THR's review is also pretty tepid

Guess Reitman should be campaigning for Tully instead?
If you're really that upset that a movie doesn't have a guy putting a flag in a giant space rock you want there to be a boycott, then you really need to get laid tbh
To be fair, with the Mollie Tibbetts case, I think Sony might have had cold feet and were afraid of any sort of backlash if this opened wide in 2k theaters.
Obviously this question will be irrelevant if one of the two underwhelms, but when was the last time an actor landed both Lead and Supporting nominations in the same year? Kidman seems to have a really good chance at getting a nomination from at least one of these movies.

That's because the trailer up now was a re-upload, because the initial trailer got the date wrong or something. It's currently unlisted, but I believe it got about 6 million or so views before being unlisted.
EDIT: Actually, it's at 7.5M views.
This is the trailer that got unlisted btw
