27. not showing here
I called a couple of theater companies and was told that Moore's movie was classified as a "documentary or foreign film." Therefore, it would only be opened in places where documentaries traditionally do well and not in places like, for example, Huntsville, Alabama.

When I suggested that this particular documentary wasn't your ordinary documentary, I was told that the management does not take any position regarding the content of a documentary.

I told these people that it wasn't a matter of content, it was a matter of sales, that this might very well be and most viewed documentary in mainstream theater history.

The reply was that a documentary was a documentary and that if I wanted to see it I would have to travel to Mobile, Alabama or Nashville, Tennessee.

So y'all buy lots of tickets, see it a couple of times, and maybe, just maybe, they'll start showing it truly across the country as opposed to just in select places.
