The 700 seat Cinema Center Theater(the largest in town now that the Indians Hills was demolished) had very few people in it for the 5 o'clock matinee. I don't know if it was the bad publicity from the christian jihads or the after effects of the Wednesday shooting. Strange there were no preview trailers. I loved the film from the first moments. By far the best film I've seen this year. I hope the film does well, or the next two books won't be filmed.
Anybody else seen it? What did you think?

Just got home from the movie...LOVED it. |

no jihadis at my theater either, but not crowded at all for an 8 p.m. show. We are in Michigan though and the economy is depressed. the theaters have been almost vacant for months.

1. Haven't seen it yet... I'm waiting until I go home for xmas to see it with my younger sister |
|
I recently read the book though... it's WONDERFUL! One of the best I've read in a while (Lyra is officially in my top 10 list of BEST FICTIONAL CHARACTERS EVER!).

7. Goggle Indian Hills Theater |
|
I was the Chairman of the small local group that fought so hard for two months to save it. I still have a couple pristine autographed shirts around here somewhere we used for raising funds. There is a documentary on DVD available with the full story. It has played around the country at film festivals.

Indian Hills was a big part of my adolescence. I was sorry when it was gone.

9. In my youth I fought to save the Omaha too |
|
So did one of the other Ih Preservation society members. The Omaha was a landmark and so much more than the Orpheum.

No protests in NYC.
I liked it okay. Didn't love it. But, I did think that there were elements of it that were great.
