Ever been alone in a theater?
 

Yesterday i went to see the movie funny people with my dad at a second run theater. Place was completely empty. I think that's only happened one other time. Movie was good so unfortunately we didn't get to rip into the film mst3k style :( But we still had a good time talking as loud as we wanted . Anyone else have the pleasure of being the only one in the theater or with a friend/family member?

I thought I was alone before...

Windtalkers with a buddy of mine... and I almost walked out.

Red Rock West, with a friend. I recall us moving around during the film a few times, goofing off.

I went with 2 friends to see 'Bringing on the Dead' or whatever that Scorcese movie was called, and it was us and 2 other people. It was the strangest movie theater experience I ever had!

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

several times. Final Destination and Punch-Drunk Love spring to mind.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

Yes, I went to go see Blindness by myself on the last day of its run. I was the only one in the theater. Needless to say it was pretty creepy and cool.

I tried to see Basic Instinct as a kid (with a friend) and bought tickets for The Power of One. We waited in Basic Instinct for it to start, but were so early that they checked our tickets and made us go to The Power of One. We were the only ones in there.

Everytime I expect to be alone in a theater, some random person wanders in and ruins it. I don't think I've ever been totally alone.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

Spacehunter was the first time (It was just me & my dad---And the 3-D glasses)

I think Godzilla 2000 was the last time.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

I saw Spider-Man 3 (I know) on a Wednesday opening week and I was the only one there. Pretty strange for a big-budget movie on opening week.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

Damn you! Everytime I walk into a theater, expecting to be alone there always this random person already in there!

Just to ruin his movie going experience in further, I sit right behind him. Take that!

The Abyss. Second run theater afternoon showing. I was the only one in the theatre. Seemed kind of creepy after awhile.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

My friend and I were the only people in the theater for the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie at a matinee on a Friday the second weekend it was out. Also ended up being the last man standing at a Tuesday evening showing of Be Kind Rewind opening week.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

I wish I'd been the only one at my screening of THE ABYSS. In fact, I wish I hadn't been there! Horrible movie. We all kept waiting for the plot to kick in. And it never did!

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

I went to see THE REF at a Times Square theater hoping there'd be a nice crowd to laugh with. No such luck. I was the only one.

I went to a downtown theater on a weeknight to see a children's film that I was assigned to review: DIGIMON THE MOVIE. I was the only one there. Which was okay. It felt like I was having a private screening. And no kids to make noise.

It was my second time to see it as it's my favorite Cameron film. Reading Orson Scott Card's novelization helped give me better appreciation for the film prior to the director's cut.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

Regularly. Then again, when you see three or four movies a week, and your primary times are matinees, the odds increase slightly.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

Several times I thought it was going to happen, but it never has. The first I remember was Tremors. Were in there alone until some people walked in during the trailers. The most recent was Bruno. I was by myself until right before the movie started and then like 10 people walked in. I used to day time weekday matinees so quite frequently there would only be me and a few other people in the theater.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

My friend and I were the only ones in the theater when we saw Sukiyaki Western Django on opening day. There were two other people there before the movie started, but they left before the trailers and never came back.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

I went to see Small Time Crooks, was alone in the theater, and the movie never started.
When I finally went out to ask, they said they forgot anyone was in there, so they never bothered to start the show.
I asked for my money back, and I got a refund and a free ticket for the future.

My wife and I watched Shadow of the Vampire alone.

Dance with Me... and to be honest, i got a BJ in the middle of the stairs in the stadium seating theater... it was great

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

About two times in my life and omg it's the best. No assholes around with cellphones or munching loud on popcorn like they eating shit.

And no babies crying etc

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

My dad and I went to see Star Trek:First Contact about three weeks after its release and got a private screening.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

I think it happened once for me. ONe of the Wayne's World movies, we went in and they refunded our money and gave us free tickets.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

Halloween night, Night of the Living Dead (Savini remake). I was very nervous through the entire show that some joker would sneak in and try to scare me.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

My girlfriend and I saw Harry Potter - Order of the Pheonix by ourselves. It was a matinee.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

Some that I can remember off the top of my head, I am pretty sure I have more.

Better Luck Tomorrow (by myself)
Duck Season (by myself)
Elephant (with a friend)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (with a friend opening weekend)
Mamma Mia! (with my girlfriend at the time, sadly no blowjob on the stairs)

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

After work, I was no transportation for 2 hours, so I walked to the theater and saw The Collector, I was kind of excited to see it alone, but 100% of the audience hated it.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

I saw Tales from the Crypt: Bordello of Blood alone in the theater on my 19th birthday back in 1996. What a life I led,lol.

More recently, I saw The Strangers in an empty theater. I bailed out of work early and caught a matinee. The theater being empty added to the overall creepiness of the movie. I nearly jumped out of my skin a few times.

Seeing Fulci's Zombie in a low rent neighborhood theater back in '79 is the only time I can recall. Sat up near the front and spent most of the film glancing back over my shoulder.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

My girlfriend and I saw White Noise in an empty theater.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

Twice. The first time was during the aptly titled Unknown, the second was for The Savages.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

happened to me a few times, the being when I was 11 and my mom and I went to see Billy Madison. The other ones I remember were Mickey Blue Eyes and Zach and Miri Make a Porno

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

From time to time. Once, when I saw the Powerpuff Girls Movie, I was the only one. Then again with Toy Story 2 and more recently with Up!. Seems the best time to see animated movies I want to see are in the middle of the afternoon when the screaming brats aren't anywhere near the theater.

When I went to Anything Else with a friend once, we were the only two in the theater.

I hope when I see the new Harry Potter movie later this week that nobody is there...I've waited a few weeks to enjoy that luxury and I hope it pays off.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

Saw Almost Heroes with my girlfriend in an empty theater, really don't remember much.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

I only recall the Patriot being empty besides from me and my dad (small town theater). And Golden Compass (big city theater) had only two other people besides me and a friend. That's been the closest.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

I'm like KillerCannibal, I always think I'm going to be alone and somebody walks in, sometimes up to 15 minutes into the movie. I try to think ahead and figure out what days and times it would be least crowded, but it's only happened three times. Jeepers Creepers, which only happened because it was a mid-week matinee and the AC was broken in the theater so there wasn't another soul in the entire building. Recently I caught Mirrors and Coraline by myself though, Coraline especially was awesome in 3D without any distractions.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

When I was in high school my friend and I were the only ones in the theater when we went to see Blue Crush.

Re: Ever been alone in a theater?
 

Only time I was completely alone was when I saw Sin City.

And there were a couple of time when there was only one other person. Waking Life and a double feature of Out of Sight and The Faculty.
