Looks great. Edward Norton having a mini resurgance this year.

Great trailer. Hopefully it counterprograms its way to box office success. I'm sure that's gonna be easier said than done because films like Harriet, Midway, and The Good Liar are aiming for roughly the same audience.

 

It'd be great if Gugu Mbatha-Raw could be in the running for Supporting Actress...

And Ford v. Ferrari... and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, but I guess that's gonna bomb now that everyone's gonna #boycottSony

This looks awful.

Maybe they should give up on adapting literary fiction to the big screen.

Looks pretty bad. I do want to read the original book someday though, so I'm going to skip this.

This looks really messy, not gonna lie. We'll see what kind of reception it gets in a few weeks.

It seems they're trying to visualize something that happened or is described on the page and it just might not work.

[The Panda]

That trailer was messy, have to take this off my anticipated list

[Ross612]

Don’t know what people are seeing wrong, this looks fucking awesome

[TMP]

Bad trailer but whatever, I hope this movie's still good. Ed Norton's such a good actor, I wish he wasn't "hard to work it" or whatever since it's been way too long since he's done something. Collateral Beauty was his only live-action role since Birdman.

Will be getting first reactions later tonight (first screening at 9:15 pm MST).

So Norton is at first channeling his mentally challenged character from the score. Which I kind of think is pretty cool. As for the trailer I don't see what is so messy about it and it's definitely something I will see.

These reserved reactions so far lead me to believe that this is going nowhere.

It's not gonna be an Oscar player, but the reviews ain't bad so far? Norton's getting good notices, sounds like he's not as broad as the trailer makes him appear to be.

I really hope this this movie doesn't get savaged. The book is pretty beloved.

57% after 35 reviews so far.  Hopefully it doesn't completely crater critically but whether it does or doesn't, it doesn't seem like this has much traction anyway. Will probably get lost in the shuffle between Terminator: Dark Fate and good holdover options (Joker, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Zombieland: Double Tap).

 

Hoping I'm wrong though!

Will release in roughly 1,250 locations next Friday.

 

Here I thought films like The Sun is Also a Star and The Kitchen had low theatre counts for WB releases. It feels like this might have been better off opening platform, or at least limited, to start off.
