Did I miss the part where this hasn't been happening for years and years and years?

They always open on the coasts. Usually they're doing it to sneak in before an awards cut off.

Nothing about this means that they're the only two places that will carry the movie. This isn't doom and gloom. Its standard practice.

Glad to see io9 is up to their usual high standards of reporting though ;)

@tande04: what does that mean? We're talking about that happening to a much beloved movie. We're not the only site that thinks this, it's a problem. If you except this as "just the way it is" then it will doom movies that need the special attention. Look at Searchlight for guidance. If we said, "oh well this is how it is everywhere" it would continue to be this way. It has to start somewhere. You're either part of the problem or the solution.

Don't get your undies in a knot. I work at a movie theater in Atlanta, and the movie is on our schedule for July 8, so the LA-NYC opening won't be its only release.

damnit...

despite digital projection not being quite good enough just yet - this is one thing that will make the change worth while...really cheap distribution costs = movies like this for far more people.
