My showing was both sold out and really old and the Love, Simon trailer got a ton of laughs at the end ("I'm heterosexual, mom." "OH GOD HELP ME JESUS!" :lol:).

I still remember when I got the trailer at TGS last month, the generations were totally divided: teens liked it while seniors hated it :lol:

Do you plan on wearing a trench coat to see that movie when it comes out (lol) so that nobody will spot you? :rofl:

Judging by your crowd, the seniors are gonna turn Peter Rabbit and No Ship, Sherlock into $300M grossers. Mankini, his powah!

I got the Peter Rabbit trailer before three movies over the holidays (Greatest Showman, Jumanji, Pitch Perfect) and it had the audience at each of them in stitches somehow. So yeah, big numbers incoming.

Proud Mary

1:50

I'm not sure how full it was, we got in during the end of the last trailer.

 

Trailers, I'm actually typing this before I see it, these are guesses...let's see, am I right?

Red Sparrow

Black Panther

Rampage

Tomb Raider

A Quiet Place

 

I have no idea, there was an unusually long line filled with old people excited! about Greatest Showman and The Post and Three Billboards. We came in at the tail end of the Slender Man trailer, with no response. 

 

A lady came up to me and asked if I would buy her ticket too and I said "No????" until my mother called me (she was getting popcorn inside, in reality we could have snuck in!) and said she knew her. The guy at the box office was like "It's in theater eleven...but you knew that." and this movie has collectible tickets! We got the last three for our theater.

 

There were some laughs, some OOHs, mostly indifference. 

 

Spoiler

When that dude is being tortured with the nail gun I kept remembering that Young Conservatives twitter that asked "What kind of #Gun would #Jesus have?" and "Consider yourself blocked," when someone said "A nail gun." so I was trying not to laugh out loud there.

Decent laughs at appropriate times but a small crowd. That said, I was crying through the entire end and during the credits, I noticed most of my friends were crying too.

Avengers: Infinity War - excitement when it began, some clapping when the Guardians showed up.

 

I put all the claptimes in the spoiler thread when it first came out, but this was a very excited audience that was really into it. Huge laughs, a lot of cheer moments, and a large applause at the end of the film. I would've never guessed its WOM from this screening.

A much less reactive audience than my first go-around. The people behind me were audibly scoffing at points, although they also stuck through the credits to listen to the John Williams score. Still, had some laughs and scattered applause at the very end.

Some laughs at points. Two interesting things though: a rowdy group of teenagers talked throughout the first half hour then abruptly left, never to return, and with maybe 35 minutes left in the movie, a woman in front of me left, returned with a child at age 10 and had that kid play on her iPhone the whole time. Usually I'd be like "please stop," but since there was legitimately rape, graphic violence, and other disturbing stuff going on screen, I let the kid and woman be.

The audience laughed a lot and was silent during sad parts. However, I just gotta shout out the kid behind me who asked very earnestly "is he dead?" in a scene where I'm pretty sure Hector was the only one on screen, and if it wasn't then, it was Miguel surrounded by like 8 dead characters lmao

Some laughs here and there. An older woman went "Wow" after Never Enough and some douchebag teenagers mimicked her. Actually, those douches were there for a ton of it, and they really lacked any proper decorum, yelling DAMN during fights and shit like that. Annoyed me even though I didn't like the movie.

Small laughs at points, but it was a smaller crowd anyway. I liked the kid who shouted "Shiny!" when Miguel found Ernesto's guitar in the first act and who happily exited with his dad while the other five people in the theater were collectively sobbing during the end credits.
