To Leslie, which grossed just $27,000 in its underwhelming theatrical run last fall, is returning to theaters due to Andrea Riseborough’s surprise Oscar nomination for her portrayal in the film.
It will be re-released according to “about six” locations in North America The Hollywood Reporter, and then in additional theaters in the UK. The British-born Birdman actor only started campaigning in earnest a few weeks ago, right before voting for the nominations began, unlike the leading Oscars contenders who generally promote their work months before awards season.
Riseborough was given a spot in this year’s nominee announcement yesterday thanks to word of mouth and social media posts from Hollywood celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Minnie Driver and Demi Moore.

Leslie’s recognition could be a win for understated films without significant awards. Still, the campaign has come under fire for allegedly interfering with Viola Davis and Danielle Deadwyler’s chances of being selected.
In the Michael Morris-directed film To Leslie, Riseborough plays a single mother from Texas who once won the lottery and is now trying to reconnect with her child.
Momentum Pictures, whose co-star Marc Maron criticized for their “gross incompetence” in playing the prize game, released the movie. (There’s a timeline in the infinite multiverse where Gwyneth Paltrow and Edward Norton teamed up to get Aubrey Plaza an Oscar nomination for Black Bear.)

Soon more people will have the chance to judge whether To Leslie is a small movie with a big heart on the big screen, even though The Hollywood Reporter doesn’t specify which theaters the movie will be re-released.
