Just this morning we got a bit of a shock when it was announced Jean-Marc Vallee's Demolition starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Naomi Watts would be opening the 2015 Toronto Film Festival. Of course, a month or so ago it wouldn't have been a surprise, but then Fox Searchlight announced the film wouldn't be hitting theaters until April 8, 2016. As I speculated in my TIFF lineup piece, these could mean they've reconsidered that date and done so for a variety of reasons. Perhaps they are planning on gauging the reception at Toronto to see if it's worth opening this year in hopes of Oscars. Or it could have had something to do with the tepid response to the release of Southpaw, which was previously assumed to be where Gyllenhaal could get a nomination. He's good in the movie, but the film has landed with something of a thud and a nomination for Jake is unlikely.
