Lionsgate's Bill Maher upcoming docu "Religulous" got a standing ovation later Saturday. Outside, 



a small group of [protestors] picketed the movie, directed by Larry Charles, who himself decided to speak with 



those carrying [picket signs] 

decrying the movie as an attack on religious beliefs. 



That kind of publicity generally only helps a studio raise a film's awareness level.
