The documentary 2016: Obama’s America, paints a bleak picture of the world should President Obama be re-elected. the film has been in theaters for a couple of months now, but Yahoo! Movies, one of the biggest online movie listings sites, does not list the film’s  theaters or showtimes

It’s easy to find out when and where you can watch “Expendables 2” and “Sparkle” and independent films like “Sleepwalk With Me,” but there are no listings for Dinesh D’Souza-2016: Obama’s America. In fact, Yahoo! Movies doesn’t appear to have the documentary listed in its database at all.

“I was interested in seeing the new movie, 2016: Obama’s America so I went to Yahoo! Movies as I usually do to find the time and showing. I found that you cannot search for it on Yahoo! Movies,” one disgruntled moviegoer told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. “I checked the movie’s site and found out where it was opening on August 24th and so I checked those theaters for that date and it does not show up. Is it possible that Yahoo! is trying to keep people from watching this movie?”

Yahoo! says no way. “Yahoo! only displays movies that we have received information about from distributors or representatives of films,” a company rep told FOX411.

2016: Obama’s America distributors have not yet commented on whether or not they sent information to Yahoo!, but a source close to the film points out that if you search Yahoo! Movies for a smaller movie opening in a small number of theaters that may not be in Yahoo!’s film database, like the new movie “Compliance,” which opened last weekend in a single theater, Yahoo! Movies defaults to a web search for that title, which yields multiple results. The same search for 2016: Obama’s America yields no search results, even though it has been widely discussed and covered online.

2016: Obama’s America, now showing in 169 theaters, does show up on showtime searches through Google and Moviefone. The documentary came in 13th at the box office over the weekend, with a per-screen average of $7,391, the fifth highest average of any film over the weekend.

“When somebody goes to Yahoo!’s movie site and types in a film’s name, typically hundreds of web search results come up yet when one searches for “2016: Obama’s America” not one search result is returned,” said “2016” executive producer John Sullivan. “The website for ‘2016: Obama’s America’ is generating nearly a million page views per day so it’s not as though the information traffic is not out there. We look forward to Yahoo! updating its search capability so that viewers can easily find out information about ours and other popular movies.”
