Thread: Robert's Film- HOW TO BE

i thank my fellow poster for his/her comment that HOW TO BE is a beautiful film and i would enjoy it. but my point wasn't whether HOW TO BE was a beautiful and or enjoyable film. my point was this- producers/exhibitors realized already that teen age girls have no desire to see Robert in a film unless he's playing Edward Cullen.

In all honesty, the british film industry isnt nearly as big as the american one, how often do you guys see british films in the cinema that arent harry potter? It doesn't mean the film is bad, i just think although there is a huge fanbase for Rob over there it would probably still be very hard to market a british film there, let alone one that isn't even big...
