Did You Know?
| Trivia | Although this Canadian movie got a theatrical release in Canada much wider than the typical Canadian movie, for some reason its distributor, Elevation Pictures, decided not to give the movie a substantial marketing budget. As a result, the movie did poorly at the box office, and was pulled from most theaters at the end of its third week or release. See more » |
