I won't pretend to know enough about rights/licencing to know whether this could make an international release more or less likely, but a bit of extra information in case it's useful to somebody...
In Australia, Fortress was distributed theatrically by UIP then on video by CBS/Fox in the '80s, and around 2016/17 a new 2K restoration screened theatrically in a double-feature with
Road Games.
Again, that may not mean anything and I have no idea whether that may indicate if an Australian release could be more likely than a US one from a rights perspective, but thought I'd share the information just for extra context. A key takeaway though is that a 2K restoration does exist, and has screened theatrically (in a double-feature no less, where rights usually dictate what can be paired together).
