Why so few showings?


It was playing at only two theaters in Chicago on 9/14/19 and none on the following Thursday and the days after. Is this one of those play-in-theaters and then go straight to streaming?

I didn't think it was a good movie, even tho it got good reviews.

I think its a limited release where the theaters bid to show it in their town. It was a really good movie yet I wonder how low the box office was. At the saturday night 10:55 screening I saw only one other person was in the audience. I'm guessing it wasnt advertised. I only knew about it cause I watched all the trailers on fandango for my town.
