Attention BushCO! F9/11 tickets Friday night in NYC are SOLD OUT.

[Stephanie]

Pay heed, BushCO. You are officially SUNK.

Has anyone ever heard of ANY film selling out a week in advance of opening? Let alone a DOCUMENTARY?

NYC is on to you, BushCO. We are turning out in droves Friday night. We will NEVER forget what you did here.

Thank you Michael Moore! Don't let anyone say that art doesn't matter, that an artist can't make a difference. This Friday night, cinema changes everything.

1. OMFG!!!

Great!

[Renew Deal]

17. This movie will be big in NY.

The question is how big will it be outside NY

[Stephanie]

19. Isn't it doing well everywhere?

Don't they keep adding theaters? I don't know - I'm asking. That's what I thought DU'ers have been reporting.

[Tellurian]

30. Stephanie, have you heard- Bush is buying all the Lowes theaters..

via Carlyle..

[Stephanie]

Nooooo! Seriously?

God it is just freaking endless the lengths they will go to. Clear Channel owns Clearview Cinemas, right? If Carlyle buys Loews we will have nothing to watch but Stepford Wives forever. When is this happening? I guess it is too late to save Bush from Moore!

[Tellurian]

38. Yes, seriously.. heres the link

41. "Alleged war profiteer is Loews chain owner"

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1940&ncid=1990&e=6&u=/variety/20040621/va_fi_ne/alleged_war_profiteer_is_loews_chain

Alleged war profiteer is Loews chain owner

Mon Jun 21, 7:11 PM ET

Dana Harris, STAFF

In "Fahrenheit 9/11," Michael Moore (news) fingers Washington, D.C.-based private investment firm the Carlyle Group for war profiteering. The same Carlyle Group is now a co-owner of the Loews Theater chain which, as of Friday, will devote 59 of its screens to Moore's controversial documentary. <more>

[Zorra]

47. Is this maybe the beginning of a republican effort to

buy up all the theaters so they can control what people are permitted to see, so that movies like Farenheit 9/11 will no longer be a major threat to them?

Kind of scary.

[Stephanie]

2. To search for yourself:

http://www.f911tix.com/results.php?st=NY

They have added theaters in Brooklyn.

[WillyT]

3. You Can Go On-Line Through Fandango And Get Tickets !!!

At least for the shows still with seats available!

This is great news Steph!!!

Posted a thread about tickets 30 seconds before you. Great minds and all that rot!

:hi:

[Columbia]

4. A certain percentage of tickets are reserved for online sales

You can probably still get some tickets still if you go in person.

[Stephanie]

6. Regardless

This is a phenomenon. I've never seen anything like it. Have you?

[Columbia]

34. Movie tickets on the internet sell out?

Yeah, it happens a lot actually. More than you'd think. It is really a small percentage that they allow to be sold online.

[Stephanie]

35. Well it would be interesting to find out what the percentage is

Since they are so heavily promoting online sales for this film. I'd be curious to know how many they allocated.

[Columbia]

36. It depends on the movie theater

You don't want to strand the people who line up for the film and leave them without tickets, but it also makes sense to sell as many tickets as you can.

Usually it is a very low percentage, but if the theater wants, it can set aside a much higher percentage for online sales.

So, if you want to know exactly how many of the tickets are reserved for online sales, you will have to call up each indivdual theater to find out.

[Stephanie]

46. Well then hundreds of people have walked over to the box office

Because the Friday night shows are SOLD OUT for 7:30 and 10:00. If not bought online then people must have walked over there to buy, which I would say is kind of unusual.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

5. I hope it is still rocking the box office during the Repub Convention.

In Manhattan (and everywhere else), that is.

[Stephanie]

8. Oh, it will be

Plus artists all over town have special events planned to welcome our deluded guests. Here's one group:

[WillyT]

9. Man, That looks Like A Blast !!!

Wonder if there will be anything like it here on the left-coast???

:shrug:

[Stephanie]

15. We'll also have the CounterConvention

http://www.counterconvention.org/

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

12. New Yorkers rule. From a former Jerome Ave. Bronx boy.

And to think that these disgusting Repubs thought to gear their whole war and fascist campaign in the name of avenging New Yorkers, who reject them for the scum that they are.

