The Day will be distributed in the US by WWE Studios, Inc. WWE Studios is a subsidiary of WWE, Inc. (Yes, that is World Wrestling Entertainment.) Here's the press release.
According to Variety, WWE Studios currently releases theatrically through Samuel Goldwyn and is also looking for film content for a new television network. There is, of course, no word on how distribution for The Day will actually play out. Edit: Variety reports that Splendid will distribute the film in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and all German-speaking Europe.
Reviews of The Day from TIFF are generally negative, with blame most consistently credited to the script. While reviews make neutral mention of his character, no review contained either positive or negative comments about Dom's performance specifically.
Reviews: Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Shock Till You Drop, Toronto Film Scene (positive), The Substream (most negative), Daily Film Dose, Screen Daily, Entertainment Maven. Edit: More: Fangoria (positive), Little White Lies blog.
