^Oh shit, its that bad?

Guess so.

They could be waiting to see how well the movie does overseas, especially in Spanish-speaking countries considering the director's nationality. Heck, the trailer that was released recently was marked an "international trailer."

Universal international has the trailer in front of Jurassic Park this weekend. All release dates are in October and November.

The Weinstein Company’s REGRESSION is no longer scheduled for August 28, 2015 and is currently without a release date.

When a Weinstein movie tests bad, he can be brutal and totally let a movie dying ...

[Harley]

That tweet was from June 11th and nothing has been confirmed or changed. Box office mojo, fandango, etc are the old date. I expect it to move since all international dates have moved to October.

Regression opened the San Sebastián festival. The HollyWood Reporter gave it a positive review.

0/12 on RT. Oh Emma.

[Boxofficerules]

It opens in the UK today.

It opens in the UK today.

I had no fucking clue that this was happening today.

Must be a gigantic turd. Has Emma Watson finally been exposed as the toilet level actress she actually is? I thought she had enough star power to where one of her movies coming out would actually get some attention from the public.

I have not seen the movie yet (it was released last weekend here), but people and critics say it is a meh movie. There is a Spanish web called Filmaffinity where people vote for the films, and I consider it quite accurate. Amenabar films:

Tesis: 7.7 (max 10)

Abre los ojos: 7.3

The Others: 7.5

The sea inside: 7.3

Agora: 6.5

Regression: 5.6

Critics basically say that film is technnically good but forgettable.

[Noctis]

FUCK. Emma

And Colonia is off to a poor start, as well. Shame...2015 hasn't been a good year for Emma.

[zackzack]

Emma Watson will soldier on. 

[Halba]

razzie time? this is 0%, 3.3/10. the WORST reviewed movie of the year and it has 3 major stars - ethan hawke, emma watson and david thewlis.

My baby

I was pretty confident in this project but Amenábar, suprisingly, has failed

[Avatree]

This wasn't terrible, and at times quite gripping. I went along with it for the most part... however, its twist ending was disappointing. You could see it coming a mile away but I really hoped the film wouldn't carry through with what I thought it would do. I just wanted to rein it in so I could keep the good side of the film.

 

And then it does what you think it's going to do. And its done so distastefully. I have no clue why Emma Watson agreed to do this movie and particularly play this character given that she is an 'ambassador of feminism' and fights for that equal rights thing. The film's message about sexual assault victims and rape survivors just made me angry...

 

If the movie had been made 30 years ago when these events happened, then it may have been more acceptable, but watching it with a more contemporary social attitude it's just insensitive and insulting.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say the twist is the rape accusation was false.

[Harley]

The belief that an actress can only play roles that support what she believes in real life is insulting and incredibly limiting. I can't believe that there are those who can't separate movie characters vs real life. How dare she play a character that isn't socially acceptable. I think those who hate her social equality campaign have their claws out.
