According to this poster, theatres are already booked:

I have actually been to both NYC cinemas, and I'd say that there's nothing
wrong with those; at least not ten years ago. Completely normal commercial
movie houses, with art films on their repertoire. I don't expect this to be a
wide release in 2,000 cinemas, but does that ever happen to independent
productions?

XLrator, is one I've never heard of (and I've heard of most of them), and from
their website (www.xlratormedia.com) it looks like they're mostly in the
business of "multi-platform", i.e. direct-to-on-demand, releasing with a
little bit of theatrical on the side. Plus, my editors keep a full list of
movies opening theatrically from now into early 2014, and this isn't on it. So
don't hold your breath. It looks like the movie's playing exclusively in the
states on DirectTV -- satellite only -- so who knows if it will show up on the
usual on-demand pipelines (Comcast, Verizon, etc). I imagine it'll arrive on
Netflix and iTunes in due course.

*some* kind of festival play or even a NY/LA theatrical. And too bad, as it
sounds perfectly watchable per Keith and a former CBGBs employee who posted a
thoughtful take on the film on the Internet Movie Database:

And I really, really doubt it will get a wide release.
