Looking back, it’s crazy that Searchlight originally planned to release POOR THINGS on Sept 8, a date that practically screams “we don’t expect this to be an awards movie”

@kylebuchanan A release date which was only delayed due to the strikes.
@kylebuchanan I think it was more of a placeholder similar to what they did with George Miller's 3000 Years of Longing and they never actually intended to release POOR THINGS on that date if it was any good. November / December was always the plan if quality.
@kylebuchanan I don’t think they were going to keep that date even if the strikes never happened.
