    Every movie at Cannes gets a ten minute standing ovation. That’s normal.

    I’m excited to see this though. But I’m not going to go to the theatre for it.

      Same here, and frankly I will never again think it is surprising that a theatrical release is underperforming. Doesn’t matter which film. Theaters are underperforming because of many factors.

      I can buy my own copy of the film for less than it would take for me and one other person to see it together once in a theater.

        Which is why for someone like me who always hated theaters for the crowded seats and annoying people and noises, it’s never been better! Subscription to see movies whenever I want, and usually less than 10 people in the theater. It’s great.

          Yeah, I can understand that. While I will mourn the death of the theater experience, it has been a very slow death. It has not really been the experience I remember for a long time.
