Johnny Depp’s French Film Was Not ‘Pulled’ from Theaters, Had Restricted 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 because of low ticket gross sales.

These tweets which might be 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 retailers have even ran with it as gospel — however TMZ has gotten to the underside of it … and we have discovered issues aren’t what they appear on-line. What else is new?

Sources with direct information inform us “Jeanne du Barry” was all the time 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.

In actual fact, this was introduced some time in the past … again in March, Fathom stated 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 a way the film really carried out throughout this window — it varies a bit. There are of us saying they’d been to showings of ‘Jeanne’ that have been full of individuals … whereas others say they’d been to barely emptier theaters. In any case, it wasn’t launched broad.

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