DAJK Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I have no doubt that a lot of movies sell out/100% full. But one thing I've noticed is that a lot of people will come out of a movie saying things like "I'm glad we got seats before that sold out" when really the theatre was only 75% full. It's because the people are more spread out in the theatre with 1 or 2 seats in between large groups of people and then seats right up against the wall and the very front row or 2 empty.

Blankments Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 My theater was legit sold out though, like even the first three rows were full 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) The only time I've been to a 100% sold out show is TS3. TFA, BVS, F7, and AOU were very close to full sellouts but there were still some single seats left. Edited May 6, 2016 by WrathOfHan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I've never been in a 100% full movie but I've worked them. Jungle Book 2D on its first Tuesday and plenty of Star Wars shows on its first week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) Been in a fair number of sold-out movies recently. First 2 times I saw TFA it was sold out (on consecutive weekends), Inside Out was sold out, and so was GotG. CW was not sold out, but it was quite full, perhaps 90%. The showing after us was sold out, though. Trailers were: X-Men (well received) Magnificent Seven (well received) Warcraft (surprisingly well received) Tarzan (well received) Star Trek (best reception of any movie. I think its that Beastie Boys song, honestly) Independence Day 2 (decent) Alice 2 (lukewarm response) Dr Strange (decent. Might have been better, but when it started, people were murmuring "ANOTHER trailer? wtf?") Edited May 6, 2016 by Wrath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepCSC Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) When I worked at a theatre 15+ years ago, we weren't allowed to do 100% sell-outs because then people that couldn't find seats together would just come out and get refunds. A "sold-out" movie was simply when we stopped selling tickets. Over 80% and our screens would go yellow, over 90% and our screens would go red. Only Phantom Menace did we push down past 95%. Of course now my old theatre is one where you pick your seat. It does now seem to get to 100% or 99% on busy days like today.

DAJK Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Neighbors 2 May 20, 2016 Scotiabank Theatre, Cineplex, Vancouver 2:30PM showing, 40% full Trailers: - Mike and Dave (lots of laughs) - Popstar (no reaction) - The Purge: Anarchy (a lot of "wtf" at first but a lot of "what the f*** man you made me drop my popcorn) - NYSM 2 (a few murmurs) Overall, I'm pretty sure the audience liked the movie more than me. Surprised at how many older people were there, they made up maybe a third of the audience, whereas the rest were 16-18 year olds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
