It also has 93% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. (The hype is that Steven Spielberg was shocked when I saw for the first time he returned to DreamWorks in a garbage bag …) Then, the Paramount had a preview and the movie played well, so the study was looking for an approach to free him. Some business of U.S. $ 80K later, Paramount added 21 screens at midnight this week, including ArcLight LA (which sold its 15 shows at midnight on Thursday, Friday and Saturday combined).
