Theaters refuse to run Moore’s film.

Both theater chains, which were not in domestic distributor Lions Gate’s original 800-theater release plan, are protesting the content of Moore’s film. According to Fridley Theaters’ Web site, the theater chain has received a deluge of e-mails, phone calls and letters, some praising the action and others criticizing it. But a statement from owner Robert Fridley said the company is not playing the film because it believes that “Fahrenheit” is propaganda.

“It has always been and will continue to be our policy to refuse to play what we feel are propaganda films, no matter the source. It was and is our feeling that ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’ falls into that category,” he said.
