Checking to see what movies were playing tonight. Didn't even know this movie existed. Decided to check and see how packed it was in my rural Eastern NC town. This is for the showing starting in 30min

And even further, only those exact same two seats are ‘taken’ for every single showing.
I thought for sure the after church showings tomorrow would be at least somewhat full, but nope.
To be clear:
The ‘x’ seats are ‘taken’
The 🟦 seats are ‘available’ETA As many have pointed out, since these same two seats are blocked for every showing, I believe it’s because they’re broken; not sold.
It kind of makes sense. People who love Trump don't exactly have the patience to watch a documentary to begin with.
Ha, hahaha, oh shit that's a good point
I find your laugh interesting. It's like a small bit of the humor hit your brain early. So you let out the innitial ha. Then the full humor hit, and it became more of a full laugh.
Kind of like when you're holding in a fart at the thanksgiving day dinner table, and you let out a small bit of a fart, but then everyone looks at you, and the jig is up anyways, so you let out an ass ripping fart. Then grandma yells at you.
Idk, you ever wonder who bought/read all those Killing x books that Bill O Reilly wrote?
Those books were always in Costco but I never saw their stacks get short. My guess is a couple organizations collaborating with O'Reilly buy copies of it in bulk and ship them straight to a landfill.
If both seats are taken for all showings, probably they are broken and locked off.
Could also be like the starter bills in a tip jar, encouraging people to book now.
Well I've seen enough to know it's not even worth a hate watch:
From Wikipedia
Dinesh Joseph D'Souza (/dɪˈnɛʃdəˈsuːzə/; born April 25, 1961) is an American right-wing[1][2][3] political commentator, conspiracy theorist, author, filmmaker and convicted felon who received a Presidential pardon by Donald Trump for his crimes.
Surprise surprise.
All that AND a felon ehh.
I'd never heard that name before. I looked it up. I feel like I'm dumber for having done so.
My condolences for your lost time and brain cells.
Oh, don't worry, you emphatically are. My condolences.
I did the same
I cannot wait for the Some More News episode on this movie now...
Totally sold out. The most sold out movie ever. You remember Titan-ick? Had a naked girl in it and it didn't sell as many tickets as this movie. People are saying this is the best movie there is. People are watching it 4 or 5 times and saying how good it is. I haven't seen it. Maybe I'll see it. Deenish de-sooza did the movie. She's hot, have you seen her? Smokin hot. They wanted me to be in it. Was I I in it? Sure, maybe. Great movie. The best.
OMG! Nailed it dude!
I liked Philomena Crunk's version "Titan One-Cee."
Not that I think this isn't hilarious, but to quote Trump's own idiotic ramblings, "Nobody knows what an app is." His redneck supporters that don't trust such fancy lib'ral scams as "mail" and "locked drop boxes" sure aren't going to understand using an app to book a seat in a movie theater.
In my local theater you also have to ‘reserve’ a seat when you buy the ticket in person. Don’t ask me why.
Reasonable reason: pre-2020 theaters would be packed sometimes and it's helpful to have assigned seats. It resolves seating disputes and gets people to go straight to their seats. When I saw Avengers End Game (or maybe Infinity War), they had to have employees spotting empty seats for everyone walking in.
Cynical theory: they're logging seat selection trends and going to move to tiered pricing like airplane seats
Assigned seating has been the norm here for decades. Makes things go a little more smoothly, especially when everyone expects it.
Lmao in a city with ~300k, not much better lol
I got curious. This showing is in about 90 minutes, in one of the reddest counties in the country.
There is another show tonight that has about 10 tickets sold.
If this is in one of the reddest counties, then that means NONE of this means anything, other than this movie did a terrible job advertising. Even to their base. Nobody knows the movie exists.
How is a piss poor documentary with zero marketing making it into so many theaters?
This looks like Megaplex. You also in Utah, my friend?
I can't even find showings in my state.
This theater seating arangement pisses me off. Why did they remove 2 seats on all the rows behind the handicap seat row? And why are there 2 seats even further to the right, but X'd off in the back row??? If anything that just shows theres enough space for 4 more seats in EVERY row behind the handicaped row! Is that just empty floor space??? Why is that there??? Like a mini dance floor in the theater???
Truly you have done as your handle says
If it's like the theater near me the space is for the entrance and stairs. You would come in at the level with the handicapped seating and go down stairs to the rows in front of that and up stairs for the rows behind.
With this movie, Am I Racist?, and Reagan all playing at the same time, the GOP is really going full-throttle in attempting to exploit their base.
Just two bros chilling in the movie theater, 5 seats apart because they're not gay!
"Kevin, how did you meet your husband?"
"Well, it's a funny story, but we meet at this dumb Trump movie in NC..."
Are those seats blocked cause they're defective?
Yeah, usually shows for a broken seat.
I dont know how much I believe the theater. This is tomorrow in Connecticut. 4:55 sold out but all the other times have zero to 7 people. Yeah it's a Sunday but I would t put it past thr gop to be artificially inflating box office receipts.
So? How was it?
Every theater has about 2 seats blocked off because they squeak too much and have been complained about. I'm blown away at the amount of religious content at theaters. There is tons. Some of it is basically like going to evangelical church. They're not movies they're sermons in theaters.
This one is made by a D'Souza, the same name behind that movie about ballot boxes being stuffed in 2020. It's nonsense.
Solid red area of TN! Empty with two hours to go!I'm sure you and everyone else understand, attendance isn't proof of anything beyond box office numbers. Many theaters are empty that's how they know to show something new.
I don't know what's worse, that an idiot wrote this, the only piece of trivia on the IMDB about the film, or that six people found it helpful.
Ay lmao
Ugh, Westminster, CO. Most showings in the Denver area are at least half full. But most theaters aren't showing it at all.
Apparently it is set in the same cinematic universe as Surviving R. Kelly.
That's not showing in my blue city, but another movie "Am I Racist?" is showing (or not? Maybe they don't hit play if the theater is empty).
It seems to be about a racist guy who takes on a disguise so nobody recognizes him as the racist guy and pretends to be a mentally ill progressive or something and interviews people
No better way to expose your opposition than to... Pretend to be them and shoot a film under that pretense?! I know genuine creativity is something conservatives are generally incapable of, but it's at satire levels now. They can't make a compelling argument for anything they stand for because the truth would lose them support
It's been so long since I've been to the movies that I didn't even realize that theatres now have assigned seats.
Many have upgraded to extra comfy recliners, some with pairs of seats you can raise the center arm rest and get cozy. With less than half the seats that they used to have, it's far more comfortable.
Lol it's funny to me that theaters think that's what'll save them. I don't go to movies, not because the old seats, but because movies are all terrible remakes and reboots that I don't want to see, and you have to take out a second mortgage just to be able to afford tickets and snacks. Why would I go? I'll wait until the torrent pops up if I even want to see it at all, thanks.
Here's the nearest theater to me smack-dab in the middle of the reddest metroplex in the country.Blockbuster material if you ask me.
Unfortunately for his fans, all the Blockbusters have closed.
They do still cherish their VCRs though. It's the only proper way to watch John Wayne movies.
My guess might be that much of the audience buys a ticket when they show up. I know that's probably what I would do. Especially if I saw ahead of time that I can choose any seat.
I think you still have to buy a specific seat if you buy at the theater otherwise it would break the system if anyone did buy an assigned seat after you.
I just checked the 9pm showing and it’s still showing an empty theater 3 min before start.
To be fair it is for 6:30. If you have work and a family, a 6:30 showing is not all that viable an option regardless of the film.
