Well its either one or the other. It could be their film forever or their rights to it will expire, with most people hoping that's the case. From what I gathered some titles are long terms deals lasting like 10 years, if they expire and LG doesnt renew the rights, the movies can become "free agents"but they need to get picked up or the producer(s) will get them and they will want $$$ for their titles (Legend of the Werewolf, The Ghoul,Dawn of the Dead, Martin)
An example of rights changing hands were the Arkoff titles that LG had, lost and wound up in the hands of Shout Factory , so far for MST3K treatment
