I think the boxoffice for "2012 Oscar Nominated Short Films"
includes the boxoffices of both the live action shorts and the
animated shorts. You should catch the short films packages if it gets
to your neighborhood. You can find the release schedule here.

And gkids.tv is starting its distribution of "Chico and Rita",
one of its two films nominated for Best Animated Feature. The film
had a strong boxoffice in its one NYC theater. It also already has
its own Rotten Tomatoes page.

If your city isn't listed, write to GKids to see what they can do.

And of course, "The Secret Life of Arrietty" opens this weekend, with
a distribution of over 1000 theaters. It's going to be playing in the
theater that's just 6 minutes from my home.
