I think the problem is that the cinema companies are run by old men who still believe the stupid prejudice that anime are all kids cartoons and that nobody cares about them and they are too stuck in their ways to even bother to inquire about the possibility of how big the potential audience is.

Because if you look at comic and anime conventions, they are always overrun. Among the general populace here in Ausria (or at least in the bigger cities, dunno about the more rural areas) anime is most certainly popular enough to fill the cinemas if they bothered to show any anime movies.

But nope, it has to be hollywood over everything and maybe the occasional local production... though even those for the most part go straight to the TV instead of cinema. -_-
