Based on a memoir by Benjamin Mee, We Bought a Zoo stars Matt Damon as a single dad who moves his family to a dilapidated zoo. Scarlett Johansson, Thomas Haden Church, Elle Fanning, and Patrick Fugit also appear. More details after the jump.

However, in this case the studio was motivated by “exceptional responses across wide-ranging demographics” in test screenings to try and generate buzz in advance of the movie’s release.
