Limited and VOD Releases: Documenting the History of Art

May 24th, 2019

The Souvenir

Documentaries dominate this week’s list of limited releases with five such films appearing below. All of them are about an artist, music, or fashion, so if you are into those, you are in luck. Of these, I think Woodstock: Three Days That Defined a Generation will do the best. Meanwhile, there are a couple of VOD titles that are also worth checking out: Avengement and Funny Story. More...

Limited and VOD Releases: Missing these Limited Releases is Unforgivable

October 19th, 2018

Can You Ever Forgive Me?

It’s an excellent week for limited releases with a trio of amazing films that have great star power as well. Can You Ever Forgive Me?, What They Had, and Wildlife all have a shot at box office success. Not to mention several documentaries, like On Her Shoulders, Sharkwater Extinction, Transformer, that could do well in limited release. More...

Good Kill

This week's list of limited releases is shorter than usual, as I needed to get the home market numbers done. On the other hand, there are only six or so films earning great reviews and / or any amount of buzz, so there's not much you are missing. Good Kill could be the biggest hit, at least for a week before it goes to Video on Demand. Others, like Slow West, are already playing on Video on Demand. More...
