Normally, I would think that and potentiality it's still true, but I know they have had a very hard time getting the funding for this movie. They have been shopping around for quite some time trying to get the funding.

Keep in mind the original wasn't a some box office hit , it was more of a cult classic and it stands to reason a squeal would be the same.

The original cost 3 million to produce and sold 18 million domestically. Yes it was a profit maker, but it certainly wasn't a block buster. (Keep in mind 18 million was gross ticket sales not profit and of course doesn't include DVD/PPV sales )
