Put On a Happy Smiley Face!

Greg Araki's Smiley Face, the Sundance stoner comedy starring Anna Faris, has been in release hell ever since. It was announced two months ago that it would be a direct-to-DVD release in January, but tonight, in my weekly e-mail from Box Office Mojo about the theatre counts of films, well...

NEW
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (Fox) / 3,164
Beowulf (Paramount) / 3,153
Love in the Time of Cholera (New Line) / 852
Southland Tales (Samuel Goldwyn) / 63
Redacted (Magnolia) / 13
Margot at the Wedding (Paramount Vantage) / 2
Smiley Face (First Look) / 1

I didn't see that last part coming. I don't know where that ONE theatre is that's playing (probably in NYC), but at least it's getting a release, albeit mega-mega-MEGA-limited. You're welcome, JA!

*Also, I'm really surprised Magorium's has a wider release than Beowulf. Doesn't quite make sense, does it?*
