The New York Times is just now reporting that the independent Canadian Lions Gate Films has won the distribution rights for Moore's film, and that a release date of June 25 has been set. The film will be released on "about 1,000 theaters" in the U.S. Showtime, which caught the ditched Reagan miniseries, will show the film on pay cable.
If you go to Michael Moore's site, you'll see the initial flash screen confirms this, though there are as yet no details on the main page.
For those of us in Japan, I have found no release date for this country, though films quite often are delayed by a month or so; smaller films like those Moore makes are often delayed by several months or even more than a year, but this film is time-based enough that we will hopefully see it before November.
My wife is reading an article on this right now in the current Japanese issue of NEWSWEEK. The film will hit Japanese theaters this summer and the DVD will be in stores in October.

Any specific release dates for the film? interesting about the DVD--and good news, too, the filom should be as widely disseminated as possible before November.

no, she said there was no specific date stated in the article, but I'm sure we'll learn about that soon.
