From the rumors I heard (of course Phil would know but his lips are sealed 
) the actual plan was to release the film in the Fall to play some awards campaign... I guess this hypothesis seems now quite unlikely. Anyway they should go for Cannes and go for competition so that the press feel obliged to talk about the film (instead of scandals). If it's going out of competition, there's always the possibility for journalists to just ignore it.
Then again, I suppose distributors are taking time to see how the situation is evolving and evaluate what mess they're in and if they can still succeed in marketing the film or if they'd better cut costs to the minimum and dump it on 10 screens or something.
