Lionsgate has opened a floodgate to send "north of 130,000" screeners of its critically acclaimed Crash to members of the film industry, including all 110,000 members of the Screen Actors Guild and 13,000 members of the Writers Guild in advance of key awards voting, Daily Variety reported today (Thursday). In addition, it will send out the usual number of screeners to voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, the British Academy of Film & TV Arts, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Lionsgate President Tom Ortenberg told the trade publication that his company is unable to invite members of those groups to theaters to see the film because it is no longer playing. Moreover, there is little fear about piracy issues since the movie is already out on DVD.
