Not that I know exactly, but I'm thinking Lions Gate would have needed to see a bigger take, probably $10,000 or more per theater, to justify any wider release than Vulgar is getting. A $6,500 per screen average just isn't enough to justify a platfrom release.
Take this puppy to Video. ABP has done well there. On DVD the film can more easily reach its intended audience.
I hear that, without the rape sequence, the film is pretty funny. Too bad I won't find out. The "dead guy in a bathroom" bit in Clerks was suggested, to hilarious results. Too bad that wasn't done here.

: At just two theaters, the unrated Lions Gate release, the verging-on-porno Vulgar earned $13,000.
