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.

    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.

    That’s cause there is no target audience. His supporters already think he can do no wrong so who is this film trying to win over?

    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.

    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.

        Assigned seating has been the norm here for decades. Makes things go a little more smoothly, especially when everyone expects it.

        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

    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.

    To be fair it is for 6:30. If you have work and a family, a 6:30 showing is not all that viable an option regardless of the film.

      Unfortunately for his fans, all the Blockbusters have closed.

      They do still cherish their VCRs though. It’s the only proper way to watch John Wayne movies.
