And even further, only those exact same two seats are ‘taken’ for every single showing.

I thought for sure the after church showings tomorrow would be at least somewhat full, but nope.

    My guess might be that much of the audience buys a ticket when they show up. I know that’s probably what I would do. Especially if I saw ahead of time that I can choose any seat.

      I think you still have to buy a specific seat if you buy at the theater otherwise it would break the system if anyone did buy an assigned seat after you.

      I just checked the 9pm showing and it’s still showing an empty theater 3 min before start.

          Our town only has two theaters and only this one has assigned seats. It’s only showing this, that Reagan movie and Beetlejuice. I couldn’t find any seats that had been sold…

          However my wife and I went to see Deadpool a week or two ago and the theater was as full as I’ve seen a theater since Covid.

          Not sure what my point is?

          But, ‘Yes!’ Also ‘No!’…

          In conclusion, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          For some comparison, wife and I went to a Tuesday noonish showing of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and there were more than 8 people. So, at a time slot that would be totally understandable to have 1-2 people at a showing, there were way more than for this waste of digital space.
