Rent has had a very limited release, so I wouldn't expect anything big at the box office. Being a fan, and wanting to see this movie since I heard it was finally in production, I travelled to Teeside, which was closest to me that was showing it. It was great. Shame about the limited release.
I can't wait for the DVD. Hopefully it will be the two-disk special edition with all of the extras, like the one released in the US.
