Author Topic: What happened to "HOUSE OF SAND & FOG" ? Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 03-08-2004 03:24 AM                        "HOUSE OF SAND & FOG" will be released on DVD on March 30th and I was surprised how this critically aclaimed film did not have a normal wide release here in Hawaii. When it opened in late December at only the Ward 16 and the Dole Cannery, I thought it was only limited to a few screens in the beginning and open wide in early January after the holidays. I do not know if the film had a wide release elsewhere but "HOUSE OF SAND & FOG" only played in one other theatre beside the Ward & the Dole Cannery and never played in the majority of our mutiplex theatres here in the islands. Based on what I know about the film, it was a major motion picture that usually gets a wide release. Does anyone know what happened? -Claude  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-08-2004 02:01 PM                     No matter how good the acting, no one wanted to see a depressing film. That said, we open here for morning shows this week to see if we can eek out just a little bit of money.  |  IP: Logged
