Nation-wide Theaters Release, Limited Theaters only, or direct-to-DVD?


How are they going to release this film? Nation-wide Theaters Release, Limited Theaters only, or direct-to-DVD?

reply

The picture quality based on the trailer looks likes direct-to-DVD, but the passing of Robin Williams may lead to a wider theatrical release.

reply

It will be released "in most theaters" and on Video on Demand tomorrow (November 7); opens in New York City on November 14.

It is as Redbox as of today so I think that answers that, at least in the USA.

Never heard of it until I saw it at Redbox. I don't think it made it into very many theaters - seems odd that with Robin's passing they wouldn't give it more exposure. Possibly because they wanted him to be remembered for something good as his last movie - Night at the Museum 3.
