Variety is reporting that Paramount Vantage is cutting the number of screens showing 'A Mighty Heart' in half to 650 this weekend in the hopes that a more limited release will generate much-needed word of mouth. While the biopic got great reviews with many critics calling the performance of Angelina Jolie as war widow Mariane Pearl Oscar-worthy, it has pulled in only $7.6 million after two weeks in wide release. After failing to cash in on Jolie's celebrity, the studio now hopes that a longer theatrical run in fewer theaters will boost the box office. Couple that with a fall DVD release and the thinking is that Jolie and company could figure in the year-end awards derby.
