Opening after Scream 4?
The Weinstein Company is playing the ârelease date shuffleâ with Apollo 18, the film they cooked up a poster for just as cameras were rolling on Gonzalo Lopez-Gallegoâs found footage feature.
Instead of a March debut, the film is opening on April 22, a week after another Weinstein film â Scream 4. Not sure what strategy the Weinsteins are playing with this one. Are they presuming the fourth Scream wonât have legs? Or do they have confidence the sequel will play strong its second weekend with Apollo 18 opening?
Or perhaps they just want to dominate AprilâŚ
Apollo 18 will shoot in a âfound footageâ documentary style and pretend to unearth lost footage from Apollo 18âs undocumented and covert mission to the moon, revealing disturbing new evidence of other life forms.
