Two changes with 20th Century Fox’s The Family Stone. One, they’ve decided to do a platform-release on 11.4 (i.e., the original opening date) in 800-plus theatres, and then go wide on 11.11. (The theatre tallies were wrong before…sorry.) Two, they’re cooking up a new one-sheet that will presumably try to sell what it actually is (a sharply-written family comedy with heart) as opposed to whatever that upraised wedding finger one-sheet conveys. Which is what exactly? Marriage sucks?…my husband sucks?…I’ve changed my mind? It’s catchy (I showed it a woman friend who’s out of the loop and she went, “Aha!”) but it has nothing to do with the film.
