It may have been a publicity stunt, but more than likely it was just business as usual in the movie business.
If you'll watch the behind the scenes sections from the first LOTR DVD you'll find that the trilogy had to be shopped around after the original company decided they didn't want to finish the deal. They allowed it to be shopped around though, just as Disney has done here, and did not prevent the movie from going forward; they just weren't going to foot the bill.
Come to think of it, this was a publicity stunt, but only in the sense that such a huge deal was made about something so mundane, but I don't think MM planned it. My best guess is that he couldn't be happier about the controvesy though.
Everything isn't a conspiracy, and you
can sign me up for a ticket. I can learn as much from Michael Moore as I can from Fox news.
