According to Toon Zone, in a recent discussion with Wendy Shimamura, VIZ’s associate product marketing manager for home entertainment at the VIZ booth on Sunday. 2007 will bring both a Naruto OVA and a Naruto theatrical movie. The movie will get a one-night theatrical run in about 100-200 screens nationwide, with dates to be announced soon at the official VIZ Naruto website, with a target date some time in June. The first trailer was aired at the VIZ Media Anime panel, but the trailer will be available for viewing soon on the Internet as well.
The Naruto OVA (being called “The Lost Story”) will be in stores on May 22, and will also include an extended exclusive trailer for the Naruto theatrical movie as well as the other trailers for the movie. Details for an airing on Cartoon Network were still being worked out; The rough time frame for the Cartoon Network broadcast will be some time close to the release of the DVD. The expected price for the 40-minute movie will be $12.98, and the first 50,000 DVDs will come with special Bandai cards. [NOTE: This will be the 2nd Naruto OVA -- it's still unclear what will happen with the first one, as well as the movie OVA. For more information on the OVA release see our previous news post about it here on Naruto2.com]
In response to a question about sales of the regular Naruto DVDs vs. the uncut boxed sets, Shimamura said that sales of both have been strong as Naruto continues to attract more fans. The first standard edition DVD continues to be one of the top-ranked sellers for VIZ, and that it seems to serve as an effective gateway product for new fans who discover the show on Cartoon Network. According to Shimamura, the uncut boxed set sales have “as strong as Naruto 1 episodic” DVD releases. The uncut boxed sets will continue, and VIZ is looking for more exclusives for the limited edition boxed set releases. The limited editions will be restricted to 15,000 copies, and VIZ is looking to work with their licensees to come up with newer exclusive merchandise to be packed in with the releases.

It's the first one, dude. =/

Anyway, it's about damned time. They should hurry the hell up so Ultimate Ninja 2 can be released already.
On a random sidenote, WTF's up with the Naruto movie only showing in 100-200 theaters? Why can't it simply be shown in all theaters like a regular movie? It's long enough and popular enough, and hell, Pokemon had like six movies shown in theaters.

It's a shame that the first Naruto movie is the only decent one.
