I would have said something similar, Magda. Anyone looking for something actually about Tesla won't like TCW at all! He was a bit of an oddball, but playing up his eccentricities as something like comic relief did make me grimace a bit, and I'm not on the bandwagon that seems to have taken up Tesla promotion as some sort of cause.
And as far as the Weinstein films are concerned, Mary Magdalene v TCW, can't say I think either of them are screamingly obvious audience winners. I don't think TCW has the potential that TIG did, and if there isn't Oscar potential there to boost interest in it, I don't have too much confidence in its likely box office. I haven't been back to see what awfulness the Awardswatch people are saying about it now, if anything. Have there been any more test screenings?

The movie is the kind of movie that attracts the so-called "older audience" when they receive good reviews. The same happened with TIG, Spielberg's movies and other Weinstein's Oscar movies. That's they selling point: good reviews published in big cities newspapers. That's what this movie needs.

It means he is behind it and explains why we haven't seen too much about Mary Magdalene. The question is if TCW took its place then MM would be released in December or when? Jason Osiason doesn't mentioned it! (By the way, at least one art cinema house in NY has already TCW announced as opening on November 24!)
I'm not sure about wanting to hear the opinions of all those award pundits in the next months, tho.!

I just looked up TCW on the Cineplex website, and it's giving January 5 for the opening in Canada. It doesn't give any other information. Mary Magdalene doesn't come up at all.
While I was at it, I found that Hamlet is returning March 1, 2018!

The August 18 issue of Entertainment Weekly is online, and it confirms that The Current War comes out November 24. It's their Fall Movie Preview issue, but they only have a small mention of TCW, while featuring some other movies in detail. I'm going to take that as a sign that they'll devote more space to it as we get closer to the opening date!
The only other movie coming out that day is Call me by your Name. Coming out two days earlier, on November 22, are Coco, Darkest Hour, Death Wish, and Molly's Game.

The Tracking Board published an article a little over a week ago about the sad state of affairs at the Weinstein Company. They have been in dire financial straits for a long time and it's just getting worse. I read somewhere that they might not even have enough money to give Wind River a wide release. The article says that The Current War and Mary Magdalene are their two big awards season movies, but that they probably only have enough money to promote and distribute one of them substantially. They were wondering which movie would be the chosen one. It sounds like it's The Current War. www.tracking-board.com/the-weinstein-companys-struggles-continue-but-is-there-a-way-out/
