Greetings All...
So I know this is limited...but does anyone think showings are going to sell out? Especially in the not-so-large markets? I am just not a big fan of pre-ordering things, even for something I anticipate as much as this. I mean even for the Rifftrax event a few weeks back, for the encore showing I just walked up an purchased my ticket before show time, theater was about 1/2 full when the show started. Other than that...the only limited run shows I've seen were close to 20 years ago...and internet pre-sales didn't exist. In fact. I can pretty safely say any film I pre-ordered tickets on fandango for...out of fear it may be sold out (such as a large blockbuster opening day) was unnecessary.
I don't want to offend any fellow Sacramentans that might be on this forum (doubtful as that is...) but It is now in at least 3 or 4 theaters all close by. I know its only one showing per day, for 3-4 days but I just cant see that many people here going to see it...If I were in the SF Bay Area, or Los Angeles...sure...but of the 400 or so theaters that have this...any that are not in the top 10 markets in the nation (Sacramento ranges between 15 & 20)...I'm not sure if there is such an urgent need. I'd love to be wrong...but I guess we'll see.
**just looked at Fandango...between the 11th & 18th there are 4 theaters having 1 showing per day (sans Friday the 14th and Sunday the 16th), and some days only have 1 or 2 theaters...but anyway...that equates to at least 25 or so opportunities to see this film in that 8 day period. Factor in conservatively at least 100 seats per screen (most are probably 150 even on the smallest) ...so that is banking on 2500-3000 people in "The Valley" wanting to see this film (I cant imagine too much repeat business)...for some reason I don't think I will need to purchase ahead of time...but if I do see any in the area sell out...especially on the day I want to go...then I might reconsider
Also...Screen Junkies just released their fall films preview video...they brought up some pretty obscure films at the end...Godzilla wasn't even mentioned.
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
