Question about Wednesday openings..

[NoCalMike 0]

For those of you that usually go to the big blockbusters on Wednesdays....Do they typically jampack the theaters like Friday openings? I finished my final for my class on Monday, thus I don't have to attend class wednesday night and will be off work at 5pm, which means there will probably be 2-3 Spiderman 2 shows left on Wednesday night. I am wondering if I should buy tickets tonight, or if I should be safe just going tomorrow night and buying tickets then....

It doesn't hurt to get tickets early though.

I think it depends on the movie. Some movies opening on a Wednesday won't pack a theater out like they will on the weekend. But then there's something like STAR WARS or Spidey 2 which involves the Geek Community. Which will . . . well, we geeks tend to choose being half asleep at work on Thursday as long as we get to see the movie on Wednesday. We'll usually pack a place out on Wednesday regardless.

 

In the instance of Spidey 2 . . . getting tickets early won't hurt.

Actually, I always found Sunday Afternoons...PERFECT for movie going.

I seem to remember going to the last two LOTR movies on a Wednesday/Thursday. Both places were filled up nicely, but they weren't "sellouts," although I did sit next to one idiot in ROTK who would talk out loud to his spazoid sun about what was going to happen next and get it wrong. He told his kid at the start of the movie that

 

OMG SPOILER ALERT!!!

 

The "real" Gollum would take the ring off of Smegal after he killed that other hobbit. Douche...

Unless your town shuts down at 8 pm, it will be more crowded at that time.
