I guess we will see "sometime later this year," if Doremus is right or if the trades who reported the deal with DirectTV are right. My money is on the trades. In any case, it\’s another $16 million film that will never see a dime of profit, just like Stewart\’s other indies: Sils Maris, Camp X Ray, Anesthesia, Welcome to the Rileys, The Runaways. She has a history of being unable to attract an audience for her indies. Even Lionsgate\’s American Ultra bombed, despite a big promo campaign.

@DEARKSTAN – the director was asked by a fan on twitter if the film would go directly to tv first and drake responded saying that it would be in theatres first:- Drake Doremus ‏@drakedoremus 16 Oct 2015
No. #EQUALS will most certainly be in THEATERS first:)

So another film tailored to Kristen Stewart\’s emotional constipation. Hooray. Too bad we can bet film reviewers will praise her like she\’s doing something \’very difficult and far removed from how she always is\’ and won\’t admit that she\’s just doing the same old tired crap in a different setting. And no, the director didn\’t say anything. You mean the producer, but he\’s misinformed. It\’s going straight to DirectTV for a month before it can appear in any theater, that\’s the deal that was spelled out in the trades at the time. Look it up.

The director said it would hit theaters first which these deals do sometimes do. Don\’t lose sleep over it.

This looks truly dreadful.

Actually, under the terms of the deal that A24 has with Direct TV for the films it acquires jointly, it will be hitting Direct TV for a 30 day run BEFORE theaters Other films that have been distributed under this deal – such as Charlize Theron\’s Dark Places or Jake Gyllenhaal\’s Enemy – have basically gotten about a week or two in a few theaters after the Direct run

The best this wannbe perfume ad can hope for is a week in LA and NY at the same time it hits DirectTV. It won\’t see wide distribution and with such bad reviews, I doubt it will even make it into the art houses. It\’s snooze-worthy, so boring. @Maria\’s comment is amusing. Stewart\’s fans are so desperate to see Nic Hoult show any kind of interest in her. Too bad he passed on joining her PR scheme. She\’s been playing for the other team for a couple of years now.

It\’d be interesting if someone ever argued the other side of the emotions = good argument.

Sorry for the typos above – should have read – As was reported by Variety and Indiewire on oct 16 2015 "the deal for the film was made with DirectTV, which will first debut the picture, before it opens in select theaters." None of the other films that have been acquired under this partnership have seen much in the way of theatrical distribution.

Your story neglect to mention that A24 acquired Equals jointly with Direct TV, and as was reported by The deal for the film was made with DirectTV, which will first debut the picture, before it opens in select theaters via its distribution pact with indie label A24.

Awesome trailer. Kristen and Nicholas both rocked showing emotion when needed and pocket fave when no emotion required. They are such a cute romantic couple onscreen and a cute pal couple off screen (not referring to friends with benefit). I hope I\’ll get to see this film in theaters soon.

Kristen Stewart is a huge turn off, I don\’t know how she gets cast in anything, she can\’t attract an audience to save her life. Equals looks like a retread of Equilibrium, with a repellent actress in the lead. Skip it.
