DTV's (in general) the beginning of the end?

This arrived in my regular Tremors newsletter. I've put the appropriate text in bold myself.

Second on the list of most popular questions revolves around when Tremors 5 will go into production. There is a script but as of now there is no funding. As you may know, some of the big video store chains have stopped stocking direct-to-video titles (like Tremors films). Unfortunately, this practice somewhat negates the reason to make direct to video titles at all. That is the way Universal Home Entertainment looks at it anyway and it makes financial sense. When they put up millions of dollars to make a film, they want to know there is an outlet for it. It never hurts to let Universal know you care about Tremors film so you might wan to give them some positive feedback if you have not sent them any lately.

Now obviously, with the numbers the Disney DTVs are doing, any store would be wacko to drop them, but it seems the tide may be turning against DTVs at this time.

A shame, as I would love to see Tremors 5. Yes, it would be cheap, and just the cheapness would show (like it does on the other Tremors DTVs) but they're fun movies and most important of all, they entertain me.

Well, as you would expect from DTV's they're Tremors, but with less ambition. And some new monsters - some which work and some which don't. But (in my opinion) they're all entertaining, and you can't really ask for more.

Tremors 4 is fun - its a prequel set in the old Wild West - in a town called Rejection (before it was renamed Perfection).
