The 'negotiated' reuse the AFM has given the labels to make LE CDs so far is extended from the early movie years thru the 80s. Since 'Flatliners' was a 1990 release, it might take a couple more years until it is considered a historical recording.
This doesn't really seem to be the case as several AFM-recorded scores have been released recently: BREAKDOWN, SPEED 2: CRUISE CONTROL, FIRST KNIGHT. All of which are, you guessed it, are from the 1990s.
You have a point. Can't answer specifically for why these and not others. My guess is for 'Breakdown' and 'Speed 2', the scores could have either had smaller orchestras (players) and thus a re-use was more negotiable (since the # of players helps determine the overall fee), or new 'big wigs' at the studios were will willing to help shepherd them through.
As far as First Knight, that might be the result of a situation similar to the Poltergeist II (Intrada originally paid full AFM fee for the first 30 minute album, then AFM adjusted it's fee to 50% so Intrada later issued it's 53 min CD re-issue). 'First Knight's first CD was 40 min (1995), and maybe released at that length for label preference. Later, the good boys at La-La Land decided to negotiated the license rights from Epic records (or whatever studio) to re-issue the album and weren't liable for more AFM fees.
This is just guessing and hypothesis. I really have no 'insider info', I prefer to watch football instead

I remember in the early days of FSM the newsletter/magazine this was always on readers' lists of scores most wanted on CD (because the movie was recent), then it sorted of faded away, because there was never a sequel or remake or anything.
