In Reply to: Theater Reports, please posted by Kevin on March 28, 2004 at 09:54:40:
: Anyone go last night? What were the crowds (if any) like? Percentage of theater empty/
full?
: Crowd reaction?
Friday at 4:10 in Branford,CT. Regal Cinemas. Probably 40 people there, mostly females,
many couples(hetero only) a big group of fine ladies,myself and my three friends I brought.
Probably 20% full, it was a friday afternoon. Besides a couple, who were probably in their
late 70's who left after Brian and Gerties 'show and tell', everyone seemed to enjoy the film
and most stayed through the credits. Lots of laughter and the one couple in front of me
seemed to react very stronlgly to Gertie's (J.Lo) death.
Saturday at 5 in Orange,CT. Showcase Cinemas. Around 100 people, mostly older (50+).
Noone left this time but there was a collective "Oh My god" during said 'show and tell scene'
but then laughter upon Ollie's entry, reaction, and subsequent questioning. One again many
people stayed through the credits.
I think in my two screenings the movie went over well with only the elderly couple leaving
and an usually large group of people staying through the credits, a rare aoccurence
nowadays.
: I wish I could hit every screening across the country and do a Q&A...
A Q&A would have been great after but the movie was a treat in itself. Thank you Kevin.
