Neon CEO believed "Hit Man" would gross more than $25 million box office if it received US theatrical release

Nor did Neon take out a TV ad for Longlegs, which is unprecedented for a wide release.

That's a bit of spin. It's unusual for a film to break 50m with no TV but it's fairly common for indie wide releases. Digital is much

Everyone big was in on HIT MAN. Linklater took the money

Linklater explicitly stated that at Q&A. Also - Originally set in Houston, but moved to New Orleans because film credits were available
