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.

        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.

        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.

    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.

    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.

            Why would they not apply the same system to all purchases? Either seats are reserved or they aren’t.

    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.

      Might be a thing like with Christian movies where a church buys out an entire show in one block in the expectation of their parishioners all going. It artificially inflates their box office numbers too, of course.

    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.

      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.
