Hey Bang...which theater was this?
I am going to check this out on Sunday and wanted to know what IMAX was accepting these passes.
The Lincoln?

Went last night, totally forgot that it was a weekend and that theaters can sell out.
I usually go to matinees during the week. Got there at 1930, had to wait until 2200 for an open 300 show. Ended up using two of my freebies and saw Zodiac for free also.

Too bad you can't use it towards concessions. After all its movie cash for theaters. I guess the movie studios don't like the idea of paying $10 for a soda too.

Used 3 of mine for the girl and a friend last night.
Worked with no issues (though one of those taking tickets just looked confused when I handed them to him. The lady next to him in the booth pulled them away and said she'd get us set and quickly got us tickets.
too bad the movie was crap.

The movie cash worked fine for me, and I was surprised that the cashier wrote the actual price of the ticket ($10.00) in the amount box. I thought that they would instruct their employees to write the maximum value in the box, which, in this case, would be $10.50.

I enjoyed both movies, but won't spoil anything, heading to the movie forum to discuss......

Used one of the 300 tickets to get into a statuim seating multiplex...
Watched "Wild Hogs" which was excellent and then decided to go next door and watch "Nightrider" which was VERY bad...
Didn't even see 300 yet {hehe}
Oh, on the way to the movies, I stopped at the BestBuy that still had the 300 promos and got 4 more for free without any other purchase...

So it seems the movie has set a record for a March opening weekend with huge revenue per screen that was showing it. $70,000,000 in ticket sales including all the free Best Buyers cashing in their tickets. Yet the 2 professional reviews I've heard of have been indifferent or highly negative. Well I'll use my Movie Cash to see for myself.

I saw it today..thanks Op...took a date...can't beat a free movie for two ...I enjoyed it for what it is-would have enjoyed more if they had more color like the wheat field scene.....some good rhetoric/lines..for those of you who have not seen the Original 300 Spartans is defintely worth a watch also.

Futile question coming up....
The nearest Best Buy is 70 miles away from me, so I wasn't able to get any of these. If anyone has any extra, would it be possible to send one or two to me (the tickets mainly but I would like one of the bonus discs)? I will pay the shipping via Paypal. This is mainly directed towards the people who may have stocked up on them (10 or more) and have some left even after passing them out to friends. I assume the answer will be no but I'm sure there's some of you that have 20 laying around. I would appreciate it if any of you extremely nice and generous people could help me out.
