Jennifer Garner on Defense Over New Film
We’ve at least made some strides. A few years ago, Hollywood attacked Middle America and Republicans with wildly open abandon; a few years ago they apologized for nothing and proudly wore their preachy cinematic leftism on their sleeves. Today, however, you have George Clooney assuring us his political movie isn’t political and now this:
“I don’t know if I would want to watch it with a politician, but I would like to watch it in Iowa and see if they are still friends with me after because we made it with such respect,” she said. “And I come from a small town, so I just want to make sure that they enjoy it and have as much fun with it as we intend for them to have.”
This is with respect to her new indie film “Butter,” which is probably going to be one those preordained flops Hollywood makes to aggrandize themselves.
This is also the film where producer Harvey Weinstein issued a challenge that our resident badass Dana Loesch took him up on. And now after six weeks and no response, it’s probably safe to say that Weinstein — whose Indian name is He Who Supports Fugitive Child Rapists – was just blowing more of that cowardly Hollywood smoke.
‘Jack and Jill’ hits 2% at Rotten Tomatoes
Now I’m even more convinced it’s a classic.
‘Margin Call’ Approaching 250,000 Video-On-Demand Rentals
“Margin Call” has grossed more than $2.5 million in 178 theaters, a relatively large number for a film in limited release and that is available simultaneously via video on demand.
Feltheimer said he expects the thriller about Wall Street’s financial crisis to generate at least as much in video-on-demand revenue as it does in ticket sales.
If a relatively low-budget film with almost no marketing can do this, what can a high-profile film do?
My guess is that part of the reason the studio was so quiet about this launch was to avoid the inevitably crybabying from theatre owners who would’ve exploded over this and maybe even refused to screen it. This is what they did to “Tower Heist,” where the idea was simply to VOD it three weeks after the theatrical debut in just a few select areas.
