850 theaters is very good for a small indie film, huge in fact. If the film does well it will get more theaters. it may even reach Peoria. The R rating is probably ridiculous as we've already seen dead bodies at Abu Graib on TV.

He originally said over 1000, then it dropped twice to almost 450. So, 850 is an increase, but still under what he wanted.
