I comes out on Feb 1st.
And yes, I'm sure poor promotion had a lot to do with that. But its distributor Overture Films got shut down just a couple months before the film's release and its production company Hammer Films is literally just getting off the ground, so there was very little time/money there for promotion in the first place, and pretty much ZERO money for awards season campaigning.
So given the circumstances, it's not surprising at all that it failed financially, and that it's not making a blip on the awards season radar. Still, it's nice to see it get noticed by the various critics' circles and Critics Choice Awards, Gotham Independent Awards, etc, despite all this.
