Deadline: Apparition Lands Welcome To The Rileys [WRILY]. Antibody Mar 12, 16:04

So basically, Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group buys another interesting indie film that no other major distributors wanted to buy {nm} Peterlee Mar 12, 16:57

I don't means that the film would bomb at box office. (THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS does respectfully business in US arthouse market) {nm} Peterlee Mar 12, 17:04

Imaginarium was intended to be a wide release, due to starpower.. {nm} Facto Mar 12, 17:46

I just lost a vast amount of text in the IM here - an IM that somehow got lost while publishing. How is this possible?!? Facto Mar 12, 17:51

I'll try to repost the cut/paste from BOM, just to see whether the same thing happens over again {nm} Facto Mar 12, 17:54

It did indeed happen again... Trying it once more, and without attempting to hyperlink from it, this time Facto Mar 12, 17:55

Ok, so, I don't know what to make of this, but including a copy/paste from BOM can mean the entire IM gets scrapped then. Odd. {nm} Facto Mar 12, 17:56

SPWAG paid very little money to acquire this film. And SPC didn't intend to give this film a huge wide release Peterlee Mar 12, 18:01

Please note that the message you just replied to lost a large IM after I pressed enter to publish :-) Facto Mar 12, 18:04

It explains why more US indie producers are trying to make films with better poteitial in foreign markets. Peterlee Mar 12, 18:25

this is a bit different. Apparition will be more committed to the theatrical than if Sony acquired on their own. {nm} Moviesnob Mar 12, 17:06

You means that Apparition co-buys this film with SPWAG, not only Sony acquired on their own? Peterlee Mar 12, 17:18
