Author Topic: THE ARTIST RELEASE PATTERN Paul Brown Film Handler Posts: 12 From: Charleston SC, USA Registered: Feb 2011 posted 12-20-2011 02:41 PM                     why is TWC not releasing the Artist (like Kings Speech) in more theaters over the holidays.. instead, releasing it day and date with Iron Lady , mid January?  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-20-2011 03:27 PM                        Last I heard, a few weeks ago, they are platforming it on Christmas Day. If it goes well, it will follow the usual Kings Speech type rollout, because we know America is craving a Silent B&W French Film  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 12-20-2011 11:41 PM                     yeah, what's up with all these movies being released in the last ten days of the year - how annoying, wish I had more time on my plate running off to the movies.  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-21-2011 09:47 AM                        They need a one week run in NY or LA to qualify for the Academy Awards. The more "art" type can platform for a week or so to get word of mouth and best of buzz going and then milk them for the two months leading up to the Oscars after the Chirstmas blockbusters have already burned out.  |  IP: Logged Edward Havens Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 614 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 12-21-2011 11:09 AM                     Why is TWC being cautious with their rollout of a black and white, silent, 1.33:1 French movie? Gee, I wonder... The local arthouse in Pleasant Hill is having a rare opening 12:01am show of The Artist tomorrow night. I just might go.  |  IP: Logged Tim Asten Film Handler Posts: 98 From: Brighton, United Kingdom Registered: Nov 2006 posted 12-22-2011 07:42 AM                     I thought this section was for movie reviews?  |  IP: Logged
