I'm running a bit late again -

At the theater where the Spouse and I saw it, the credits cut a 
little more than half a minute in.  There were still about ten people 
in the theater, counting the two of us.  After shouting at the 
projectionist's booth, the Spouse went and got one of the sweeping-up 
staff, who made a phone call to the control room and got them started 
back up again.  We went and complained to a manager afterwards, who 
was somewhat dismissive, although he did apologize - his guess was 
that the automated projection system for that particular theater had 
decided to quit early, and he promised to have the daytime staff look 
into it the next day.

The Spouse and I are debating whether to try and find out which 
theaters in our area have live projectionists and which have one 
overworked guy watching a bank of fifteen automated systems from some 
master control room.
