How Do I Petition Boondock Saints 2 To Come To My Theater Like They Did With Paranormal Activity?
The Boondock Saints 2 theater listings were posted on thier official site earlier today and the film isn’t being shown anywhere near me (St. Louis, MO area). And I can’t afford to just ship out to where it is showing. How do I set up a petition or whatever to get it in a theater near here like everyone did with Paranormal Activity?

it’s actually quite easy. just make a form in excel or something for everyone to sign. go around town and get as many signatures you can. somewhere in the thousands would be best. then submit the petition to local theatre managers/owners. theaters will only get a movie if they think they can get enough people to watch it so the cost of the movie will be covered and then some (i.e., profit). a small movie like BS 2 may not even be on their radar despite a local following.
here in las vegas we are lucky enough to have 2 theatres that show many foreign and independent films that would likely never be shown elsewhere. it’s a niche in the market that they fill in addition to showing all the big budget blockbusters.
so get that petition signed and submit it to the theatre manager/owner in person.
