This movie doesn't come out for another week i thought

I have feeling right after release date of The Pristige this movie will start getting mixed reviews. One group of critics will be saying that it was masterpiece, another - mediocre film without anything clear.

But then, when everything calms down, 2nd group will understand that they were wrong and this movie will become their fav (something what happened with Memento).

BTW, with The Fountain I see the same situation, which happened with movies like Donnie Darko or Requim for a Dream.

 

[JackBauer24]

No it doesn't. Doesn't even come out until November here but they'll have already screened it for critics. And some critics will be writing their reviews early.

Here's the link to the actual AICN review.

Can't understand what are you talking about.

The Prestige will be released in US on Oct 20th, right?

 

[Ronny Shade]

[Cinemaman]

[Ronny Shade]

Limited release i think first. I have to wait until January to see it.

 

[MulligaN Stew]

Why spoil it Retro?! Why?!

I need to see this on the 20th. Limited film release!!!

Aaarrrggghhh, if the local theater are playing Jackass 2, Employee of the Month, Beerfest, The Covenant. . . well, you see where I'm going with this. . . . why can't I have a decent reason to go. . .a la the Prestige.

:concerned:

So you would rather see The Prestige instead of the creme de la creme of modern day cinema?

Well it said so on imdb. I guess that info is incorrect then.

I have some worries that The Prestige won't be played in my local theatre (so this means I will have to go to find another theatre to finally see it!)

They must be wrong, because:

1) ComingSoon is better site to believe.

2) This movie is very promoted, so I can't see any reason to release it with limit.

I never heard of a limited release. The movie´s been fairly well-promoted by the studio and it´s getting early glowing reviews. Clearly the studio seems to believe, with good reason, they have a winner.

 

[Cinemaman]

If The Prestige gets enough positive reviews from critics, then it will have nominations of the main Oscar Awards.

I think so, because The Black Dahlia, Hollywoodland and Flags of Our Fathers (they all were Oscar favs) didn't have critical success.

So I can see The Prestige, The Good Shepherd and Good German being the main movies for categories like Best Motion-Picture and Best Director.

I even think The Prestige will be able to get Best Director Award

But I think we should just wait for 2-3 weeks after it's release date, when most of critics will post their reviews.

I should have known better since it was imdb. I hope it does well at the Box office.

Hollywoodland got great reviews.
