The better question is should we already be resigned to Annihilation not getting recognized? The reviews are absolutely there (not even divided like mother!'s were), and it sounds like the kind of movie that would benefit from being released early and sticking in people's minds. But it's likely to bomb in the box office and Paramount in general doesn't seem to give a shit about it, at least now. I'm guessing the Zodiac fate is much more likely than that of Get Out or Grand Budapest or Mad Max.
