Johnny Depp's THE LIBERTINE scheduled to open in 800 North American theaters on March 10th!

Box Office Mojo now lists THE LIBERTINE, starring Johnny Depp as the notorious Earl of Rochester, opening in 800 theaters across North America on March 10th. That’s wonderful news–THE LIBERTINE will finally have a chance to reach a wider audience. Thanks to Shadow and sleepy who posted theater information on the Zone’s News & Views forum. We think the release will happen this time (unlike the abortive January 13th date), since Weinstein Company is promoting THE LIBERTINE with nationwide television ads. A new print ad campaign has also appeared, with large ads in the New York Times and Los Angeles Times, touting the Earl as “Rebel. Liar. Genius. Seducer. Desired. Saviour.” and featuring a quote from Peter Travers in ROLLING STONE: “Johnny Depp is a wonder. A one-of-a-kind spellbinder that’s not afraid to shock.” Thanks to all the Zoners who have reported sightings of the television promos and new print ads, or bookings in their local theaters. And thanks to everyone who contacted the Weinstein Company in January, by whatever means, to urge THE LIBERTINE’s release. Your voices were heard.
