I think that means that the theaters are not clamoring to show it. It's a documentary. I don't think it's ever going to be a big money maker for any theatre. Just too bad. We went to an 11:10 am showing Sunday morning in a small suburban northern New Jersey theatre, one of those 20 screens multiplexes. There must have been 20 folk there, but not a good measure. Friends of ours went to the 3:30 pm showing and said it was almost full. The likely impact of the film will be in all the free showings in libraries, schools, and so on in the next couple of years.
