This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Go see it.

Disney is scared shitless that people are going to see this.

Disney isn't scared of shit. Between Marvel Studios, Star Wars, and their live action remakes, Disney be like:

Why would they be scared of this?

It's a truly great film.

Word on the street was that Disney was concerned about acquiring a movie about Nazi's and a boy who talks to Hitler and considered shelving it or selling it off

Speaking of which,  Matt Clement is just about to take the Katella exit ramp.

Meanwhile, Disney is expanding the distribution of this film and entered it in the TIFF where it won the audience award. That's a far cry from shelving it, no?

The movie will get some recognition during awards season.

I am a huge Taika Waititi fan (we named our Husky Taika).  Looking forward to watching this movie.

Also, Taika Waititi is a New Zealand Polynesian Jew.  Can't imagine there are many of those.

Edit: lol, there really aren't many

They aren't shelving it.  But they aren't really advertising it either.  If Sully didn't bring it up, I wouldn't have known this film existed, and probably wouldn't have even bothered with it.  And it's not like I don't see my share of different genre movies at the theater with various previews.  Heck, I don't even think I've seen a billboard for it, outside or in the theater.  

This definitely seems like a word of mouth or nothing type film.  

Here is how odd this film is being put out.  It's been out for a few weeks, but rottentomatoes lists it's in theaters november 8th, so hopefully it's going wide because of the good word of mouth?  Actually, looking at IMDB, it's out in 256 theaters.  It's like Disney doesn't want a parody of Walts childhood to come out.

I don't think any of this shows that Disney is trying to hide this film at all.

This film was never going to be released any other way, y'all. There is truly nothing odd about how this film is being put out.

It's not Endgame, guys.

[Sully151]

It’s a perfect Disney movie.

its a story of love, acceptance, and resistance. 

A young boy, a young girl, a loving mother, an evil empire, and an imaginary friend. Sure, the imaginary friend is Hitler, but it’s no worse than Will Smith as a live action Genie.

honestly, it’s funny, touching and heartbreaking.

It’s close to a perfect movie.

[RallyMo]

It really is a very, very good film. It could have gone sideways easily, but I think it was well done.

[cysomeawfulpitcher]

It’s PG13 and not R so Disney is giving it a pass.  However, if they get rid of Searchlight, they’re dead to me.

Have no interest in the movie, though, since it’s been compared to Wes “pan up pan down French song end” Anderson and stars the most overrated actress alive.  I’m no philistine but screw hipster trope heavy movies.

Any updates on Disney's efforts to bury this film that's now been nominated for 6 Oscars including Best Picture and has thus far earned 5x its production budget?

That's impressive when the budget is $100M.  

[Blarg]

Practically an Inde budget.

[Lou]

It has grossed $28M in the US.
