The teeny boppers may be dumb enough to go back for more, but will their parents sit through it again? quote: GET READY FOR THE BEST EXTENDED CUT EVER: HIT FILM COMES TO THEATERS WITH 20 MINUTES OF NEW FOOTAGE AND FOUR ADDITIONAL SONGS IN “ONE DIRECTION: THIS IS US – EXTENDED FAN CUT” CULVER CITY, Calif., September 9, 2013 – In response to the fan support at the box office for TriStar Pictures’ hit film One Direction: This Is Us, the studio is releasing an extended cut of the film, in theaters this Friday, it was announced today by Jeff Blake, Chairman, Worldwide Marketing and Distribution for Sony Pictures. One Direction: This Is Us – Extended Fan Cut will feature 20 minutes of new footage and four songs not previously in the movie. The film has taken in an estimated $50 million worldwide since opening.  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 09-09-2013 04:17 PM                        As I'll be playing it starting this Friday, I checked when I got that email and was told that I'll be receiving the "extended edition". The timing suits me fine. Any kiddies who just couldn't wait can come here and watch it again.  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 09-09-2013 05:36 PM                        Not an issue for me since we'll be dropping it Thursday. Not many people coming to begin with, so I don't think it's a big deal. What I see as a potential problem is theatres that holdover for week 3 and somehow miss the information about the extra footage.  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 09-09-2013 06:03 PM                        A couple of months ago I started getting emails from several people (I assume young teenagers) asking if and when I would be playing this One Direction movie. I remember one saying that she wants to "see this with my besties and I don't want to have to travel to do it". Besties? I have never before received so many emails from what at least appears to be a significant number of different people asking when I will be playing a movie. Which won't necessarily translate into butts in the seats, of course.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-09-2013 06:52 PM                     Why does this surprise anyone? They did the same 3-weeks-later-director's-cut thing with the Bieber concert movie.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"
