why is this movie that is such a great novel so limited, I cant find a theater in 100 miles playing it.
I wonder if that vampire movie out would be doing so good, if it had any real competition.
and how could a movie like the road have a chance at a record if it is limited in only a few theaters? thats like an undefeated fighter that never had to fight a real contender, the title means nothing.
Are you kidding me? This movie isn't playing in Atlanta?? WIth all the trash that makes it to the big screen, how can a movie of such a great book not be showing in a major metropolitan area? This is unbelievable...
