Rupert is redeeemed! NEON just confirmed 2500 theaters for Longlegs (it's been doing a bunch of previews in NYC) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 09, 12:13

I guess Variety got it confirmed before NEON Emailed me... all good. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 09, 12:17

You'd think a movie with this much discussion would have an .ow {nm} Abraxas Jul 09, 12:20

To be fair, the talk of it going wide really only emerged in the last week or so and the OW normally would have IPOed weeks ago {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 09, 12:21

its always been an HSX wide release {nm} Moviesnob Jul 09, 12:44

Nope. Don't have screenshot but it was listed as "limited" on HSX as recently as last week. TheWeekendWarrior Jul 09, 12:52

well i guess the numbers isnt a reliable source again! {nm} Moviesnob Jul 09, 13:27

Nah, it's not their fault. I asked someone involved with the film yesterday if the movie was going wide and they couldn't answer Y or N TheWeekendWarrior Jul 09, 14:05

NEON knew, they just didn't tell you (or the numbers) {nm} Moviesnob Jul 09, 14:09

Right, exactly, but they didn't tell BOM either. And we'll see if BOP even acknwoleges the movie's existence in tomorrow's column. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 09, 14:12

They literally JUST responded and told me the 2,500 theaters, and these are people working directly with NEON. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 09, 14:18

The theatre counts are coming from inside the house! {nm} notfabio Jul 09, 14:21

lol Moviesnob Jul 09, 14:37

I find it hard to believe anyone who's actually involved with the movie wasn't aware that it was always planned as a wide release RupertPupkin Jul 09, 14:49

Maybe people at NEON knew but they didn't bother to tell their marketing partners including my contacts. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 09, 22:52

.OW is based on WIde theater counts, not amount of discussion. Antibody Jul 09, 14:39

But we should keep discussing... just in case, right? :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 09, 22:52
