I don't, and believe they want as much exposure as possible to guarantee bums on seats and as many watching the film in cinemas as possible.
In terms of counter-programming, smaller movies rely on word-of-mouth, adverts in magazines, on radio, and TV, using a relatively small budget to reach the target audience (those not interested in whatever blockbuster is going to dominate the cinemas at the time) with minimal financial outlay. | You be surprised how many people i know that dont watch many films outside the Hollywood/ Blockbuster zone and think they be rubbish because its not a success if it hardly gets much publicity. And can barely name a film if it isnt.
