I discovered that we only run this on one screen. It is a pretty boring movie, but I was surprised it didn't get a wider release. After all, it does have Robert Redford and Willem Dafoe.

My theater ran it for three weeks. We lost it yesterday. I believe it is a limited release.

Roger Ebert gave it 3 stars.

Roger is generous lately. He seems to be giving a lot of movies 3 stars these days.

Robert Redford is no longer someone who can bring in audiences on his star power alone. That's the reason for the limited release of a movie that didn't look very interesting in the trailer.

Rodger gave Catwoman only 1 star, and he likes boobs!

We are running The Clearing and it has done well for us. I guess our little old ladies like Robert Redford.
