If it ever opens. I keep seeing the release date pushed back. Scheduled a date night with my wife for the last date I saw announced, Dec 2. Now I won’t bother unless I actually see it on the theater website with on-line ticket ordering for that day.
They might as well push “Darkest Hour” into 2018 for general release. It’s been in “limited release” for a couple weeks now, which means about 3 showings per day outside New York and Los Angeles.
But pushing it to general release a week after Star Wars comes out? Talk about setting it up for failure!
Within about 10 miles of me, there are 5 multi-plex theaters with a total of about 60 screens. My guess is that 40 or more of those screens will be Star Wars and nothing but until at least Christmas. Add to that the fact that with this new wave of reclining seats in theaters, the capacity of those 60 screens (even adding in the 10 new ones opening this weekend) is maybe 75% of last year, so more screens, less seats. Doesn’t give much oxygen for anything else coming out, does it?
