"What about Hasbro releasing the movies in select theaters instead of either releasing them in all theaters or straight to DVD?"


 * I already explained this to you once before: high distribution costs. The more theaters a studio wants to show their film in, the more money it costs to distribute.

"The reason they even made Equestria Girls was to get money to compete with their rivals"


 * The toys? Yes. The film? No. The film was never intended to compete with other films in the box office -- it was intended to market the dolls.
