I don't mind them being released straight to dvd if it means the original storyline continues.

seed of chucky was so bad it's nearly killed the franchise but curse of chucky did very well sold a lot of dvd's had a great word of mouth and i'm sure the fans would go see part 7 in a theater if it was possible.

AND LIKE U SAID.....WE DON'T WANT BEEP REMAKES WE WANT CONTINUED SEQUELS OR EVEN PREQUELS BUT BNOT REMAKES.

I would love see chucky killing as a human before he was turned to a killer doll.

I've never ever understood people's anger at these kinds of films not getting cinema releases. The point is, when a film gets a cinema release it means that the studio execs stick their noses into the production and that's when the overall quality suffers. Leave it to the hardcore fans (Mancini himself) to deliver on what he knows the fans now want.

Cinema or straight to DVD - it doesn't matter. Personally, I'd rather them continue straight to DVD because at least then they have to focus on characters and storytelling because of the low budget, not OTT CGI.

Straight to dvd is better than nothing and a theatrical release is better than dvd. that's the way it goes. i'm a chucky fan and I wish all his movies to be in theaters before I buy them on dvd.
yeah the costs would be higher for a theater release but also the gross would be much higher as i'm sure the movie would gross at least 50 millions domestic if it was in theaters.
they just didn't want the risk. that's all.

I suspect it worries them into thinking the films will be lacking a good script, special effects, and good actors. Look what happened to the HELLRAISER franchise.

Either that or it's a sense of wounded pride that a film series they love suddenly isn't considered "good enough" for theaters anymore. As if it's lost its appeal to the general audience.

I agree for the most part. As long as it's good. And Don Mancini is returning, so it's not like this will be some hack job by a 20-year-old director who's probably never seen the previous films.

After the disappointment of TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D, a film written by people I suspect never saw the original, I'd be fine if the upcoming prequel "LEATHERFACE" had a direct-to-video release. TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D certainly didn't deserve a theatrical run.

I'm not mad about it being a DTV release. Sure, it would've been nice to finally see a Chucky film in theaters, I never got to see Bride or Seed in theaters and I was way too young to see the first three in theaters; I was only about only 6 months old, when the original came out in theaters, back in '88. I was only 2, when the second one came out, and I was only 3, when the 3rd one came out. I was 10 years old when 4th one was released. I remember my mother or my friend's mother mentioning Bride of Chucky and I was like "Cool, they made a 4th one" and when I saw it, I was pleased. It was a breath of fresh air from the first two sequels. I actually excepted Child's Play 4 to more like the first two sequels where Chucky would yet again go after another kid, maybe at an orphanage (that would've been too much of a rehash of the 2nd film) but I liked the "girlfriend becomes a doll, like him" storyline where they get married and go a "Bonnie and Clyde" type murder spree. Unfortunately, Seed wasn't that great! As a standalone film, it's alright; but as Chucky film, it fails. In fact, that film almost killed the franchise for good. I remember back in 2008, Mancini wanted to reboot the series. Had that happened, we would've never found out what happened to Andy after the 3rd film or his mother. I was so relieved when I heard that Curse was going to be a continuation and a return to its horror roots from the first three films, instead of the dark comedy route, it took in the last two films. I saw and it almost cried in tears when I saw Andy for the first time since the 3rd film! I hope in this one, he has a son or daughter and maybe a girlfriend or wife (Not DeSilva, maybe Kyle from the 2nd film, she was better than DeSilva from the 3rd one because she had more chemistry with Andy than DeSilva) I hope we also get a backstory to Chucky's childhood from the 60s and his later life in the 70s and 80s, before he meet Sarah and became a doll, like they did with Freddy Krueger in the 6th Elm Street film.

Reason/Reasons why Curse and Cult of Chucky are better off being direct to video than being theatrically released in theaters

-Curse of Chucky has that old fashioned scary vibe like the first Child's Play. Its better this way
-if done like any other movie in Hollywood, Curse and Cult would just end up being butchered and end up dumb and awful like Bride and Seed of Chucky
