Aronofsky raised $20k of the budget by selling $100 shares to friends and family, promising profits—most never saw a dime.

I love A24 for bringing this to Imax. I hope they do other movies like this. Just to see some of these gems on the big screen would be amazing.

Ok, thank God. For a second there I thought you remade it. Thank you for not ruining a classic.
