I would like to say that I am considering being rather open minded towards headed to the theaters to see Equestria Girls. I am a solid Bring through and through, and giving this movie a chance is a Brony's duty and all... except for the fact only a small percentage if the United States can see this in theaters thanks to a horribly small theatrical release.
Despite the fact HASBRO has a full on set of merchandise ready to roll, including toys and maybe blind bags, lit including maybe a comic adapt eventually, and more... they're only releasing the movie in 200 theaters. 200. That is Spirited Away level poor theatrical release poor. And at 200 theaters? That is like 4 theaters per state... less for certain states if the biggest states get more than 4 theaters to screen it. What a disappointing turn of events. Yes the Brony community has not been the most enthusiastic about this, but with only 200 screens showing the movie odds are slim that you will be able to see this in theaters even if you wanted to be open minded about it. How disappointing.
Is the movie an ideal movie, given this is the 30th Anniversary of My Little Pony and the first Friendship is Magic movie? No. I think we could have had something better. A generational crossover, for instance. But this is the movie we were dealt, and sometimes we have to go to theater with the movie we are dealt like it or not.
Of late a bit more info has come to light, so as the days tick down I will go over the New stuff as we count down to the premiere of Equestria Girls... stay tuned.
