They have put a lot of support behind this movie and have been great to work with. Should be pretty fun with the premiere tomorrow.

There are two theaters in Texas that will be showing it. ipic in Houston and ipic Fairview, north of Dallas. It's also playing in NYC and LA.

Congrats to your wife. This thread has been a lot of fun. Will you be at the premiere?

How common is it for a Netflix movie to have a theatre run?

They're trying to get Dolly an Oscar nomination, no?

You can win an Oscar from a Netflix movie, no?

I believe it has to have at least 1 showing in a theater to be eligible for an Oscar but I am not positive on that.

As long as it meets the requirements of having a public premiere (which appears to be happening) and playing in a Los Angeles area theater for a week, yes.

Jennifer Aniston on Ellen talking about Dumplin'! How incredibly cool for your wife and you. Congrats!

Yes I will be at the premiere tonight. The movie has to play at a theater in LA County for at least a week to qualify for the award shows. In fact a few hours ago, Dolly/Dumplin received a Golden Globe nomination in the original song motion picture category for"Girl in the Movies".

I bet the Oscars go down to Jason Isbell w/Cooper and Gaga versus Dolly.

have you seen a big spike in book purchases?

I know a friend of mine heard the new Dolly and said she planned on buying and looking at more books by the author.

Typically unless you make the NY Times list, its hard to tell until you get like a mid year statement. I mean I hope people buy a lot of books.

Quite a few big-name celebs at the premiere. Been seeing pics in my Twitter feed. Looks like an awesome time. Have fun!

He said it's gonna be on Netflix tomorrow. That was quick!

Edit: Oh, so it's a Netflix movie. Not sure how I missed that. Thought it was going to be in theaters a few weeks and go to Netflix at some point later.
oh no

My M-I-L texted me yesterday asking for my NetFlix login and how to use NetFlix specifically because she wanted to watch this movie. A street level indicator that this indeed is going to be big.

lol I didn't ask him about it. He was however a genuinely nice person. He was very supportive of the film and my wife.

Apparently they aren't even pushing Isbell's song.

I think "Shallows" will probably win, even though it's honestly not a great song.

Just got out of the theater. This is not my cup of tea, but I really enjoyed the movie! My GF absolutely loved the movie, cried a few times, and will be getting the book for Christmas.

Complaint: hook'em?!? Really!!!?! Haha

So...are we going to see a review of premiere night? Did your wife (and you) walk the red carpet? What about the after party? We need some deets on hobnobbing with the Hollywood folk!

So listen, I actually campaigned really hard to have it changed and was shut down by everyone. Something about reshoots and it being too expensive

The family really loved it.

Was I the only one expecting The Dan Band to perform a number?
