Kvikk Lunsj Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 What would that accomplish?Have other people see it first. There critics in Chicago and other big cities. Why can not the academy sometimes wait to see a film like majority of Americans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Have other people see it first. There critics in Chicago and other big cities. Why can not the academy sometimes wait to see a film like majority of Americans.If the Academy waits to see a film like the Majority of Americans things like Les Mis could possibly miss the cut. And also, let's be honest here, Academy members see these films up to a month and sometimes more earlier than anyone else, I doubt they care which city gets it first. And, honestly I doubt anyone cares except maybe Ebert who'll bitch about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Because then I would have to wait.Why do people in the rest of the country need to see movies earlier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does NYC need to see movies before everybody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 The rule is the resaon why the film "Limelight" which was filmed in 1952 was not nominated (and didn't win either) best score until 1972! Because it was not shown in LA till then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the academy can see movies before everybody else because of screening so they can vote on them. Why do movies are release in LA/NYC first? Why not Boston/Chicago/San Fransisco.

RichWS Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Why not Boston/Chicago/San Fransisco.They get it in the second week. It's not a long wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Dear media: There is more to the US then New York and California You mean LA/NYC. People who not live in NYC or LA do not get media attention. How often is Buffalo or San Diego on the news or get special screenings.

(Its most annoying with weather actually-they will go "here is the midwest", now here is Texas. Up next is Nevada! Wait-you just skiped a few states!)

Which I think is a joke. If going to do national weather try to do it evenly imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you come to NY now, you can hear about the Frankenstorm 24/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if a movie opened in Chicago/Houston/Boston/Toronto San Fransisco it still have a huge theater average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
