The number of available screens shrank last year, which was considered a healthy thing (economically) for an overextended industry. Maybe the lack of screens devoted to alternative films is a side effect. Too bad.
According to Box Office Mojo, Laurel Canyon is playing at all of ten theaters, four of which are here. The Safety of Objects, which I may see tomorrow, is only at 32 theaters.
I made a conscious decision to skip Bringing Down the House. I feel like I've already seen it after watching the trailer a dozen times.
Side note: Before Laurel Canyon, AMC ran the trailer for Neil LaBute's The Shape of Things, which I'm eager to see. The version staged in New York, with the same cast, was a truly memorable evening, and I'm curious to see how it works on film.
