And yet another update:

This wasn’t on the Earth House Collective’s site as of last Thursday, but they will be showing the film Crude: The Real Price of Oil (by documentarian Joe Berlinger, co-director of Brothers’ Keeper and Metallica: Some Kind of Monster) on Thursday, December 3, at 7 PM. The film is about a massive lawsuit against Chevron/Texaco; at issue is environmental and health damages caused to residents of rural Ecuador. The Earth House is at 237 N. East St. in Indianapolis

And as to why we got Boondock Saints II…. it made a fair amount of money, per theater, in its opening week ($8,000 per screen or so); and while it didn’t do quite as well on a per-screen basis when it hit its second round of theaters, it made enough money for the distributor (Minneapolis-based Apparition- the same folks who are distributing Bright Star and Black Dynamite in the US; they must like titles that start w/ “B”) to expand it even further.

I don’t know what to say about Skin- the title isn’t on Variety’s domestic boxoffice chart for the past week, and it isn’t on Boxofficemojo at all, AFAIK. So maybe the distributor isn’t reporting results? That isn’t a good sign, usually- but, then again, the film’s official site does seem to indicate that it will be playing in cities like Columbus and Denver through January. If it does well in those cities, it has a chance of making it here, I guess.

Sorry to give a non-answer answer, but I can’t say one way or the other as of now. I would guess that it won’t make it here, if I had to guess- but I hope that I’m wrong.

Of all the limited release films we could have gotten, why did it have to be Boondock Saints II, a film that is receiving truly awful reviews?!

Mike, a friend of a friend was asking if Skin is likely to play Indy. What do you think?
