Day Zero -- It's Official!

[yeuxdebleu.livejournal.com]

Day Zero will officially open at the Angelika Film Center in NYC on Friday, January 18.

It will be crucial to sell out the opening weekend and as much of the subsequent week as possible in order for the release to grow to more cities/screens.

So....the better the attendance at the Angelika, the wider the release will be. If you or anyone you know in the NYC metropolitan area can attend, please urge them to do so. It will be very important in determining what happens next for this film. High attendance in NYC = DZ shown in your town.

A week or so ago, someone mentioned seeing a February 26 release date for the DVD of Day Zero and wondered if it was correct. It is.

I don't know about other countries, but many movies here simply open in theaters without a premiere event. But the "big" movies usually have a premiere. I think it basically depends how how big a splash the movie company wants to make.

No, premieres aren't always at film festivals. A festival may be the first place a film is seen (especially independents,) but it isn't always treated like the premiere of a film with a big name studio behind it. In fact most aren't. The festivals nearly always show independent films that are hoping to be seen and picked up by a distributor.

It's not easy to explain....or understand.

In about 3 and a half days i'll be in the cinema enjoying the first screening!!! YAY!!

And you're going to love every minute of it!

You can say that again, but thanks for trying. I'm new at this movie game, have never taken a lot of notice of how the film industry works..until i discovered those bright blue eyes..lol!

"And you're going to love every minute of it!"

Apart from the Trilogy it'll be the first film i get to see where he has more then a small part. I was so thrilled when i went to see Happy Feet last year, it was my very first experience of an 'Elijah' movie at a cinema, and that was just his voice! I'm glad we're getting to see it twice, once won't be nearly enough. I can't wait! *squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*
