Of course the press is playing it up like this movie is a blockbuster, because it has done well in limited release. It is open in 69 strategic theaters nationwide (including 4 in heavily gay Greenwich Village) near me. The movie will make money because it is low budget, and it will, of course, win tons of awards, but it is not the cultural phnomenon that the propagandists would have you believe. The re-release in IMAX of Polar Express is in a similiar number of theatres and doing better.
You've got to be kidding.

I hope this movie is never shown in an IMAX theater. I really hope it isn't shown in 3D in an IMAX theater.
