Taken from Wikipedia: Clive Barker was angry with the Lionsgate's treatment, believing that Lionsgate president Joe Drake is essentially shortchanging other people’s films in order to focus more attention on movies like The Strangers, where he (Joe Drake) received a producing credit: "The politics that are being visited upon it have nothing to do with the movie at all. This is all about ego, and though I mourn the fact that Midnight Meat Train was never given its chance in theaters, it’s a beautifully stylish, scary movie, and it isn’t going anywhere. People will find it, and whether they find it in midnight shows or they find it on dvd, they’ll find it, and in the end the Joe Drakes of the world will disappear."

Yeah Lionsgate dumped it in Discount Cinemas. And they tried to give the same treatment to "Repo!" but couldn't get away with it.

I actually was lucky enough to have a $2 theater in our town, and this opened there first day. So I got to watch it a couple of times.
