    I remember watching catch me if you can on christmas morning and it was snowing after the show. Definitely the atmosphere was awesome. 

    I feel the atmosphere enhances the movie going experience. 

     

    The spillover effect is at its peak during this time. People come to the theater to see a specific movie. If it is sold out they check out something else.

  2. Event movies have huge early buzz with people following them for months before release supplemented with good pre-sales. I don't think Deadpool qualifies with that criteria. But it was a phenom in its after release performance. But that does not make it an event.

     

    BvS was an event. Its run was pathetic. 

     

    RO is an event and the early run seems to be pointing towards a phenomenal run too. 

  3. Discount Tuesdays are meant to accomplish a few things.

     

    1. Get regular moviegoers to watch movies at greater frequency.

    2. Get tightwad auds to give some movies a shot

    3. Get infrequent/rare moviegoers to watch movies

     

    The idea is to get the audiences into the habit of watching movies thereby increasing the audience pool.

    At another forum members nearly 'killed' each other over the term 'best' in connection with actors.

    The question whom to add on that chart was meant as: best quality in their profession, but there seems to be a region where best means the best person (character, warm/nice personality = like doing charity and being open to fans)

    The 'riots' took several days till more or less accidental the differences in using the term became clear.

     

    Btw, the term vest (clothing) is also used very very very differently. Depending on English speaking country (and sometimes even within the same country if it is a big one) it is in use for: 

    a certain style of T-shirt, a sleeveless jacket, a certain style of dress, a sleeveless pullover,... 

    If all people are aware about speaking about clothes no one will usually ask which kind of clothes people are even speaking about.

     

    Hence the reason I try to ask or point out the possibility. Plus the differences in opinion and / or beforehand expectations for which reasons, like in this case

     

    Completely agree with your view point. Usage of certain words vary according to regions/countries/cultures. 

     

    Many Indians tend to use the term "Rubber" for eraser and "Fag" for a cigarette resulting in hilarious situations in English speaking countries like the US. I was somewhat privy to those terms when I moved to the US in the late 80s. But I have seen many an Indian being made fun of for using these terms. :P
