The Majestic Theater in Conway is thinking of showing this film.  The guy I talked to said they're considering it for next month.  Their website is http://conwaycafe.com

Aaron is re-working the film after the recent viewings -- here is a press release:

LOS ANGELES - It was a rush to the box office last week as Aaron
Russo's hot documentary "America: Freedom to Fascism" opened in test
markets in New York, Chicago, Austin, Tampa and Kansas City. The
estimated box office last week was approximately $90,000.

Russo used the test markets to evaluate audience response before
spreading it across the country. The film was met with standing
ovations and excellent exit polls. Russo feels that the prints could
be technically improved, so he has made a decision to pull the film
from theaters as of last night (Thursday). He will be upgrading the
quality of the prints and releasing the film this September in time
for the political season. The film will be released in many theaters
across the country.

In Austin, TX the Friday evening show sold out by mid-morning.
Chicago's Landmark Century Centre sold out their Saturday evening show
so quickly, they had to move it to a larger room.

"I am gratified by the consistent standing ovations that the film is
getting throughout America. The exit ratings have been incredibly
high," said Russo. "The people of America are eager to learn the truth
about how our government functions. It is time for the American people
to understand that the Supreme Court has consistently ruled that the
16th Amendment did not give the government the authority to impose a
direct unapportioned tax on the labor of the people. The IRS Code does
not trump Supreme Court decisions. The Supreme Court has defined
income, and it is neither wages nor labor."

The film, which has strong appeal to niche markets, has received
phenomenal support from the grassroots and online community.
