    When was the last time a director did this? I know there have been some in the past.

    I saw Kevin Smith at WonderCon 2010, at that point in time he was essentially lashing out at the people trashing Cop Out (though within a couple years, he too came to the realization that it was a piece of shit he didn't enjoy making, and publicly admitted that it was a piece of shit he didn't enjoy making).

     

    Not the same type of scenario necessarily, but the BTS stories about the Tony Kane and the American History X fiasco comes to mind. He flew from Germany to Canada and made TIFF remove the movie from the festival (which was supposed to be the premiere), almost paid large groups of people to block audiences from entering movie theaters when it was released, punched a wall and broke his hand after he was kicked out of the editing room and New Line let Norton take over, communicated with the studio exclusively via full page ads on Variety and THR, etc. It's pretty clear that Kane is...eccentric, but I remember reading this and being amazed.

    So many users not posting, just lurking.

    Speak. Talk. Welcome to the Box Office World.

    I just came back from getting trampled the theater and felt I should comment on the craziness. Crowds here were insane. What's crazier to me is the fact that the theater I usually go to is pretty big, but it's never super, super busy (at least not to the point where people have to line up in advance). We can usually walk up and buy tickets, get popcorn and drinks, and still get a good seat with about 20 minutes (maybe 30 at the most) before showtime even for big stuff like all of the Marvel movies and THG. I watched JW twice. Once last night (which was even crazier) and once today. I went with the roomie last night and we were checking out showtimes at around 5PM and the 7, 7:30, 7:45 were sold out. We got to the theater at around 7ish and got tickets for the 8:15 show, and we had to stand in line for about an hour and there were already like 20 people ahead of us. We went back today for a 3:30 showtime and it was crazy too, but I can't tell if it was less crowded or the theater was better prepared for the crowds. I feel like this is pretty ~par for the course in a lot of places, but we're so not used to this kind of thing lmao. Every one was freaked out and couldn't believe what was happening. And obviously there were the obligatory groups of like 7 people who tried to go in like 2 minutes before showtime and got all huffy when they couldn't find seats together. 

     

    eta: there was also some poor soul who got confused and stood in line for the 8:15 show without realizing that her showtime of 7:30PM was history until it was too late :(
