I’m itching to go see House of Flying Daggers. I’ve heard great things about it, like it’s just as good or even better than Hero or even Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

But what the hell is up with its limited and gradual release schedule? Rather than releasing the movie nationally all at once, Sony Pictures seems to be using some kind of “tour” schedule where it opens in a few cities every week or so. What the hell is up with that?!?
