Likely, since Isekai Quartet exists largely as a commercial for the franchises it includes to bring public awareness/interest levels back up for current non-readers, and this movie seems to in turn be an attempt to test the waters before committing to a full series.

If neither one really affects franchise sales, they might still decide not to, but since they are confident enough to almost double-dip, and the movie is an actual adaptation of canon material rather than crappy filler, that would be a pretty bad sign for the future of the entire franchise. You rarely see this much enthusiasm for animating from publishers, after all.