[Stephanie]

22. Well I hope you'll be making a trip home in August

We'd love to see you. It's going to be a crazy summer.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

39. WE RULE!!!!!

All your conventions are ours! :)

Like I said last week, if you want this movie to do well, go to the 11AM showings. Build the hype early.

[tridim]

29. Moore should project it on the White House

just to piss off Rove.

Seriously, we should look for creative ways to get this film seen by everyone. Free viewings "In the Park" would be a great way to get it seen.

[Stephanie]

31. Love that!

Project it on the WH! And have a little gathering to sit in the park across the street to watch.

[faithnotgreed]

7. im in dc and a local theatre has it showing thru august 5th!

yeah a place right outside dc in silver spring maryland. they list it showing through 8/5 now that rocks!

[Stephanie]

10. Welcome to DU, faithnotgreed!

I guess the folks in DC have a few questions for BushCO. Even in the burbs!

[faithnotgreed]

11. thank you stephanie - im happy to be here - im seeing it here in dc

(ive said this already - sorry) at a theatre a few blocks from the white house on friday night - cant wait to see the crowds...

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

13. Silver Spring and the Montgomery Co. suburbs are overall liberal.

That's where I grew up and went to H.S. and my folks still live in G'burg. I miss it so. White Flint Mall, and Joe Gibbs once again the coach of the team.

[faithnotgreed]

14. yeah - montg co is pretty liberal and they try to get things done

i lived in takoma park for awhile and loved it. now im in dc and am thankful to be living where they see bush as a carpetbagger of sorts. i dont want to get into hyped rhetoric but i just appreciate that bush doesnt represent dc AT ALL!

[Stephanie]

16. Dear Michael Moore:

I will be on line at Loew's 19th Street at 7:00. Please stop by and say hi. I want to shake your hand.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

18. i'll be watching it in Woodstock Tinker Street theater...might even run

into art garfunkel there :7

[MidwestMomma]

20. Also, every state now has at least one theater showing the movie

That wasn't true a few days ago. Isn't that great!

[Stephanie]

23. Miramax just announced layoffs

I hope this turns things around for them. I hope the Weinsteins get FILTHY FREAKING RICH from this.

[Stephanie]

21. Can anyone answer my question? Has a film ever sold out in advance?

I've never heard of advance sales like this - has anyone else? I think it's a first.

[Zen]

24. I dunno, but I got my tickets a week early - I can't wait!!!!!!!

n/m

[Renew Deal]

25. Yes, lots of films.

All the big films do. Especially the really big ones. LOTR, Spiderman

[Stephanie]

27. A week in advance? Really?

Oh well. But I'm sure a DOCUMENTARY never has. Right?

[Renew Deal]

28. Right

I have never heard of a documentary with this many screens selling out days in advance. That's really something.

[Stephanie]

26. Oh, and the crowd went wild in the preview Saturday night.

Thunderous applause and cheers - for the PREVIEW. And that was at Stepford Wives (nuh-uh, don't bother, what a mess). Wooo hooooo!

[Eloriel]

32. Wow, that's pretty impressive too

Maybe more impressive. Applause and cheers - for a PREVIEW? Amazing.

[Stephanie]

33. Yeah, it was pretty cool

Although I was probably cheering the loudest.

[Stephanie]

37. poster

[Kathy in Cambridge]

40. My local theater-Harvard Square-is sold out too

and apparently F 9-11 is on two screens there...

[Stephanie]

42. Who got tickets for TOMORROW?

Anybody?

[Stephanie]

43. Opening first in NYC - TONIGHT

Who's going?

[Stephanie]

44. FYI - There is nothing available at the box office either

Needed more tickets and stopped by the theater - the 7:30 and 10:00 shows are sold out for Friday. Not just online sales - that theater is BOOKED SOLID. I'm confident the others are the same.

[opihimoimoi]

45. We can thank the Bushies and their attempt to stifle the movie

as usual, it had the opposite effect, drove the sales up.

[Wednesdays]

48. There will be one advance screening in Oklahoma City Thursday...

the tickets sold out in less than 2 hours. At $25 per ticket!
