I'm gonna try to sneak in a screening this week anyway, i know you didn't think much of it, but that book......

I guess when I think of the book, it's the story of a woman's grief, and her decision to work with this hawk. And it's almost all coming from her internalizing. Obviously tough to make cinematic.

I really like Claire Foy as well; i was excited to hear that she was playing the lead in this. But even if it seems pretty ineffectual, I still wanna give it a sit. I might have time to go a couple times during the week this week, and if i do I'll probably make time for this to be one of them.

Another indie with zero buzz that should have platformed. {nm} The Weekend Warrior Jan 25, 09:38

The book was so powerful; one of my favorites. I'd still like to see this, despite the reviews and results. {nm} goodvibe61 Jan 25, 10:10

Speaking of powerful books, I saw the opera based on Kavalier and Clay yesterday... it's playing again in theaters on Weds... great stuff! {nm} The Weekend Warrior Jan 25, 10:22

I hadn't heard of this. And yeah, I love that book too LOL. It's a classic. {nm} goodvibe61 Jan 25, 13:38

its pretty hard to platform up a movie at 75% RT critics score {nm} Moviesnob Jan 25, 10:42

So just platform it to fulfill contractual obligatoins then dump it to VOD. {nm} The Weekend Warrior Jan 25, 13:07

How does that work? You grow your theater count based on performance. You only have guaranteed week 2+ bookings if you have something like Moviesnob Jan 25, 13:18

So are we gonna take a wild guess how many of its 400 or so theaters it loses this coming Friday? I'll say 200+. {nm} The Weekend Warrior Jan 25, 14:03

why not all of them? they got what they needed to trigger a threshold for hulu {nm} Moviesnob Jan 25, 14:08

I had no idea that so many distributors were "tricking the system" in this way. I guess theaters need content. {nm} The Weekend Warrior Jan 25, 15:09
