Well ORIGINALLY midnight screenings were often for weird cult movies like Eraserhead and El Topo and sleazy horror films.

What was the last major movie to not have Thursday night showings other than kids movies like KFP3?

The closest was MOS with their exclusive Walmart previews. The rest of the showings were midnight only.

Certainly gave those first screenings more flair and excitement. They felt unusual, special. Now they're just another Thursday night.

It's funny, but almost every time I broach the subject of seeing an opening movie on Thursday, people still automatically assume that it will be at midnight. And it can be a struggle to get them to understand it's at 7PM.

 

"Wanna see the new movie tonight?"

"Hmmm, midnight is awfully late for me on a workday."
"Actualy it starts at 7."

"Ummm, no, the movie comes out on Friday."

"Nope, they do showtimes that early nowadays."

"......But that's dumb; the movie opens on Thursday, not Friday."

 

Fuck Hollywood, is basically what I'm saying. Maybe in 5 years, all of Thursday will just be part of the weekend and we'll have midnight showings Wednesday night as the norm.

I hope this movie bombs, Marvel sucks!

BvS rules!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just kidding. I don't watch CBMs 

BTW. Are these two fighting each other? They look angry. Hence civil war in the title. Sounds like a remake of a March release that had 'vs' in the title.

I'm convinced that if Sarandon lives to be 100 she will still be a stunning-looking woman.

Sucks we can never go back to real midnight showings, isn't that right Gitesh??? Kids of today have it so much better... You used to have to actually go opening day to see the first showing.

None of the Thursday screening I have been have been as much fun as a midnight screening. Theaters barely let anyone dress up. There is no huge wave of an excitement that there used to be.  Plus I think digitial projects kinda ruined it since theaters will show 10-30 showing of a movie in one night  basically most screens are not sold. Lastly Reserve seating which I love but it means no waiting showing up 10-15 minutes before the show time.
