If you prepaid for your tickets, you guys know you can use your phones or print them from your emails?

not at my theater....they had kiosks inside the theater where you had to stick your CC in.

Oh you go to tommyboy's BIL theater?! That's stupid, how much could that scanner possibly cost?! I wish businesses would keep up with the times.

AMC theater with tickets purchased from Fandango and they are requiring pick up with CC. I'm thinking a lot of the major theaters are doing this to cut down on scalpers.

Have been sitting in the theatre about an hour now

Starting to fill up

Oh come on

Went to the theater this morning and picked up pre-paid tickets before the nerds put down their battlefront video game for the day.

I'm not going until Saturday, but, plan on showing up many hours early to pick up tickets and then get hammered at the sports bar next door.

Anybody have any idea what to expect for lines at an IMAX on Saturday?

Should be pretty quiet.

Depends on who sits next to you.

No shame in that game. If it's a place that has alcohol even better.

 

[cstu]

Some dooshnizzle on espn radio just let loose what i would assume is a decent spoiler of the movie. He should be throat punched. I guess i go to full media lock down for the next 25 hours.

I read that there a campaign to spoil the movie by hard core Star Wars fans disappointed by the movie.

Harrison Ford's plea.

Pretty much the same in my theater. Seats are basically filled. Movie starts in 40 minutes

 

[sports_fan]

I'm not seeing too many costumes. Thankfully

Man, what kind of theater doesn't let you preorder and pick your seats?

 

[ShaqAttaq]

Walked in about 45 minutes before show time. Theater was about 2/3 full. We have decent seats but it's a reminder why I almost never see movies in the theater that have kids in attendance

 

[KarmaPolice]

I'm not seeing too many costumes. Thankfully

I dunno, episode 1 midnight release was humorous. We had a ton of costumes and some dork on stage singing acoustic Star Wars songs. Just glad the lightsaber fights stopped after the movie started.

People get mocked on social media now.

Oh, thought he meant AMC Prime seats - the ones where you get a recliner.

Then why are you seeing a kids movie on opening night?

 

[sports_fan]

I don't think my theater is going to fill completely.

 

[Wrigley]

7:00

OMG OMG OMG

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

I don't think my theater is going to fill completely.

Neither is my living room.

 

[Wingnut]

Collective nerdgasms going off across the nation.

 

[MattFancy]

Just got home from seeing it. Wow! Lived up to the hype!

 

[Tom Servo]

Just got back from seeing it. Worth the cash. Trust me.

 

[Wingnut]

^ nice to hear!

 

[Buddy Ball 2K3]

Sooooo Good.

Lucas left us with a bad taste in our mouth that has lasted 15 years, and JJ washed it all way.

 

[MattFancy]

Should me make a thread for those that have seen it to discuss?

 

[Insein]

Already made. Go to it.

 

[Wrigley]

Omg

 

[The Ref]

So I had tickets to the midnight show.... I just snuck into the 10:30 show.... It's not even half full.

Granted every theater is Star Wars but i was expecting more

 

[MattFancy]

My theatre down here in Southern MD had nothing but Star Wars on their 12 screens and has 22 showings tomorrow

i don't understand why not go to a theater where you can reserve a seat?

Saw it in IMAX without reserved seats. Had one person in our party show up at 4:30 for the 7pm showing. By 5pm she said it was 75% full. I sat next to the guy who was the first one in the theater. Had been sitting there since 1pm.

 

[MikeIke]

Must...avoid.. Spoiler thread.

Stay strong, Mike, you're seeing it in 17 hours...

 

[joey]

I just laid out the main spoiler plot points in my last post in the spoiler thread just now.

DO NOT GO IN THERE and ruin it for yourself!!!

 

[tommyboy]

1hr

And I just walk in and sit down.

 

[jamny]

Probably posted already:

All 6 Stars Wars at once

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Wtf Vader is Luke's father!!!!!!

 

[sports_fan]

Enjoyable movie and better than the prequels but I didn't find it to be anything extraordinary. Probably not worth multiple theatre viewings

 

[The Ref]

Great movie

 

[renesauz]

Terrific...better than any of the others, with the possible exception of Empire

 

[tommyboy]

liked it a lot.

 

[KarmaPolice]

10 hours to go. One ####ty shift of work to get through. So excited to share this with my 9 year old.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Cineopolis, leather back seats, limited number of people, booze in the lobby, assigned seats before you get there, $20 a ticket you better believe it. I'm expecting a foot massage.

 

[Todem]

I am so happy about having reserved seats for IMAX. I will get to the theater 9:30 tomorrow morning, get my popcorn and coke Icee and go sit down without having to worry about finding a seat.

Pretty awesome.

 

[Tom Servo]

liked it a lot.

Did your BiL wise up about this movie yet?

 

[Otis]

This thread has been mind blowing for me. Apparently the fancy, reserved seat, cocktails, waitress service movie theaters are all over the place, but there's nothing like this anywhere close to my house. The best I've found is a single theater an hour from my house that has reserved stadium seating up front.

This is infuriating. I would gladly pay 40 or 50 bucks a ticket for a high end theater with no riff raff and tons of amenities. Why doesn't this exist here? FML

What can I say, we were a little excited.

:worthit:

Besides, I've got 3 little ones at home. A couple hours of just sitting around is like a mini vacation.

And you live in NYC, the alleged cultural center of America?

 

[The Ref]

So how was the attendance?

I had tickets to the 12 showing but was able to sneak into the 10 showing because it was only 1/3 full......
