Rent movie
2 Answers
I was supposed to be going to see Rent at the cinema this evening, but apparently it's not on at any cinemas within 40 miles of Birmingham. It's only been out 2 weeks so why has it been pulled from cinemas already?

Another possibility was that it was a deliberately small release. This means that the film is reviewed in the nationals and on film shows, so the great unwashed have heard of it when it turns up on DVD, but doesn't cost a lot in terms of distribution and prints.
