The theater manager in Atlanta heard back from Universal. He was told that there would be discussions at Universal today about letting theatres show the screening to more people, but it would be at least 6 EST before there was a decision. The manager said it did not sound hopeful. He also said that Universal had specified that the screening be in one of the smaller theaters (it's a 24-screen theater).

Sigh.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I guess this is so they can report packed theaters. I bet, however, that "$11,000 per screen, in very limited release" would pack more punch.

If it convinces the theatre chains that there will be a huge groundswell of interest in the movie and they'd better rush to book it exclusively for a couple weeks to take care of the demand, then it will all be worth it.

I really do think it has the potential to be the next Star Wars, seriously.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You mean with extensive re-edits to already released movies and a creole slinging goofball CGI character?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am guessing it's so they can show theaters there is a huge audience out there, but not to sell too many seats now so as to to not make an appreciable dent in the all-important opening weekend grosses.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

They haven't finished the effects yet. Tudyk is going to be replaced with CG, just like in I, Robot.

No, I meant in the Lennonesque "more popular than Jesus Christ" sense....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Angry people will be burning piles of the film?

I can't even.

And JarJar will replace Zoe, including the re-release of the series DVDs.

Adam Baldwin will be sent around to all our houses to collect our existing dvds, and give out coupons for the improved ZoeZoe version. Resisters will be cheerfully beaten.
