I won’t be seeing any time in the near future. They still haven’t scheduled to show it anywhere. And I’m a bit worried that they’ve removed the image of the “Director’s Cut” poster and replaced it with the original poster.

The Current War got a little mention on our local tv morning show, which was kind of exciting. They were listing the new movies that opened over the weekend, but they didn’t say anything else about them. They just focused on the top three at the box office.

It lost more than half theatres. It never had a chance.

It lost out on all the money I would have spent seeing it several times, and dragging my friends to see it.

They probably decided to cut the losses. It never picked up. I think here it will not be released.

I saw it again last night, and took my son along. The theater was about half full. It's still showing next week here in St. Louis, and one theater has 4 showings a day.
Whatever possessed them to spend $30M making it? TIG cost half that.

TIG was financed by a small then relatively new indie studio then later it was bought by the Weinstein.
This one was produced by the Weinstein themselves and by a Russian guy who kind of loves huge explosive films. They were ambitious about it and had big hope but then all that ugly stuff happened and the movie was damned.
The admirable (or dumb?) thing was that Bekmambetow actually spend even more money than that trying to achieve the vision of a young up and coming director even when the movie was since TIFF a lost cause. Maybe he has made movies like Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter but he seems the kind of producer that stands by his directors. You know, the opposite of Weinstein!

Ha! They’re still trying to make The Current War about Tesla, when it was about Edison and Westinghouse.
