No movie is just released in theatres for critics...Critics always see films at advanced screenings or by the DVD screeners they are mailed to. All films are released in theatres...you just have to search for them. Many Oscar-y films are released in art house cinemas...

Slumdog Millionaire, however, does have a wide release. It came out on the 21st of December although it was playing at art house cinemas before then. I am also sure since the movie is so hyped and is doing quite well for not a mainstream film...and the many oscar nominations it will get (and might win), the sales will be way up.
