Ever came so close to seeing a movie in the theaters but didn't and regret it?

Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D. I really wanted to watch that but I went and watched Darjeeling Limited instead then I never got around to going to the theater again since I was so turned off by my theater experience during Darjeeling Limited (see General behavior at movie theaters thread if you're curious).

DVD Talk Gold Edition
Disney's Dinosaur.
When it was in pre-production, I had read it was going to be done along the lines of an old Disney-style pseudo-documentary (like the original Incredible Journey) with a Rex Allen type voiceover, and I was really looking forward to it. Then I learned it was going to have "talking" dinosaurs (like the Incredible Journey remake) and I completely lost interest. With the exception of Babe, I've found talking animal flicks to be total turn-offs.
A year later I picked up the DVD (to round out my Disney collection) and decided to view it just out of curiosity. What a surprise. Despite the turn-off of the talking dinos, it was visually stunning. The opening sequence must have incredible on a big screen. I could kick myself for not seeing it in a theater.
