To be fair, it’s not like they’re doing it out of malicious intent, as Crimson Peak did cost the studio some money that it never made back during the theatrical run.
But if there was any hope of clawing back some of that money, besides Pacific Rim: Uprising, it sure as hell would have been with Hellboy and company.
So if any party spoken to wasn’t interested enough to cancel the whole smash, it certainly has to be Universal Pictures, who are presumably the current rights holders.
As we’ve seen time and time again on Guillermo del Toro’s Twitter, he and Ron Perlman have both been vocal components for trying to revive the series that last gave us Hellboy 2: The Golden Army back in 2008.
