August 23rd only has two releases. August 30th is wide open; if a big enough film is placed on that date, people will see it. So somebody needs to cut their losses and move to a date where there's less competition.

Thread still needs a date change.

 

Speaking of which, is this even still releasing? I've seen zilch about the film and it opens in 4 days. Marketing wise I mean. I've seen the trailers.

I've seen a few ads here and there. It's gonna make little though (the only ending it was gonna have after being delayed so much).

Pretty much. There's a small chance it could surprise a bit though. We all applied the same logic to Alpha last August and it didn't end up doing too bad (relatively speaking).

Yeah this films smells of "Heavy Duty Award Contender That Did Not Turn Out Well".

I saw a single TV spot for it and they advertised it as a comedy...is it supposed to be...?

Almost certainly given it is a Richard Linklater film. 

IMDB has it listed under Comedy, Drama, and Mystery.

In what way does it smell of an awards movie?

[aladdino]

even worse OW than the kitchen, maybe 4,5m OW

[Ryan Reynolds]

another bomb for Annapurna , way to go Meg

[filmlover]

Unfortunate, but unsurprising considering how long it's been sitting on the shelf.

[Avatree]

40% from 30 reviews on RT. 

Interesting that some reviews call it a "hilarious comedy" and others call it a "boring drama".

 

I'm looking forward to seeing it, just hope it gets a theatrical release near me. i'd have thought it should, even Last Flag Flying got a one off screening.

Is this a movie that could have benefited from a different release date (like, say, its original late March date) or is the kind that doesn't really matter when it's released, it just stinks? $3.46M on opening weekend for a $1,440 PTA. Probably a 60% incoming, much like The Kitchen on its 2nd weekend.
