I received quite a few e-mails from readers asking when they'll get a chance to see Adam Green's chiller Frozen in a theater near them. The answer? I dunno. Well, at least until now. Apparently, Anchor Bay is claiming they'll program the film in any theater that requests it, which means it's once again up to you to tell your theaters you want it (why do we always have to do all the work?). Below you can read the offiical release sent to us with information on how YOU can demand it.
Writer/Director Adam Green writes in:
"Thanks to everyone who supported FROZEN this past weekend. The reviews and reactions are beyond anything we could have hoped for and despite the blizzards and the Super Bowl- you guys still made it out to the theater to support something original. However, many of you did NOT get FROZEN in your favorite theater on it's opening weekend due to it's small and limited release.
Now you can change that!
In response to how amazing the early reactions and glowing reviews have been for FROZEN, Anchor Bay has now agreed to send a print of the film to any theater that requests it. The power is in YOUR hands to get FROZEN playing at a theater near you! All you have to do is speak to your theater's manager and make sure that he/she knows how much you want FROZEN playing in your favorite theater. All they need to do is request a print from Anchor Bay- and you'll be on your way to getting FROZEN. Have your theater contact "frozen@starz.com" to make the request.
Remember, the theater manager needs to make the request from Anchor Bay. If you want to write in to that email address and tell Anchor Bay that you want FROZEN, tell them what you think of their limited release strategy, or tell them why the world needs more original genre films supported in theaters- by all means- be my guest. But that won't get a print shipped to your theater. It is the theater manager that can get the print for you. Don't take NO for an answer from your theater! Did they tell you there is no room on their screens because this week's remake is taking up all of them? Don't stand for that! Tell them how you feel and make sure that they contact Anchor Bay Films for their own print of FROZEN. Don't be passive and give up. We're onto something here and it is WORKING! You complain that these original genre films always get damned to unsupported limited releases and all you get is remakes each week... well here's our chance to change the tide. Let your theaters hear your voices! Let Anchor Bay know you want this and appreciate original genre films!
The time is now. Get FROZEN in your theater! Your voices have already has made a huge difference. Keep it up and let's get this film everywhere."

wait how do i tell movie theater manager? in person? i thought theres a website on every movie theater and u can contact the manager from there? |
Why doesn't Anchor Bay ever advertise their films though? Don't they make enough money from Evil Dead, Halloween, and Hatchet? |
It already is, the theatre less than 5 mins from me is playing it. |
I just sent an e-mail to my theater owner. Hope it works! |
Not another Paranormal Activity style marketing campaign. Why can't they just release it wide to begin with. They'll soon find out if people are interested or not. It's been getting rave reviews and word of mouth is usually the best form of promotion. |
they cant release it wide because its not on a huge budget like mainstream movies are, its called independent. duhhhh |
geez i should prob call my movie theatre. all that they have showing is two movies. wolfman and stupid valentines day.......i thought that it was released nationwide? ive been seeing a few prewiews on tv here and there for it. |
Oh, do it yourselves Anchor Bay (thats what pisses me off w/ this company... they need to get mainstream already!!!)
I doubt that just talking to the manager that doesn't know shit will help. |
Anchor Bay- are you not paying people to do this exact thing? Did you lay them off to save a few cents and now you want us to do their jobs? No. Fuck your advertising campaigns. You get the movie in a theater, we will give you money to see it. We shouldn't have to work to get a movie you've spent loads of time and money on in a theater- WHERE IT BELONGS. |
