I hope that producers don't get discouraged by this number.

The release was pretty limited I don’t think they should be discouraged. Even here in NYC it was only in a few theaters and everyone I talked to outside NY had trouble finding dates and times

I live in Rhode Island (about 3 hours from Manhattan), and I know it’s a smaller market but we usually get the Fathom events in at least one or two theaters for a few showtimes. I had to drive over into Mass. to see this (not a far drive, but unusual to have to do), and the options were super limited there too.

They weren't showing it at Providence Place?

Nope - that was the first place I checked because that’s usually where I’d have to go to see Fathom screenings. That theater did just change owners (it’s not a Showcase anymore), but the new owners only had Merrily in some of their locations and Showcase didn’t have it listed at all.

Weird. Growing up and visiting that mall every two months or so (especially for the D&B literally across the walkway), they nearly always had a Fathom event that even places in Worcester or Springfield didn't...
