I'm pretty sure Lionsgate has RotLDIII in perpetuity.

Yuzna's 2000 - 2005 films were produced for Filmax International under a label he co-created with Julio Fernández Rodríguez, Fantastic Factory. I think US distribution for all of the Fantastic Factory films was handled by Lionsgate. It's unclear to me whether Lionsgate has perpetuity rights to those films in the United States or whether the films themselves are technically Filmax property or Yuzna property.
