U.S. Theatrical Release and DVD
A shorter, re-edited version of the film also won a U.S. theatrical distribution deal from Wellspring, which was released at the end of summer 2004. The film had the highest per-screen average in its first opening weekend, grossing $50,601 in a limited U.S. theatrical release (5 screens). The film won approval from Sony Pictures Entertainment, which acquired multi-territory distribution rights of the film in February 2005. Sony also released the film on DVD in North America in August 2005. According to Ryan Werner (who had worked for Wellspring), this movie ended up being profitable for everyone involved, including Wellspring and Gallo himself.

Famous quotes containing the words theatrical and/or release:
“January, month of empty pockets!... Let us endure this evil month, anxious as a theatrical producer’s forehead.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
“We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
