D&D Movie/TV How was your theatre? Mine was full Sunday.

[darjr]

When we went Sunday the theatre was full except for a couple seats. How was your theatre so far?

I saw a preview screening Wednesday evening . . . it was dead! Only a handful of folks! But, it was at a new theatre that hasn't advertised its existence very well, and it was a week night . . .

I'm hoping the movie does better in my town this weekend!

 

[Loren the GM]

Went last weekend for the preview screening, and it was a full theater.

 

[Dioltach]

Went to a screening last weekend in Marbella, in southern Spain, where I'm on workation.

The theatre was mostly empty: my wife and myself, a father with two small kids, a youngish guy by himself, a very glamorous couple, amd a group of four girls.

I'm going tonight and it's strange: still plenty of tickets available. I was looking at seat for John Wick in comparison and it was nearly completely sold out. Interesting and surprising, actually.

I am curious to know how theaters are doing since a lot of us went last week for the Amazon screening. I wonder if the folks who went last week, and thus aren't going this week, impact opening weekend sales? There were a lot of us who went early that aren't going this weekend, so that would be a shame if it negatively affects the movie in that way.

Less ten at 5:00 PM. Two young boys, and a family of four members.

I literally just watched it at 12:50pm, so not alot of folks in the threater, but I blame the early show time. It proved to my benifit, I needed alot of stretching and I was able to use the cup holder beside me and the seat, not just my own.

Next time I see it, its going to be at a closer threater with more comfortable seats, but I wanted the D-Box experience. Its like taking the movie and turning it into a ride, but one that doesn't trigger my fear of heights

This is why they are going to fold in the preview numbers into the opening weekend numbers.

Went at 720 in the IMAX Thursday night....not even 20% full.....

 

[Azzy]

I went to the early screening thanks to Amazon Prime (I still hate the company), and there were 20-30 people in the theater. Personally, I count that as a good showing given it's was a prescreening with limited availability and my city doesn't have the biggest geek community.

The people seemed to enjoy it, though, as there were quite a few laughs and cheers throughout the movie.

 

[Morrus]

Almost empty, but we went at 10am on opening day (today) as we wanted to talk about it on the podcast this afternoon. I'm sure the evening showings had plenty of people.

 

[darjr]

My theater today was maybe 60% full. I thought about counting seats but didn’t.

 

[Umbran]

I have had too many people I know come down with covid recently. I'm waiting for a time my theater won't be crowded.

 

[UngeheuerLich]

Half full last week in a preview show.
I was pleasently surprised, as when I booked it was nearly empty.

Considering that I saw the first advertising in germany just one day before, I think this was a good sign.

I spread word everywhere that it is a good movie, so I expect the 3 dubbed + 1 OV rooms to fill soon enough.

 

[Lidgar]

Just saw it. Theater was full, and pretty engaged throughout.

 

[Jahydin]

Now that word of mouth is coming out that it's actually pretty good, I think ticket sales will certainly increase.

I know I was waiting before blowing $40!

When I talked with my fellow collegues, I noticed, that the first d&d movie has left scars. Same goes for a review in a big online newspaper.
It is very well possible, that the movie has a slightly lower start than other movies because of what happened over 20 years ago...

 

[Eyes of Nine]

Probably 80-85% empty, but then the entire theatre complex felt empty
