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!!:-)
