What happened to Mike Judge's Idiocracy? | Thread profile

This opens friday. Is anyone going to see it ? There's quite a few placesnear me showing it.I haven't seen an ad, trailer or tv spot for it.It's listed as ' Untitled Mike Judge Comedy ' on moviefone.Are they just putting it out there and seeing what happens ?

Do you mind if I ask which theaters are showing it, Spiral?

According to Box Office Mojo it is on 125 screens. The cities are:Los AngelesChicagoDallasHoustonAustinAtlantaToronto

I really want to see this but if they are sneaking this into a few theaterswith no publicity...its gotta be terrible

Yes, because all movies released without publicity must suck. That makestotal sense.

I know Equilibrium has a lot of fans, and that was dumped with nopublicity.eXistenZ, a David Cronenberg film with a big budget was dumped in UStheaters. I think it's a great film.And I think we all remember a little film called "Episode III", about abunch of people in outer space.

Equiliribium and eXlistenZ were both released my Miramax. Regular rulesdon't apply when dealing with Miramax (and or any other company theWeinsteins touch).

This won't have screenings for critics...not a good sign.
