I did not know that Fox scaled back the release of the movie to 800 theatres, down from the originally planned 2200, for tonight. My fiance and I had planned to go see it tonight, and I check this morning, and NONE of the theatres here have it. I called two of them and they said they aren't sure if they will ever get it.

This sucks. Anyone else get screwed by this? I was really looking forward to seeing it. :(

I have heard that if the movie does well in it's limited release this weekend, they will put it out to more theatres. Who knows though. Sucks.

I have no desire to see it. If it comes out on HBO or Showtime and nothing else is on, I may watch it.

It got a C+/B- in my book. With 20 minutes left, I was sort of just waiting for it to end so I could go home and do something more intresting.

That, and coupled with the "too much cock" and "too much of a really fat naked guy" it got kind of annoying.

Not in Georgetown you won't, unless you bought your tickets yesterday. :p

Sold out eh? I checked earlier in the week but not today.

I still want to see the Prestige first.

I thought maybe it would be playing in State College, PA, which is where Penn State is(like half an hour from me)...but not even there. I couldn't even find a Carmike theatre in the Pittsburgh area which had it. Just very weird.

Just saw the 1:10 show in the Chicago burbs... has it's funny moments, has it's genius moments, but overall it was mediocre IMO.

Someone actualy wanted to see that movie? :confused:

I would be more entertained watching paint dry... and it's cheaper.
