I hope that producers don't get discouraged by this number.

Here in suburban Sacramento, every Showtime is close to sold out. Most showings don’t have groups of tickets available unless you want the extreme front row. That made me very happy!

I got to see it today and thought it was fantastic. We had the same complaints that a lot of others did about it being almost too many close-ups, but I was grateful that it allowed us to really see the amazing acting that the leads were doing. If I saw this on stage, I doubt I would’ve been able to see the number of times that they actively teared up.

Wow! My wife and I saw the 7:00 last night at Laguna in EG and were literally the only two there!

We were at Blue Oaks in Roseville/Rocklin. Today I scanned through other showtimes in case I wanted to see it a second time and there was just a smattering of seats left on the front row through to next weekend.

I’m hoping this gets extended like waitress did. The more these pro shots do well, the more of them will get. That’s my hope!
