I'm not defending the movie but you don't know what you're talking about. There's tons of good movies that get released this way these days. It's a small movie and that's how they do it most of the time. Anyone that follows movies knows this.
They don't always get wide releases, in fact most of them don't. I do know what I'm talking about, as I'm dealing with distribution right now for a small Indie film and have been for the past 6 months.

Movies that get limited release are usually shit or they're just doing the limited release so that they can qualify for festivals and awards season.

This will have it's limited release and then you'll catch it on Netflix or at the Redbox or as an iTunes rental (where this one is doing ok).

LOVELACE is not something people are going to line up to see. You might see a wider limited release, but I doubt even that. The numbers sucked.

So please, feel free to tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about...again.

Shawshank did have a limited release and then had a wide release. No sure where you get this from, but you're wrong.
