I’m with you drk choco..it didnt come to where i live either and I was so looking forward to seeing this movie only to be really ticked off when it didnt come to where i live…grrrr…and if it made 1.8 mil at 18 theatres..imagine what it could’ve made had they released the movie nationwide. I hope the opening numbers gives them an incentive to release this movie nationwide so ALL of us are able to see it and dont have to wait for it to come out on dvd.
im so mad that this movie didnt come here i so wanted to see it
