months after it was released, and was only shown for one week,

9. In late July, the Democratic Convention will be the big poltical event,

In late July, the Democratic Convention will be the big poltical event,so a late June release is fine.

16. The DVD release date might be even more important...

than theatrical release. Video will be the primary means through which people will see the film. I hope it hits video before the election...

10. I wonder if any theater owners will boycott

It will be interesting to see how widely it gets distributed.
