#3 Apparently the distribution was screwed up: poor PR efforts, only a handful of cities screened it, and release was drowned out by the election and the World Series. The distribution company's owned by Mark Cuban.

I'd like to be able to see all of the footage. Wonder how much they'd sell the rights for?
