AJ Schnack is talking up The Cove not being included (so far) in the Tokyo Film Fest lineup. The fest is funded by the Japanese government and is it so surprising they wouldn’t want the movie shown? There is some disagreement on it, however, and no one at the Tokyo Fest is every going to admit that they’d were given orders not to include the film. But what’s kind of funny is how the supposed theme of the thing is “green.”
Meanwhile, Schnack reports that, unfortunately, The Cove is not doing well box-office-wise, “slipping 40% from the previous week and now down to 29 theaters and total box office of $537K.” This is perhaps because it is a subject that is very difficult to digest, so to speak. In tough times, audiences seek happier films, that sort of thing. Awards attention, that’s what this film needs.
