All the other anime releases from this past weekend were the same way, I believe. So in that sense, you may see it play in one spot for a few weeks, then another spot for a few weeks, so the total run in theatres may be spread out, but the actual run in any given theatre may be rather short.

If they did that in the US, they might actually make some money off of it. I'd certainly catch it if they came anywhere near Houston (which is unlikely in that "anywhere near Houston" usually means Dallas, which is about four hours away).
