A few hundred theaters will see the opening of the animated
October films include surprises
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — October packs a trick-or-treat bag full of little films aimed at beating the usual year-end rush.
Nearly a dozen movies will debut Friday, though only six can be seen nationwide; the gangster tale Knockaround Guys; the hiphop romance Brown Sugar; The Rules of Attraction, about disturbed college love affairs; the action thriller The Transporter; the family fantasy Tuck Everlasting; and White Oleander, about a conniving mother convicted of murder.
"It's typical to see a massive onslaught in October, which represents an opportunity for films to get noticed by moviegoers and Oscar before the big blockbuster holiday season," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of boxoffice tracker Exhibitor Relations.
Pokemon 4Ever, Madonna's desert-island Swept Away, and the haunted submarine thriller Below.
Limited to a handful of theaters is Jerry Seinfeld's documentary Comedian; the surreal love story Punch-Drunk Love, starring Adam Sandler; Michael Moore's anti-gun documentary Bowling For Columbine; and Ed Burns' Ash Wednesday, about two Irish-American brothers who tangle with the mob.
Starting films small in a few large cities can help build wordof-mouth for later widespread distribution.
Last October featured a similar glut of new movies, with between nine and 16 new films opening on various weekends, Dergarabedian said.
"But sometimes October is also a dumping ground for films that just couldn't make it at any other time," he said.
Knockaround Guys, which stars Burry Pepper and Vin
Diesel, has been finished for two and a half years. The Transporter was shifted to its current release date from Sept. 13.
The remaining weekends of October are similarly crowded with small-release films, including The Grey Zone, about Jewish workers in a Nazi crematorium; Auto Focus, about the sex tapes and murder of Hogan's Heroes star Bob Crane; and Frida, starring Salma Hayek as Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.
Other factors that make October a prime release time; its proximity to September's Toronto Film Festival, the fact that college-age art-house filmgoers have settled into the new school year, and distance from this year's holiday-season debuts of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.
Also this month, Lions Gate Films widens its release of Secretary, a love story involving sadomasochism.
