I saw it at my local Cineworld and you’re right, there’s like three or four screenings a day, which is a lot less than many other “big” releases. Though it is what would usually be considered art house, the films heading towards a haul of $100m in the US, so you’d think there’d be a bigger splash in the UK – the screening I attended yesterday was at 3:15 and was sold out! Completely out of the ordinary, even on a Sunday, at my local.
I guess it boils down to the time of year – there are stacks of films out: all the awards-consideration types of films and big budgeters like Green Hornet too. Just not enough screens. I still can’t believe, with all the hype it’s had, that BLUE VALENTINE’s not paying in my local cinema – Optimum only saw fit to put it on 36 screens nationwide! None of my local cinemas are showing the new Carpenter flick, THE WARD, either.
