Thanks to Kevin McCandless, who pointed me at the Cineworld page for Damsels in Distress which shows a release date for the movie in the UK. This prompted me to head to IMDb which now lists several:
- New Zealand — 29 March 2012
- USA — 6 April 2012
- New Zealand — 26 April 2012
- Ireland — 27 April 2012
- UK — 27 April 2012
- Sweden — 11 May 2012
- Belgium — 30 May 2012
- Netherlands — 31 May 2012
I had no idea it was already released anywhere (New Zealand) or that it was out this coming weekend in the US. Nearly there!
Incidentally, the fact Damsels is listed on Cineworld’s site leads me to hope it’s going to have quite a wide release, including mainstream cinemas, rather than only in arthouses. Has anyone seen any information about how wide a release it’s about to have in the US?
It’s not actually released in New Zealand as such. It’s playing in a small film festival that began on the 29th; its first screening is this evening (the 3rd).
It looks like the Landmark Theatre chain is involved with the U.S. release… so Americans outside of New York/L.A. may want to check out its website to see if anything’s listed in their area. For instance, Damsels will apparently be playing on a 2 screen theater owned by Landmark here in Seattle on Friday, April 27th.
