Farenheit 9-11 Distribution....well. I AM suprised.

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

I would figure this movie would be limited to the "art house circuit" for distribution (Miramax pretty much distributes to this market, and this is one of those movies that would play well to that customer base).

Doing a search on the distribution in Louisiville, I see that, yes, it is playing at the local art house..the Baxter cinemas....but its also playing at two big suburban multiplexes...."Tinseltown" and 'Stoneybrook".

So, this movie is actually getting out to the suburban market, at least in Louisville.

In SW Ohio..the Cincinnati/Dayton area...it has a much more limited distribution. No "art houses" at all, but the movie will be showing at one suburban multiplex outside of Cincinnati.

1. Bowling for Columbine ran in the multiplexes before it went to arthouses

Moore has crossed the threshold. He's guaranteed box office.

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

4. cool...wasnt aware of that.

Im not a real Michael Moore fan, so wasnt aware of him beocming somewhat mainstream.

[AP]

7. BfC was the largest grossing documentary EVER.

It's not that he's mainstream so much as that he's money in the bank.

2. panhandle of texas, yup i was surprised

didnt think it would be here

3. here's a link to theaters nationwide

when I went to movietickets.com they didn't have any links, but MM's site gives a listing of 8 theaters in the Phoenix area

Happy Movie viewing :)

9. WOW, I was surprised to see it showing in MESA...

...it'll be interesting to see how THAT goes over. I'll be ready for a brawl. haha Hope not, really... can't wait.

23. State College, PA (Penn Stateville)

I am surprised. But its a college town. This is definitely good news, and I am definitely going to get a group together - including some Bush-loving friends of mine.

[supernova]

5. Terrific! This is great that it will be suburbia

so it can't be dismissed as just for the intellectual elite arthouse crowd.

[HuckleB]

6. Miramax isn't the distributor.

And Moore means money for the theatres, so it'll play everywhere. The bigger a deal the RWers make about it, the bigger it'll get, so I hope they keep raising a stink.

[cyclezealot]

8. It's distribution is still pretty limited.

In San Diego it is only limited to chains that play independent films...Not one of the big chains like Edwards or Kirkorian is picking it up...Not one. That applies to Los ANgeles too.
Luckily we have a chain of theaters that does do independent film on a regular basis...
So does the films distribution exceed the 500 theaters, as we originally feared..?

18. AMC mega plexes

10. four times as many screens as Columbine

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2004/06/13/MNG2K75D7S1.DTL

"It will be in 700 theaters," Moore said. "It's the largest opening I've had, four times the number of screens that 'Columbine,' was on." Moore won the Oscar for best documentary for his 2002 "Bowling for Columbine."

[virgdem]

11. I don't see it playing anywhere in SE Virginia, only in Northern VA...

Guess I'll have to wait for it to come out in Video stores. Oh, the price of living in a red state.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Except not one theater in the Detroit Metro area...closest is in

Ypsilanti. I see it playing in smaller cities around here that are well mixed ideology wise, and I'm not happy about it. :hi:

[Aunt Anti-bush]

13. I saw a commercial for it on tv today!

It was on Comedy Central. From what I understand it is going to be in all of the big theaters. :)

14. CAMPAIGN TO BLOCK FILM

Here's a news story on the campaign to block Moore's 911 film (as mentioned in other posts)

http://www.rawstory.com/exclusives/byrne/move_america_forward_blocks_9...

Keep your eye on The Raw Story (http://www.rawstory.com )on Monday for a response from Miramax/Moore and MoveAmericaFoward, as well as any updates that might appear.

15. Johnson City, TN, too!

But not Nashville or Knoxville.

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

19. LOL..the Tri-Citys, huh?

That is funny when you think about how Republican that area traditionally has been.

[Jane Austin]

28. Can you believe it? :)

We have a friend - in his fifties, I guess - who is getting a degree in bluegrass fiddling at East Tennessee in Johnson City. :)

16. Not being release ANYWHERE in Atlanta

not even the LeFont theaters which usually always show the controversial films. I'm calling LaFont's offices tomorrow, as well as AMC and Carmike. I am REALLY going to be pissed if I I have to drive to another state to see this (which I plan on doing BTW if it doesn't show in GA).

[Eloriel]

25. You can go to Montgomery, AL, of all places

:wtf:

Amazing, isn't it?

I'm in GA too.

[doni_georgia]

26. Hell I can go to Columbia or Charleston SC too!

Unbelievable I just can't get my mind around this. Isn't Atlanta supposed to be the progressive city of the south?

[Pepperbelly]

17. In Little Rock ... it's playing in both the local art house AND ...

the largest multiplex.

And in Jonesboro, home of ASU but not in Fayettevlle, home of the U of A.

:shrug:

[lojasmo]

20. Yay! Rochester, Minnesota

I can't believe it! And it starts on my birthday! Yeeeaaarrrrgh!

[RidgeWalker]

21. Good news

I can't wait to see this movie.

[doni_georgia]

22. WTF - it's going to be showing in Alabama, SC, TN, and NC but not

Atlanta?? :wtf:

[k in IA]

24. Only in Des Moines in Iowa. In Missouri, it is all over around KC both on

the KS and MO sides but no where else, including St. Louis.

[laylah]

27. I'm not seeing it

playing in Illinois anywhere...to include Chicago! Also, no showings, as of yet, in Colorado...not even BOULDER! wtf???

[buycitgo]

29. It's at the Davis........Sheridan Road, I think.....may be wrong

isn't it most important to be shown in swing states?

I know everybody wants to see it, but what Ohio, WVA, MO, Iowa, WI, etc should be getting blanketed

if it hits the first few weeks, it'll open much wider, though, so go early, go often......bring your friends

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

31. Please double check the website, don't despair...

It's in Boulder, one in Colorado Springs, and the Chez Artiste, Highlands Ranch AMC, Westminster Promenade and Colorado Mills. MKJ

[NashVegas]

30. Nothing Doing In Middle Tennessee

Regal and Carmike are sitting on it. Hopefully, the art house will come through.
