Since 2009, Not Coming to a Theater Near You has put on public screenings of select films at 92YTribeca in New York City.[3]Stills, an offshoot of the site featuring a different still image from a film every day, was also launched in 2009.


In 2010, Film Comment, the Film Society of Lincoln Center's official journal, counted Not Coming to a Theater Near You as being among the top film criticism sites (alongside Moving Image Source, indieWIRE, Ain't It Cool News, and others), calling it "an ambitious online resource for reevaluations of forgotten and fringe cinema."[4] David Hudson, writing for Mubi's The Auteurs Daily, included the site on a similar best-of list.[5]


On May 14th, 2014, Not Coming to a Theater Near You ceased publication.
