In other words, they're abandoning ship. Which seemed like a given after they picked up Jackie.

Given that Jackie seems to be a much more manageable film to work with it's not surprising. Also as has been noted there isn't a lot of love for the film itself it would seem (not saying its a bad film, I obviously haven't seen it but warm receptions are not necessarily enthusiastic ones.

It's got a 7.1 average rating, which is good but certainly not Oscar caliber

Downright low-key compared to Disney's debate tie-in.

[RandomCat]

Took me a moment to see what they did. Guess the marketing team for this movie really is just an unpaid intern.

Unlike Disney's tie-in to Zootopia, it's also a major stretch. Disney didn't have to photoshop anything to create the tie-in.

I think it's funny because it's so ridiculous   But I wouldn't say that is a plus for the movie

[Arlborn]

Unnecessary.

I agree.

 

On the other hand, they managed to come up with a 'promotion' that doesn't mention Nate Parker, which is kinda hard to do when he is star, director and co-writer.  In that sense it's sorta a win, I guess.

Lmao, this reply to the original tweet:

Just Trump. Kind of a wash at best.

I saw one during football this weekend. I can't recall which game. Girl on the Train is really stepping up their marketing now. The difference is astounding.

The Girl on the Train will open in at least 3,000 theaters. This is probably gonna be lucky if it even opens in 1/3rd of that. Seems like FSL is dropping it and moving on, especially after their purchase of Jackie.

[That One Girl]

Fox doesn't give a shit about this movie anymore.  They're gonna campaign for Jackie and leave this in the dark.
