"I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" opens Friday, complete list of theaters

Like I explained on Monday, our distribution strategy is a typical indie one: 125 screens the first weekend, 300 or so the second, then wide expansion into about 2000 by the third weekend, which will cover the whole country.

This will mean that for some of you, the movie won't be getting to your city for two or three more weeks. This sucks, but please understand why we are doing it this way: It's because this is how we have to do it in order to give the movie the best chance of success given the money we have to distribute it. You can read my explanation of it here, or read what the LA Times or New York Magazine says about it.

Because Nils and I believed so much in this movie, we did a 31 city premiere tour and stood in front of 15,000 of our fans, showed them the movie, answered their questions, took pictures with them, and sometimes even got drunk with them. And the response from those fans has been overwhelmingly positive. The people who have ACTUALLY SEEN the movie love it. You can go to the movie's Facebook fan page, or my Facebook fan page, or all the YouTube videos, or any other place, and see what real people who went to premieres say about it.

Go see this movie. At the very least, you will laugh a lot and you will definitely see the most epic shit scene in movie history. And if you are like most people so far, you will love the movie, and want to go back and see it again. I have never lied to or deceived my fans, and I am not about to start now:

You have my word that "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" the movie will be worth the price of admission.

-Chicago for opening weekend: We have the most theaters in the Chicagoland area the first weekend because that it is our expansion test area. And yes, Nils and I will be in Chicago for opening weekend, and Friday night we will be at Faith and Whiskey, Saturday, we'll be at McFaddens. Details tomorrow.

-Canadian Release: Our Canadian distributor has decided to do the Canadian release in two weeks. I think this is stupid, but like I have explained 100 times, we have no control over foreign distribution. In ANY country.

-Other foreign release: Again, we have no control over foreign release at all. None. They can go day and date, they can wait a year, they can just send it straight to DVD, they can do anything they want. That is the way foreign release work, and asking me about when they are coming out is pointless. I don't know and it's not up to me. If you live outside the US and are desperate to see the movie and can't find the release date in your country, then just pirate the movie and watch it online. I am serious. I have no issue with that.
