Looking at the list you linked though I'm not seeing a lot of small arthouse / indy movies listed, or am I reading it wrong?
Anything that's in bold is a major release. The rest are limiteds.

Most of the studios are releasing their films that week on Wednesday (Nov 22nd) because the 25th (Friday) is Thanksgiving.

I was hoping this would be a bigger release, and putting it out that week is going to possibly doom it.

There's so many smaller films being released around that time by the arthouse studios (Sony Classics, Fox Searchlight, Warner Independent, Picturehouse, etc) trying to build Oscar hype, that it's going to be hard to get any attention for a movie lacking a big budget advertising campaign.

Considering we can barely find any info about Nobel Son, there hasn't been an advertising campaign and it's three months before release. No website, no trailer, no poster, no screenings at film festivals. WTF?
