In theaters?

[Theresa]

This is interesting information Jodi. Thanks. I remember when GOF was 
coming out. They said it would show before some kid's movie (sorry 
cannot remember which one) so when my son's said they might like to 
see this certain film (which I thought looked silly), I went with 
them hoping to see it. Alas, it didn't play and yes the movie was 
silly. So afterward, I asked and the guy at the information booth 
(this was an AMC Mega-theater by the way) said that they get trailers 
in and it was the manager's discretion which ones to put it with but 
he thought they had put it with that particular film. So now that I 
know they only get so many copies it makes sense that we didn't get 
to see it as there were about 30 seperate screening rooms in this 
theater. So maybe it was in one of the other two showing that silly 
movie - a friend of mine took her kids two days earlier than I did 
and saw the trailer and her kids are not Harry fans (neither is she) 
but she was who I had heard it from so I was willing to go to the 
movie I didn't really want to see in hopes of the trailer.
