Johnny Depp’s French Movie Was Not ‘Pulled’ from Theaters, Had Limited Run

Johnny Depp‘s new film has been accused of being a stinker when it comes to getting asses in seats — and a few have even claimed it is getting yanked due to that … but it surely’s BS.

This is the deal … there are social media posts floating round that counsel Johnny’s movie, “Jeanne du Barry,” has been getting pulled from theaters right here within the States — notably, ones within the Los Angeles space — and the implication is that it is attributable to low ticket gross sales.

These tweets which are claiming JD’s film is grossly underperforming are attaching purported screenshots of empty theaters … with solely a seat or two crammed for one-off showings final week.

Because it seems … some shops have even ran with it as gospel — however TMZ has gotten to the underside of it … and we have discovered issues will not be what they appear on-line. What else is new?

Sources with direct information inform us “Jeanne du Barry” was at all times scheduled for a restricted theater run right here in SoCal — a partnership with Fathom Occasions, which teamed up with the American distributors for ‘JDB’ to launch the film in a handful of cinemas round city.

Actually, this was introduced some time in the past … again in March, Fathom mentioned they’d be doing a mini run of screenings of the movie — which was solely going to be from Could 2 to Could 6.

Now, as for the way the film truly carried out throughout this window — it varies a bit. There are people saying they’d been to showings of ‘Jeanne’ that had been full of individuals … whereas others say they’d been to barely emptier theaters. In any case, it wasn’t launched large.

Keep in mind, this film is an indie flick that is utterly in French — so it is not a blockbuster by any means … and was by no means meant to be a ticket-sale machine. It is a ardour challenge of kinds … and one among JD’s first forays again into movie after scoring a W in his defamation case.
