I'm in Chicago and even today I have no information on showtime or US release dates. Any clue?

From another board on Sun Nov 27 2016:

Per Indiewire:

What comes next: A small expansion in Los Angeles this Friday (to reach awards voters), then Top Ten markets the following week before an initial expansion to around 600 theaters over Christmas.

The following is the full article describing other films with a similar trickle down theater opening approach.

So maybe this will be the top 10 market weekend. I am in Houston and I suspect we will not be one of them. Just have to wait and see.

normally with movies like lion with limited release it gets nationwide release around awards season. And since Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman score both sag and glove nom it might be out everywhere. I can see Oscar nomination in their future.

It's in about 500 theaters now.
