When Will "We" Get The Chance to See The "Great" Movies of 2010?

 I was just on Yahoo Movies looking at this weekend’s box office numbers and noticed a horrible trend.

TITLE:                                     # Of Theaters
Black Swan                                  90
127 Hours                                  416
The King's Speech                    19
The Fighter                                   4

In a year that is in desperate need of some great movies, these four films have recently been released to critical acclaim.  However if you look at the last column listed above, they are currently being shown in a combined 529 theaters across the country.  Considering the newest Chronicles of Narnia film is being shown in 3,555 theaters, The Fighter being viewed in only 4 is ridiculous.  What happened to wanting to show off your supposed great film?

Being a movie enthusiast, I’d really love the opportunity to view these films and others like them.  But unfortunately it appears that the movie companies are currently much more concerned with putting their film in just the right place for an Oscar run, rather than letting normal people like you and I actually watch the movie.  I guess until they deem us worthy of viewing their supposed masterpieces, I’ll just have to keep picking from the crap like Due Date & The Tourist.
