[QUOTE="King_Stannis, post: 97256, member: 324"] Absolutely. I'm not going during the first week either. But I’m probably not going during the first week because of crowds and because I must line up a babysitter. So does that put me in with the “protesters”? If these “protesters” end up seeing the film 3 times, but just not on the first week, can that in any stretch of the imagination be called a “boycott”? What if the theaters are still sold out on day 8 and these protesters somehow wrangle up a ticket or two? Is that a protest?
