Michael Moore's "Sicko" will be released June 29. From Variety:
Pact reteams Bob and Harvey Weinstein with Lionsgate three years after the movie-mogul sibs picked the indie studio to help roll out "Fahrenheit 9/11."
"Lionsgate was very helpful the last time, and this time we're happy to have them involved again," Harvey Weinstein said. He added that he sees "Sicko" as a less controversial film than "Fahrenheit."
"I've seen this movie with Republicans and Democrats, and this is one time Michael has sort of unified everyone," he said. "The health care industry might not have a very good July Fourth."
I wonder which Republicans and Democrats he watched it with?
Apparently it will play at Cannes so we will know more soon:
This year's festival will take place from May 16-27. "SiCKO" will play out of competition, per Michael's request. It will be the first time the film will be seen by the public. "SiCKO" is scheduled to be in theaters this summer.
