Clint Eastwood's 'Juror #2' is now confirmed to end its theatrical run this Thursday after just one week in theaters. It’s supposed to hit VOD by the end of the month. Despite the vocal backlash, Warner Bros couldn’t care less, and they’ve decided one week was enough for this film in theaters.

I'm subscribed to movie communities (like this one) and this is the first I'm hearing of this movie as well.

But not sure if I'd like the prospect of a studio "reaching" me here, when that probably means that they're spamming up feeds with ads disguised as content. It's easier to do that than the alternative of making good/interesting films people want to talk about.

I think they just didn't advertise it.
Eastwood movies fell off awhile ago, unfortunately. He's pretty far from the days of Gran Tureno and the boxing movie.

No one is "reaching" us here, don't worry. There's no need to be paranoid.

That is an extremely naive take. All it takes is one person to notice the verse or it to get a little bigger. The work required to get the reddit bot nets to also invade here would be tiny.

Plus by its very nature the verse is basically defenseless. It's the definition of security through obscurity.

I wouldn't say paranoid, more that it's how that works on larger communities like Reddit. When there's an audience, the companies find creative ways to reach them, which is how astroturfing became a thing.

The tradeoff of being on a smaller site where that stuff doesn't happen just means it's harder for information to spread when there's no one who wants to post it. It's hard to find that goldilocks zone of a decently large community of people passionate about a hobby before it gets big enough to look profitable to someone
