Elsa, looks like promo will be done in London.. Article today on Gerry’s Indian co-star Ali Fazal reveals a little info on PR event he has gone to London —👏👏 Quote- “Beginning later this month, the film will be shown in over 2,000 theatres across the United States. According to Fazal, Kandahar has everything needed for a full-fledged (something was lost translation Of this article Kandahar is not a “comedy” ??)He told Midday that this new development has him highly energised. Since the film is an action-spy thriller, he predicts that it will appeal to a wide demographic. Kandahar is the story of a covert CIA spy (Butler) who becomes stranded in Afghanistan. Ric Roman Waugh (Felon, Snitch) was the director. Fazal has gone to London to kick off the promotion, and then he'll continue the tour in Los Angeles.

Thanks for the info, but G is not going to travel for the promotion because he is busy to film, his co-star can do some promotion. If it will be a premiere or a special screen in NY or LA, he will be there. Plane had a special screen in London and no one from the cast was there, so it could be the same with Kandahar.

The biggest obstacle for Kandahar internationally is it doesn’t have a major distributor like Lionsgate had for Plane. Open Roads is distributor in the U.S. only and it is a small studio so getting the reported 2,000 theaters means Kandahar won’t reach the box office Plane did.. a extended holiday weekend will likely only open to 5-6 million tops. Hopefully, total domestic will provide a box office of at least 25 million. Internationally so far all releases look to be limited theater releases so box office will be no more than Plane.. India is a big plus though hopefully it will be a big hit there. I hate when there isn’t a big studio releasing Gerry’s films.

Even though Plane had a bigger distributor than Kandahar, the promotion will be very similar. Few special screenings and a premiere in US with online interviews, mostly for US, as usual.

Terrible news…well it looks like Gerry needs to stop doing movies involving politics.. this storyline is going to stir the same type of controversy that 300 did. What is bad that critic sounds like he maybe agreeing with those reviews.
Edited to note that a Mystery Movie is a bad idea.. if you don’t know what type of movie you are going to see you could get upset., if you like horror films or comedies response would not be positive.. I hope we get better comments after that big screening nationwide by AMC theaters, people attending know what they are going to see.

Unfortunately, it is looking like this film will be reviewed on its politics and racism.. this happen with 300 and London Has Fallen. Betting that the critic reviews will be negative., but I hope it makes money somewhere during its release.

Thanks, great screen photos.👍
I think the ‘action” scenes will be the key to its success..political themes will be its weak point unfortunately. I still can’t get over how fast Gods of Egypt tanked regarding casting controversy and the “300” political controversy over Iraq war had Gerry receiving death threats. Hoping Kandahar hits the right tone for audiences.. don’t want to see more of those awful comments from the Mystery Movie screening. They need more interviews out there explaining the storyline it is not a movie I think you can watch “cold”.

Looks like the original run time in the internet was wrong, the movie has a run time of 2 hours.
