This from Fangoria.com:
"Finally, we also heard that Anchor Bay Entertainment will follow up its DVD editions of PHANTASM and PHANTASM III by giving PHANTASM IV: OBLIVION its disc debut August 26. The Bay also has the Starz! vampire-film documentary BLOODSUCKING CINEMA slated for September 23. Look for details on these at this site soon as well. —Michael Gingold"
Now, if this gets a release, I'm confident that will get Phantasm II this October. This is just a theory.
Phantasm: OblIVion SE Comin' This August!

"Anchor Bay's PHANTASM OBLIVION doesn't street until August 26th, but we've got a quick first look until we're allowed to post the full review. Here's the short of it: compared to the Anchor Bay UK release, this new transfer beats it in terms of sharpness, framing and color timing. There's still the Dolby Digital 5.1 mix from the UK disc, but the DTS is missing, and most surprising of all, so too is the original stereo mix. In terms of extras, there's the same commentary from the previous release with Reggie, Don and Angus, as well as a 9-minute behind-the-scenes taken from the Phantasmagoria documentary, a trailer and an extended promo reel. The big plus here is the vastly improved picture, but the dropped audio and lack of new extras may turn off those content with the previous R2 release."

It's so cute how Anchor Bay put so much into re-releasing the UK Editions of some Phantasm films... Perhaps they should have invested in a far more expansive 2-disc edition of the first movie, so that for once fans like me could get all the dang features from all-region discs released so far (Anchor Bay ignored a criminal amount of those from MGM's DVD, the AB-Collection version is just not as great without them) while they're waiting for Universal to do something with part II...
