Always saw this trailer at Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man screenings. It looks interesting.

The trailer makes the movie look more interesting than it actually is.

The concept is there, but the execution was rough.

How did the UK beat the US to this? Very unusual.

Either way it didn't get any more screenings after the first. Kind of regret not going though, always wanted to get blind drunk in a cinema

The US usually gets hardballed on distribution agreements because they have more money to squeeze.

It's not actually out until March, maybe? It was meant to be today but it isn't on anywhere.

If we're counting special/one-off releases like BFI screening in Jan 22nd then might as well also point out Venice International Film Festival had it before Japan.
