Not-Smart Competition. Trade Roughage 06/12/08
Under discussion:
Get Smart
(2008)
Questions: Why are both
The Love Guru
and
Get Smart
––broad comedies that should have mainstream appeal, if they actually appeal to anyone––
opening on the same day
, and how is the competition going to impact each film’s box office? Answers: either because Paramount locked in a bunch of promo deals for
The Love Guru
before realizing how much wider
Get Smart
was tracking, or because Mike Myers didn’t want to change the release date; and badly.
First Run Pictures has picked up
film critic Godfrey Cheshire’s personal documentary,
Moving Midway
. The film, through which Cheshire examines race relations and his own family’s plantation, will open in New York and then make the unusual move of going straight to a platform release in the South.
What Just Happened?
, which just got its U.S. release date via Magnolia,
will open
the Karlovy Vary Film Festival on July 4.
