Author Topic: Memorable film(s) released on Nov. 14th...

As I remember, it was highly acclaimed but not that big a hit. Or maybe it didn't do well in the "hinterlands?" Anyway, it's one of those movies I'd like to see but it's really not my favorite kind of movie so I'll probably never get around to it. Maybe we should do a special showing and promote "First time on the Roxy screen." We could probably get some publicity out of why it never played before. Hmmmm.  |  IP: Logged Kenneth Wuepper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1026 From: Saginaw, MI, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-14-2011 12:37 PM                     Perhaps this was interpreted as another "boxing flick" in the mode of the "Rocky" films.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 11-14-2011 03:01 PM                     It was a platform release when it opened on Nov. 14th. 1980 in four theatres. In Westwood (UCLA)area of Los Angeles it played very well in that location. I saw it at the Regent Theatre afew days after it opened, in Hollywood it played the Hollywood Pacific Theatre.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
