It was in theatres for like...a minute...mostly for screenings.
Why did it take so long to come out? I remember there being a lot of hub-bub about it, but I can't recall the exact story. You might be able to find it online somewhere, but I can't recall...but it is odd considering the consensus reviews think it was a finely crafted film and there aren't much less then positive reviews for it.
While, I am sure there is a justification for the straight-to-DVD release of the film...nearly two years for it to happen is overly strange, considering the film has been anticipated since before it wrapped.
