Third Window Films suspend theatrical releases

We often look towards Third Window Films to release some of the more innovative and otherwise interesting works of Asian live-action cinema - however, according to the distributor's latest Facebook update it seems that recent flops at the cinema has caused them to re-evaluate how they go about choosing and releasing titles in the future:

Due to the resounding opening weekend failure of Himizu (and that of Villain before it), we have decided to suspend all theatrical releasing of films. Unfortunately without being able to release films in cinemas we will not have the power to negotiate the release of any big films in the future, so will focus more on straight to DVD titles or occasional one-off's in cinemas. Unfortunately if there is no public for these films in the cinema, then there just isn't a large enough demand for them to be shown at all.

This is undoubtedly incredibly sad news, and we can only hope for a rosier outlook for the company and the kind of releases typical of their catalogue in the future.
