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 assumed it meant the seat was out of service because its broken

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

Only the person in it...

[-] robdor@lemmynsfw.com 28 points 2 months ago

Yeah I think JD Vance booked a private showing of some film last week and sat right there.

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 months ago

Even if it wasn’t broken, nobody should be touching any upholstery he’s spent any time with.

[-] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 147 points 2 months ago

It kind of makes sense. People who love Trump don't exactly have the patience to watch a documentary to begin with.

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 61 points 2 months ago

Why watch a movie, when you could get a random screed from the source himself at 3AM, which you can read in about 30sec?

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

which you can read in about 30sec?

Only if you're not a Trump supporter.

If both seats are taken for all showings, probably they are broken and locked off.

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

Could also be like the starter bills in a tip jar, encouraging people to book now.

I think this guy wanted to be the Michael Moore of whatever side he represents, but he's not talented.

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

And he usually ends sentences with an upward inflection? On top of a horrendous voice it just makes it more annoying?

See your doctor if the condition persists for more than two hours.

Surprise surprise.

I'd never heard that name before. I looked it up. I feel like I'm dumber for having done so.

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.

Lmao in a city with ~300k, not much better lol

[-] radix@lemmy.world 47 points 2 months ago

I got curious. This showing is in about 90 minutes, in one of the reddest counties in the country.

There is another show tonight that has about 10 tickets sold.

[-] odium@programming.dev 34 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

One of the reddest places in a major Texas metropolis, on a Saturday evening, an hour before the showing:

If this is in one of the reddest counties, then that means NONE of this means anything, other than this movie did a terrible job advertising. Even to their base. Nobody knows the movie exists.

With this movie, Am I Racist?, and Reagan all playing at the same time, the GOP is really going full-throttle in attempting to exploit their base.

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

Looking at this graphic, is it still illegal to yell "fire" in a theater like that, or can we record ourselves doing so in those empty rooms for fuckyou lols? 🤷🏽‍♂️

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

They would never tread on your free speech. You say whatever you like. Consequences are for liberals.

Just two bros chilling in the movie theater, 5 seats apart because they're not gay!

"Kevin, how did you meet your husband?"

"Well, it's a funny story, but we meet at this dumb Trump movie in NC..."

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 32 points 2 months ago

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?

Are those seats blocked cause they're defective?

[-] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Yeah, usually shows for a broken seat.

[-] _thebrain_@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Because that is what churches are supposed to do - promote politicians 🙄

So? How was it?

[-] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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 don't know what's worse, that an idiot wrote this, the only piece of trivia on the IMDB about the film, or that six people found it helpful.

[-] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Ugh, Westminster, CO. Most showings in the Denver area are at least half full. But most theaters aren't showing it at all.
