Apologies if this is a repost..the search function here leads me to think it's not.
I'd heard of this film, and also heard it was never going to be released in the US, since there's no "mass market" here for it. Maybe I was wrong? Courtesy of Hemmings Motor News online, here's the story..

WHY do they keep thinking that the US has no interest in anything F1?
Ever since I heard about it after I watched the Top Gear tribute I have wanted to see it and found out it's a special only type of film.....glad they have some sense and it's coming finally, and good for them to bring it to Austin....and it was a great success....imagine that!
I've got this one on my nutflicks queue.

Me too. I can't wait, when I started to get into motorsports he and Prost made watching F1 fun. Between them and the awesome Group C cars I was hooked.
I have this saved on my queue, too. If the racing footage is good, I hope they have it somewhere near me in Imax.

I did some research..Senna actually did drive a Group C car at least once. 9th place at the 1000km of Nurburgring for Joest (Audis now, Porsches back then) with Pescarolo & Johansson ("Green Party" Circuit, not the Nordschiliffe).

Anything Senna is worth crawling over broken glass to get to.

Karl, as long as they're reposts of the stuff you've got in the yard..no problem!
If I were rich, and your place was close, I woulda bought about half the stuff you have on your property by now. 
Going in the queue as soon as I get home from work.
No queue. This one I gotta see on the big screen.

I did not know that, cool.
I just paid WAY too much for this poster in the paddock at Sebring. I love it, it is going up as soon as I get home.
