So...despite having a release date listed literally everywhere as yesterday, apparently The Imitation Game is actually only out in limited release? And no one seems to know it's full release date? I am so confused by their marketing. You could have...y'know...mentioned that...ever? IMDb doesn't even know about it. They just have yesterday listed as the release date.
Also, theater websites like Cinemark have it listed neither under current films or coming attractions so...that's baffling.
After more digging: The website for the film even had a countdown to yesterday as the big opening! IN ONLY FOUR THEATERS IN TWO CITIES! That's not even the standard limited release anymore. It's like they were trying the super old Hollywood version of limited release. Like....1920's old Hollywood. This is ludicrous.
Edit: Today an article was published talking about the weekend's take. Apparently the plan is and has always been to run in those 4 theaters this weekend and next and then go wide on Dec 12. Except that no one heard about that plan and I'm still grumpy.
