I've actually been seeing quite a lot of ads and spots for Rent, and people I've been talking to want to see it. I could see it having a not half-bad run.

Some interesting news that Libs and xia might be interested in. It appears that Memoirs of a Geisha has been pushed back to a December 23rd release date instead of going wide on the 9th.

I'll update it when I see some more confirmations, but it's official site isn't likely to have it's date wrong.

Sony maybe is a little more confident in RENT.

Yeah, comingsoon also confirmed that Memoirs of a Geisha has been pushed back a couple of weeks to December 23rd. This is definitely a confidence move from Sony/Columbia. They must be quite happy with the latest screening results that they are willing to go head-to-head against Munich.

I'll make the change.

I think RENT and GEISHA look like two of the year's best films. I hope both are smash successes.

Yeah, it seems obvious to me that Sony are giving RENT some breathing space. However, it will be interesting to see how wide is wide.

Will Memoirs of a Geisha open wide on December 23rd? Because if so, it's going to get crushed by the other releases. The weekend is way too overcrowded.

I dunno, I doubt I'll see it but I thought it looked interesting. And if it really is going wide, I could actually see it having a very respectable run for a documentary. You can thank the eye candy and narrative structure for that one.

Maybe the only reason I hold the opinion I do is that the theatre I go to has a stake in the film and therefore attached its trailer to every single film that plays there, I'm talking EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Oh man, that just kills it for me, I hate it when they do that. I was so sick of The Longest Yard trailer by the time the movie came out, but Regal actually had the trailer play (sometimes TWICE) in front of every movie from late April to it's opening.
