These events sometimes sell out like mad. I remember when Madoka came, things sold out in minutes. With limited showings, it was tough. When GuP's movie was nearby a few months ago so few people showed up a ton of posters remained in excess afterwards. Felt bad since the movie was so good. They would probably have sold at the door for that, but I wouldn't leave it to chance. Your Name is the biggest anime movie in some time, but showing at a lot of locations. Really it'll be a gamble. |

Probably depends on the location. I looked at the SAO showtimes on the site of the theater I'm going to see it at the other day and both showtimes were sold out at that point (I'd already bought the ticket) so if you had wanted to get it on the day of the showing, you'd have been SOL. Also this seems to be a situation where doing things in percentage terms is misleading. They're only charging a dollar and change to let you reserve a spot beforehand. An exorbitant fee that is not. |

Anyone else have problems with Fandango? Neither my boyfriend or I can get tickets, even though we've tried different cards, different theaters, and different times.

Have tried to get tickets 3 times today. No luck so far. First couple of times the show times weren't set yet, latest time the whole thing just crashed... guess I'll have to wait some more. Seems like they should at least have all of the showtimes set before they open sales...

Sweet, it is playing near me! They seem to have a lot of theaters for this, I'll decide on a date/showtime closer to April 6th I suppose.
And Ben Pronsky is in it! I didn't know he was still doing dubbing, I'll be glad to hear his voice again! The Cro High dub wouldn't have been so epic without him! |

As someone who's seen it in theatres (Australia got it ages ago), I can confirm it is worth seeing in theatres even though it's just a tad overhyped. For the animation and direction alone it needs to be seen in the ultimate form.
I'm just sad I missed the Imax reshow. |

You may have to wait until the date gets closer, and they figure out the difference. For example, my local theater (which shows enough foreign fare to understand subtitles) is alternating sub/dub showings: 
EDIT: Also kind of amazing it'll get shows throughout the weekend, instead of the usual anime special event deal where there's one evening showing and that's it. |

I'm glad you guys in the US will be able to watch it soon. It really sucks that they took so long to get it out to you (in the UK we've had it since November for christ sake). It's a really good film, so those of you who didn't cave and download fansub or something will be rewarded, because it is an excellent experience seeing it for the first time on the big screen.

Darn it, the closest theaters around here only have screenings for one day, Friday. Guess I'll have to travel a bit to see it on Saturday or some other day.

Location is definitely the factor. I had no idea why they even had two theaters out here so close to each other (about a 5 minute drive), and third not too far. I checked the theater website, they were not sold out, so I went. It was about three quarters full. If they were sold out I would have just waited and bought the BD. This wasn't a movie I had to see no matter what, so I was not willing to pay extra for it. Your Name is playing for a week in most places in the US, as opposed to one showing on one night like SAO. My advice still stands, if there is a specific showing that you must go to, get tickets now as the fee is worth it. Otherwise I do not see the need to spend extra on the fee. There is one theater in my area that lets you pick seats when you buy tickets online, now that is worth the extra money. |

That's fair. I will say for SAO that they did have other days as well outside the fathom events one, albeit in a more limited number of theaters (which is how I saw it today).

Enjoy yourselves, everyone! On the day this film debuted over here, viewers at some screens were presented with the dubbed version despite the subtitled one being advertised. Enough time has elapsed to prevent any such mishaps in your cases, I like to think.

Sweet they are up now! Cineplex didn't have a page yet when Funi said tickets were on sale. Thanks for posting this. |

Damn, the theater I work at is showing this. We had Shin Godzilla and the DBZ films too, so I guess it shouldn't be that surprising, but it's still really cool!

Why is it every time anime movies I want to see in theaters either never play near me or play they (rarely) do it's just once at a time I just possible make? I'll end up having to buy this one to see it (just like with so many others~). It looks really good and I've heard nothing but good things about it so far, so at least it will be worth it.
