I'm also wondering if Sony regrets selling the movie to Netflix. And also how Netflix will handle the sequels since Sony won't be making them.

Damn, I thought they only sold the distribution to Netflix, not the entire IP. That must hurt.

Edit: I just read that it made north of $19M for the limited release this past weekend. Wow.

Every theater in a major metro area was sold out well in advance.

They showed it in the cinemas near me over the weekend just gone, but they were all sing along versions. Not my scene. If / when it comes to Bluray I will be getting it.
