I just want to see it already, it's such a bummer it's taken so long... I went to the set last summer and got to meet Anna, she was very kind.

Well that's two low-key (near) raves. (I also can't wait to just see it already!)

It is starting to look like this will go the route of the film version of The Fantasticks. It may sit on the shelf for several years before it suddenly and quietly turns up in a redbox near you.

Why do you say that?

I mean it's possible, but as one of the links mentioned studios can program it at almost any time during the year and Kendrick is a draw.

Plus, by the accounts linked it's a crowd pleaser whereas The Fantasticks was just an awful movie.

[Mr. Nowack]

Let's hope it didn't go the route of THE FANTASTICKS movie in terms of adaptation!

I do hope it's released some way soon. I love the score and both stars (although I do have reservations about the characters they play).

I just heard the film is being release Feb 14 2015. Article coming shortly.

Distributed by a Weinstein company....just prior to the opening of Finding Neverland on Broadway. This soap opera gets more interesting every day.

Jeremy Jordan + Weinstein Company = Finding Neverland at ART/Last 5 Years movie

[Sutton Ross]

It only took two years! This release will probably be pretty limited.

Radius is also distributing the Horns movie with Daniel Radcliffe... just fun fact.

[jpbran]

Well, this pretty much ensures it'll be an iTunes/VOD release with a minuscule theatrical release around the same time to generate alt-paper reviews, blog notice, etc. DVD/BD to likely follow 2-3 months later. (Will be shocked if it goes another way, which I guess it certainly could should Kendrick get a lot of notice for ITW.

Bachelorette and Snowpiercer were two of Radius' recent "big"ish movies that got released that way. Snowpiercer is a Chris Evans sci-fi movie that appeared on iTunes the same time as theaters and still did somewhat well.
