One thing I want to mention, and I'm not completely sure if this means what I think it means, it's that they're calling this a "theatre roadshow". What I take that to mean -- and I could certainly be wrong -- is that rather than releasing in a whole ton of theatres on day one like your big name film release, they'll be releasing in some theatres to start, and then moving it to different theatres as they go along so they can hit more places with less "prints" (granted that I doubt it's put on film). 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.
