Contested deletion edit

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... the "copyrighted material" is a plot synopsis, and I can't give an alternative synopsis as I haven't seen the currently unreleased film. --poketape 04:15, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Disabled merge template. It's an uncontroversial merge, but there's not much to merge anyway. I redirected the draft to the main article. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 21:53, 18 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Sleeper hit edit

Is there a source for the claim that it was a sleeper hit? 2603:6010:11F0:3C0:E5EB:2D82:9D70:6588 (talk) 01:59, 6 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

There rarely is. Give a few weeks and editors will probably be adding "cult classic" or "neo noir" or some other overused buzzwords that don't apply. I removed the term sleeper hit before I saw your comment, but unless a reliable secondary source says it first it shouldn't be in the lead section. Looks more like a regular old hit at the box office, nothing sleeper about it. Less and less films open small and then gradually go wide, the term sleeper hit almost never applies, film distributions just doesn't work that way anymore. -- 109.79.75.129 (talk) 01:15, 15 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
