Are they testing the waters with this, hoping they can re-release more in the future? Like record distributors that exclusively re-release cheap old music to make a dollar.

“How much money can we make by just re-releasing crap people kinda liked?”

Wedding Crashers is a cheap one that wouldn’t be overwhelmingly embarrassing if the experiment failed.

There absolutely are movies I would go to see in theaters again.

Wedding crashers isn't even on the list.

Wedding crashers isn't even on the list of movies I would watch this month if I had no internet access and only 3 other dvds.

It's one of those movies that you never need to see again. You either saw it in theaters once, or rented it from Blockbuster or Hollywood video. Maybe you had that one friend that got it for $5 at a second hand store that wishes they grabbed The Matrix instead.

No kidding. I didn’t see Wedding Crashers in the theater when it was first released. No way in hell I would do it now.
