Spirited Away
« on: September 15, 2002, 01:35:32 PM »
So Spirited Away opens this next Friday. Disney has changed the release from "wide" to "limited." I sort of wonder what caused the change. Could it be Americas' phobia of foreign films?

So it appears that Spirited Away is not coming anywhere near Utah for a while. Somehow I feel slighted, especially when Hollywood is giving me stuff like "The Banger Sisters" as compensation. Actually that is more of an insult.  >:(

I'm banking on Spirited Away at least making it to the Tower Theater in SLC. If it's going to be anywhere in Utah, it will probably be there. We'll just have to wait until the film establishes itself a little first.

The Sept. 20 opening for Spirited Away is VERY limited.  It's going into a little wider release on the 27th, but it's still mostly limited to NY and California with a couple special screenings in other places.  It should go into wide release in the first or second week of October, and then it will come here.  Utah is rarely part of a limited release, so we shouldn't be surprised that we have to wait a little longer, along with the other 45 lesser states of the union.

It will be worth the wait, though - I don't doubt that.  It will play SLC - probably not at the Tower, though.  I'm guessing it might open at the Broadway like Mononoke did if Disney screws it up.  If they do it right (and they probably won't) it's wide release will hit a wider array of theaters, including some in Utah County.  Just keep your pants on - it'll come here.

I know it will come eventually, it just annoys me that Disney is handling the opening. They might as well do a large release this weekend when there is little to compete against rather than doing a few test runs in large cities. This is escpecially annoying since the demographics in New York and California are not necessarily the same as the rest of the country.

So right now on rottentomatoes.com Spirited away has 50 reviews and is at 100%. Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever has 58 reviews and is at 0%. Now which one is in wide release and is suppose to be the more entertaining movie?

So um, Spirited Away was the most lucrative film for the weekend in theaters where it played. Well, maybe not, but it did average $17.3k per the 26 theaters where is played grossing $0.4m. That is the highest theater average for last weekend.

And Sprig, yes it is lower than 50%... much lower.
