My daughter went to see it yesterday, and she reported that she and 
her friend were basically thrown out of the theatre while the 
credits were running, because the cleaning staff had moved in and 
wanted to sweep up, so they weren't able to see the final scene.  I 
think that's outrageous, but young people are easier to intimidate - 
they'd better not try that on ME the next time I go to see it at the 
same theatre.
