Don't know but I doubt it was any more than 1K.
It's good enough on the big screen... minus the obvious few DV scenes.
I only saw it on the little ten-foot screen at our local screening room theatre, but it really looked awful from the front row. Not only smeary but full of jaggies too. It was about as far away from "good enough" that I could imagine. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis."

I saw it on an averaged-sized screen, far away by my standards but close enough to freak out some of the friends I saw it with. It looked fine to me--for what it was. It was, after all, supposed to be a low-budget TV documentary. 35mm would have looked wrong.

I agree. Anyone who's familiar with the Borat character will be surprised that the picture is as good as it is since they have always deliberately degraded the ersatz Kazakistani TV pictures.
For my money, it's a hilarious and sometimes disturbing film. I'm glad that theatres don't sell milk at the concession stand because lots of people would have it running out their noses.
