Just realized that without the f-bomb, this movie could be rated PG.

This movie deserved alot on BO front. Well made movie with good performances by the entire cast! Not sure why it bombed? Maybe the studio projected it as Arthouse movie i guess. Hmm

Didn't got much chance, The Weinstein seem to be a bit in financial trouble lately and when this and Gold didn't get any award traction (that they probably felt was needed for the movie has any chance) they kind of cut their lost and gave both kind of cheap release.

 

The Weinstein company (distributor of The Founder on the domestic market) is getting sued by the movie producers over that release:

To be frank this wasn't typical award material type of movie. Weinstein focused more on critical acclaim rather than minting money at the same time. Not all Critically acclaimed movies do well at boxoffice. 

But yea it deserved few nominations apart from that Weinstein has over the top expectation!

Wish this would have done better. I really enjoyed this movie.
