Heath was a gift to all of us. Thank you Terry Gilliam for not letting his gift slip away from us.
There will never be another Heath Ledger with his talent and giving heart. I'm from Texas and i hope it does show up at a local theater but if it doesn't than i will buy it on DVD. RIP Heath!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry- I wouldn't say that it barely made a dent. While yes, the film opened in limited release- the fact that it made nearly $130k in only 4 theaters is still VERY impressive. That's an average of $31,186 per theater. Not shabby at all.

You have to remember, it took awhile for them to find someone to distribute it in the US, and they don't have anywhere near the budget of any of the big movies that opened. So really good word of mouth is everything.

I wanted to see this but it wasn't showing in my area, it was only open to selected theaters, I would have seen this if it had opened in a theatre near me!!!!! i think had it shown more through out the US it would have done better upon release. I am a huge Terry Gilliam fan and want to see this later this week.
