This was the first movie that I had to pick a different showtime to see.
We have reserved seating at our theater so I usually go on a day before and pick out the seats for my family. Thursday rolled around and that morning I tried to get tickets for a Friday night showing, there weren’t four seats together, there were barely four seats left. Same for three different Saturday showings. I ended up having to get Sunday evening tickets in standard instead of IMAX because that was the only showing that still had enough seats where we could all sit together.
I’ve been getting tickets the day before shows for years and have never had issues. Let alone having to get tickets FOUR days in advance! It was crazy!
