Ebert's cheetahs: racing Duma

Roger Ebert reports that Duma gets one more last chance in Chicago, as it's held over for a third week. "Why penguins and not cheetahs?" [Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution Dan] Fellman asked me a week ago. The studio found that audence exit surveys showed adults liked [Duma] even more than children (for whom its strong narrative might seem slow compared to the nonstop noise and action of video games." [While previewed for reviewers in 35mm, the 5 Chicago-area theaters where the movie is held over are showing Duma only in digital projection.]
