Why a limited release?

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2006)

This movie is one of the best 'feel good movies' I've seen in a long time, yet it is almost impossible to find playing anywhere, and that pisses me off! They ran a trailer for it during the SuperBowl which is not cheap, but only released it in just a little over 100 screens across the country! What is wrong with these people?
I know a lot of people who want to see it, but are having the same problem as everyone else. I called my folks who live near Sacremento, Ca., and they haven't been able to find it anywhere close to them. I've seen it twice and know they would love it, and want them to see it, but with the pathetic distribution, that looks doubtful until it comes out on DVD.
I realize the studio or movie may not have a 'King Kong' budget, but why would you spend $25 million on a movie and then only put in out in such tiny quantity?
