Where did you see it? Everything says it came out in November in the US but I still haven't seen it in any of the theaters in my state (even the biggest ones in all the large cities).
"“We’ll follow the pattern laid out with ‘The King’s Speech,’ ‘The Artist’ and pictures like that and move slowly and deliberately,” said Erik Lomis, distribution chief for the Weinstein Company.
[Just 4 theaters to begin with.]
"The slow but steady expansion will see “The Imitation Game” add six markets and between 25 and 30 theaters on Dec. 12. It will go nationwide in between 600 and 800 theaters on Christmas Day.”

Despite everything in the article about the inaccuracies (and they are right), I found the movie to be enjoyable and really pretty close to the real story if you consider this is all told in under two hours.
Very cute theater with all sorts of obscure foreign films, art films, etc.

The real "wide" release for this movie is Christmas Day (Dec 25th). It shouldn't be hard to find a showing after that.

When I saw it in NYC, it was only at the Angelika.
