And that's the point: it's usually the independent theaters who have  
few corporate ties that can make these stands. So far, all the  
theaters that have dropped out with The Cove have more complex  
ownerships, I believe. Personally, I still bet The Cove will be shown,  
and it will be shown at small places like Dainana Geijutsu Gekijo in  
Osaka that was one of the first to stick with Yasukuni (I of course  
don't know if they have signed up to show it).
