Can't wait!

I'm pissed off that it'll only be shown on Thursday nights...

Still pumped though.

[rufus]

It would have been smater to show it on the weekends.

I've seen Ghostbusters in the theater pretty much every Halloween for the past 6-7 years.

What's with this "Retro movie trend"? The Lion King was #1 at the box office this past weekend; Titanic will be back in 3D early next year, and I thought Ghostbusters 3 was to be out by now! At least release a sequel (or even a remake), please!

[Brodie]

Pssshhhh, sold.

Back to the Future in the theaters last October was fantastic, I'm all over this.

[Fugitoid Jones]

I doubt it will come to any of the theaters in VT. I'd kill to see Ghostbusters on the big screen!

Has anyone checked their local listings and found anything yet? Nothing near me has it listed yet, getting worried :(

Yeah, nearest one to me is about a 4 hour drive. :ohwell: :ohwell: :ohwell:

[ToTheNines]

I found one 30 minutes away, which is nice but it's at a freakin Alamo Drafthouse, and those things can get pricey.

Not a problem for me, just that my less geeky friends probably won't wanna pay a ton to see a movie that they kinda like lol. I'll just have to be the designated driver I guess.

Yep! It's playing at the theatre up the street from me! :D

Today's the day!

Got my ticket for the one-time 7pm showing. Was surprised the Kingstowne cinema here in Springfield is playing it.

Deliberating on wearing my Ghostbusters jumpsuit. I usually only break that thing out on Halloween, but when will I ever get another chance like this?

[rav4ge]

Nice, I'd totally go and see this in theatres. Probably going to be little to no showings in my area (Vancouver, Canada), but I'll stay optimistic.

[ToTheNines]

It's against my better judgement, but I'm going next week.

[gobo]

I'm thinking this is probably a fund-raiser to convince the studio to let 'em make a 3rd, so I'd really like to go all three weeks, but I have no way to get there today. :( A lot of folk wouldn't be able to make it because of work-related issues, I bet.

[DrSpengler]

Glad I opted not to wear my jumpsuit to the showing; only 6 other people in the theater. Bummer.

Still, it was really cool to see it on the bigscreen. Like seeing it for the first time. And Stay Puft is so much more epic when he's genuinely humongous.

For those who went and saw it, Can you buy a ticket at the theater or is it only online thing and is the ticket cost normal fee or is it higher?

I bought it at the theater.

Normal admission (mine was $11.50, which is kinda a BS price for a rerelease of a 27 year-old movie). I shouldn't have even bought the ticket, anyway. Theater was so understaffed no one even tore my ticket on the way in. I just walkd in through the doors, straight to the theater, sat down and watched the movie.

[rufus]

Thank you for the info.

[ToTheNines]

Frickin awesome. If you haven't gone, do yourself a favor and catch it next Thursday. I literally had a grin on my face the entire time, it was so awesome to see on the big screen.

As for the crowd, I'd say it was at least 20 people in the theater (counting my friends and I). And I'm pretty sure I was the only person with a Ghostbusters shirt. Definitely no jumpsuits or proton packs lol
