Is it still showing where YOU live?

If I remember, NEMESIS was showing in just one budget/discount theater by January of 2003. It folded that fast.
 
Five local theatres with about 12 showings total are still running it (probably the same or a bit less in the French language theatres).
 
It moved straight from the good theaters to the dollar theaters, which is suprising because there is normally a turn-around time between the good theater and the cheap theaters. Hopefully it stays there a while.
 
It's still playing stong here, almost 2 months later. Last night it was packed for the 7pm showing, people chuckled like they'd never seen it, and I saw a 10 year old boy sit, entranced at the screen for over 2 hours. :)

And they clapped at the end. 5th viewing for me, and they've clapped every single time I've seen it. :D
 
My AMC is down to just 5 showings a day in one small 90 seat theater. Its still got movies like Angels and Demons, Terminator, and Night at the Museum beat.

The theater I was in yesterday was completely packed. Though it felt like my friends and I were the only ones who still crack up at the appropriate moments.
 
doggeh can speak for me, since his was the theater I switched to when the two I was using left. There were quite a few others still showing it around Chicagoland last week; but I haven't checked lately.

I like the sound of that.
 
There was about 10 other people in with me last night, but that was the 10:30 show on a Friday night when most people were at Public Enemies and Transformers - those 10 people were there specifically to see Trek, and I was there early and they were there before me!

It was great seeing it again :)
 
Hopefully these legs mean a more powerfully front-loaded sequel... with the same legs.

Something like... Transformers?

(except with a good story)
 
The only first-run theater it's still at around here is the one a mile down the street from my house - two showings per day. I feel kinda bad, because I'm big on rewarding good behavior with my consumer dollar, and all the theaters I've given all my money to have dropped the movie, while I've only seen the movie once at the local theater that still has it. But I'm not going there anytime soon, not when the movie is still in IMAX at the aquarium.

All I could think of was "The franchise's safe. Thank you, JJ!!!!!"

It's so cool - now there's a chance there'll be Trek movies being made when my kids are old enough to see them in the cinema (little miss trampledamage went for her first ever visit to the cinema the other week to see Up!) - I am so looking forward to family visits to see Trek.
 
Why would I want it to be family friendly? I mean seriously I don't want some kid whining or talking throughout the movie. You get enough of those with R's.

I don't think I'd like to know what my childhood would've been like without seeing ST II-!V. And I'd hate to see that little boy I watched last night miss out on a sequel.

But given how much he liked this one, I don't think his dad would say not to bringing him. :rommie:
