IMDB is also using the shortened title.

I think the shorter title is more eyecatching and simpler...and more contemporary-sounding.

Very interesting!

Also, when they did the reading/workshop in early February of this year, with Broadway actors, I had wondered if they were already toying with the idea of shortening the film title ( as shown on a poster with the Broadway group photo)
