Theatrical distribution?

Has anyone seen this on a theater, particularly before the VHS edition of December 1995?

I only saw the movie days ago, and went through the end credits, where there is a logo, typical of mid-1990s movies, saying this:

"Spectral Recording Dolby Stereo Digital / Verify theater format"

So, I conclude that it was released to theaters, or at least the producers had such intention, before deciding not to risk it, and going to a VHS release early in December, in time for family buying for the Christmas' tree.
