I want to say that the title 'Miss Sloane' didn't do this film any favors. What reason does anyone who hasn't heard of the film otherwise have to be interested in some lady named 'Sloane?' Compare to 'The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo." THAT title piques some interest, much more than if they'd named it 'Miss Salander.'
Good reviews, look forward to snagging a disk of this....

I misread that as Miss Salamander. Ha. I agree it's a bad title. What would have been a better title? I'm thinking they didn't want it sounding political and hurting sales.
shareIt's actually an even worse title than you say.
The poster reads like SLOANE -- only later did I realize there was a tiny "Miss" to the left at a right angle.
Here's something to think about:
In the Post-Netflix era, all content is equal.
There are no channels or studios.
I can't often tell if a title is a movie or TV.
On your Roku or Apple TV, all you get are rows of boxes, none very big, each with a title and usually a single image.
A box with SLOANE and a picture of a redhead ... that appeals to whom, exactly?
Not me -- and I'm *exactly* the kind of person this picture was made for.
The title and poster give me nothing that says this is a "serious" end-of-year movie made for intelligent adults.
Do movie studios know we're actually seventeen years into the 21st century?
True ... but if they called it gun control propaganda movie it would not have been better.
But I do have to say that "The Girl ...." movies were so well done that they could have
called them just about anything and people would have liked them.
I always thought it was an elegantly simple title.
