This movie opened in theaters in this country on Friday, August 20, 2004 and this Wednesday will have its tenth anniversary. I remember very well when it came out, I was here in Charlotte, NC and was homeless and living out of a storage place, but went to a lot of movies in theaters, and definitely wanted to see this one. So on its opening day I went to my main theater for the noon showing of it. I then just stayed in there and saw two other movies, and then saw Open Water again after that, at its 7:00 showing. And I really liked it, thought it was exciting and sad, and I'll admit I also loved the great nude scene in it. I then ended up going back to this theater and saw it twice more on Saturday night, September 4, at the 7:00 and 9:00 showings (though this was not planned, someone gave me some money when they saw me going through a theater trash can). At this time I had no access to home video so could not see it like that, but in February, 2006 I went into a Blockbuster Video store and saw a used copy of Open Water for under ten dollars and decided to buy it because I wanted to give it the distinction of being the first thing I ever brought on DVD. I never got to watch it, but just kept it in my storage unit, and then in December, 2006 moved to Miami and got a storage unit there where I kept it. I then moved back to Charlotte in spring, 2008 and did not get another storage unit, but kept my bags in a wooded area where I slept. Then in July, 2009 they were all stolen one day while I was staying somewhere else, and thus I lost the DVD. I then got an apartment and a TV/DVD in September, 2010, and in October, 2010 went to another Blockbuster and rented several movies out on DVD to watch, and Open Water was one of them. I saw it once and still liked it a lot, and in March 2013 joined Netflix, and plan to rent it out from there this coming week to watch it for its tenth anniversary.
