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.
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.
Our town only has two theaters and only this one has assigned seats. It’s only showing this, that Reagan movie and Beetlejuice. I couldn’t find any seats that had been sold…
However my wife and I went to see Deadpool a week or two ago and the theater was as full as I’ve seen a theater since Covid.
For some comparison, wife and I went to a Tuesday noonish showing of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and there were more than 8 people. So, at a time slot that would be totally understandable to have 1-2 people at a showing, there were way more than for this waste of digital space.
