How uncanny! I was just stewing over this subject this weekend!!!
CoS is gone from all but a very few (maybe 3) suburban theatres here
in Philadelphia, Pennsylania. I had planned to see it again ( It
would have only been my third time )on Saturday, but looking at the
weekend listings, found it was not showing anywhere in the immediate
city area...:-(
When CoS came out, I had visions of blissful after-work sessions at
the movie theaters after the holidays. BUT right after Christmas all
showings were cut to matinees only-all before 3pm--so the only time I
could go was on the weekends and-wouldn't you know-until recently my
weekends have been hectic hell. With the movie showing only twice
before 3, there was no way I could see it. Now I really can't wait
for the DVD!!!
I was wondering, just who orchestrates these movie timings? Since
school children aren't allowed in theatres (w/o an adult) during
school hours, and MOST adults are working and don't usually have a 3-
4 hour block to skip off work--just who did they think would be in
the theatres during those hours?
Makes me wonder if CoS would have had a much bigger gross if not for
the matinee status? I'm sure many more adults would have liked to
see it and/or take their children to see it at a more resonable time
than the theatres were showing. The one Saturday I did get to see it
the theatre(2nd(last)showing of the day)was packed.
Sorry this is so long-but I really,really,really wanted to see CoS
this weekend and I'm frustrated!!! Come on April!!:-)
