This will probably be one of the bigger deals to come out of Sundance, so might as well give this a thread.

A mid-summer launch like The Big Sick two years ago would seem most likely.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Amazon overpaid for a film that no one outside Hollywood will likely care about. Is this expected to be an awards contender?

Releases on June 7 (don't know if limited or wide)

[SLAM!]

Finally, Amazon's Sundance films are getting release dates...

Ugh it’ll eventually be on Amazon. Always forget that I have that service and that they have sometimes good movies and tv shows.

The Mindy Project was hilarious, this is going to be great. Though the plot sounds like a Morning Glory rip-off (great movie too).

Nice little The Office reunion with Kaling and Amy Ryan in this film. Bold choice to go wide in June, must have a lot of faith. Also double duty with Emma Thompson between this and MiB a week later

EXCLUSIVE: Mindy Kaling’s female comedy Late Night, which she stars in, wrote and produced, will now go wide on June 14 instead of June 7. Those in New York and Los Angeles will still be able to see the Amazon Studios film in its exclusive run on June 7.

 

Seems a little late to change your release strategy, but...okay?

[TMP]

Emma Thompson gonna have a busy June 14 between two movies with low PTA's!

Honestly, it's for the best. This was gonna bomb as a wide release out the bat with how little marketing there's been for it.

[Barnack]

In my market the trailer did play quite a bit in theater before movies, but I do not feel they play well and with what very well received comedy make these days a 7/10 one is not an easy sell.

[BoxOfficeFangrl]

I've seen ads/trailers for this quite a bit, the Mindy Kaling parts don't look funny to me at all and she's kind of the lead, so...
