Well, at least two, anyway. Sources tell me there will be no press screenings for The Eye — no surprise there, since it is yet another American remake of an Asian horror film and yet another Jessica Alba movie and yet another film distributed by Lionsgate — while Kyle Smith reports that there will also be no press screenings for Strange Wilderness, which again is no surprise because, like the similarly non-screened Grandma’s Boy (2006) and The Benchwarmers (2006), it is an Adam Sandler-produced film that does not star Adam Sandler. Both films open this Friday — as does Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, which is being distributed by Disney, at least in the United States, but for all I know might not have any press screenings either.
FEB 1 UPDATE: It looks like Hannah Montana was screened for at least a few people — the film opens later today (it is currently 2:45am), and there are eight reviews linked at Rotten Tomatoes already, whereas there are still no reviews linked there for The Eye or Strange Wilderness. However, Hannah Montana isn’t even opening in Vancouver, whereas the other two films are.
