Wasn’t “The King’s Speech” in only a few theaters to begin with?

“Wasn’t “The King’s Speech” in only a few theaters to begin with?”

*****

Not sure. Sometimes that’s done for Academy Award purposes. Early limited release for timing to qualify for Oscar nominations and large release later.

For Atlas Shrugged, definitely not the case. More of universal loathing by left-wing Hollywood.

What’s funny is that if Atlas Shrugged does become a hit, Hollywood will use the movie’s existence as an example of how they are unbiased.

You have officially gone off the deep end when you start comparing this film to "The King's Speech." Compare it to "The Passion Of The Christ" if you like, for the way liberal critics are blackballing it. But it still comes up way short in acting and production quality. And of course, TPOTC had a billion more built-in fans, and the story was a lot better.
