A possible problem: Searchlight is taking the film out of 225 theaters today, lowering the total to 1910 from the 2135-2145 that had been the case during its first two weeks.
Reviews continue to bifurcate between raves/qualified raves/positive with minor concerns in the big/small cities and more seriously mixed assessments in the "national"/Internet-based publications (most notably New Yorker, Atlantic, Slant--though rogerebert.com, where Morgan worked for a time, gave the film four stars). It definitely appears that Searchlight is still trying to churn more press wherever it can.
The NOIR CITY e-zine entered the picture in its just-released "issue 33," with a "carny noir" feature, an interview with Del Toro/Morgan, and a review from Eddie--materials that will get covered in a separate thread.
