Comcast pisses off theater owners even more with "day and date"

Comcast Corp. and IFC Entertainment are set to announce a deal Tuesday that will ensure simultaneous distribution for independent films in select theaters and via video-on-demand. The indie drama "American Gun" will be the first title to get day-and-date treatment, on March 24, in the 9 million homes that comprise Comcast's digital footprint and in IFC's own IFC Center theater in New York.
