NO FRENCH THEATER RELEASE FOR THE BLIND SIDE

[10.50 - French Time] Read on Premiere.fr. The Blind side is a huge box office hit in the US and Sandra Bullock won an Academy award (Best Actress) but Warner Brothers will not release the football drama in French theaters.

Apparently, it's Football (as opposed to what is called Soccer in the US) which commercially prevents French audiences to watch the movie on a big screen, as this typical American sport sells not very well in local cinemas. The film is already available in VOD.
