==Release== David was able to get Universal Pictures to finance and distribute the film based "on a one-page description," according to Cronenberg.{{sfn|Rodley|1997|p=100}} ''Videodrome'' was distributed by Universal Pictures in Canada and the United States, and by Les Films Mutuels in Quebec. It was released in six hundred theatres on February 4, 1983.{{sfn|Turner|1987|p=377-378}} Cronenberg stated that [[Sidney Sheinberg]] regretted giving the film a wide theatrical release rather than treating it as an [[art film]]. Around 900 prints of the film were distributed according to Cronenberg, and the film was only in theaters for a short amount of time. Cronenberg stated that ''Videodrome'' "wasn't an exploitation sell, and it wasn't an art sell. I don't know what it was."{{sfn|Rodley|1997|p=101-102}}
