The makers of the movie decided to release it in only a few theaters

[{"selector":"#anim-7e18f3e7-9122-4a07-ad64-a76abedf8141","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-692b60c4-e6ff-4ed6-9b58-df5e0269e7d1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.70512%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

because the movie's success depends on the story being good, not on having famous actors.
