    I was at the 2:25 Showing in Carmel, Indiana.
    Estimate about 100 in attendance. Applause at the ending. Mostly an older crowd. 60's up.
    Personally, I was quite pleased with how the story was handled. The "project X" that took down the Tagart Bridge was not mentioned. Just a picture of the Bridge missing a span.

    I am amazed that Fandango gave it even 4 out of 5. I'll bet (and I'm Not a gambler) that if they were asked what the film was truly about, they couldn't come close. It's not going to attract a huge audience, but I attended a 2:10 matinee and there were 35 people in the audience. I have attended afternoon shows of mega-hits and I was the only one in the audience, so I thought that was pretty good. It's true that here in Florida we have an abundance of seniors who don't go out much at night, but I thought the afternoon attendance boded well for the overall attendance.

      The rating is based on customers who submit ratings. Since it is mostly the likes of those of us, not surprising.

      I hope you get to see the film soon.

        That explains why it wasn't 1 out of 5. I suppose I should save my ire for the Tube idiots. However, after over 50 years a Rand fan, I have encountered every negative proposition one could possibly hear. So, I'm cool. No, really, I'm cool. I'm Cool, Dammit!

    Unfortunately I don't think it will help. 20 people at the 7PM showing at my theater on opening night. I'm guessing the theaters aren't going to keep it long.

    Don't lose hope about a better remake. I know I'm not supposed to talk about religious stuff on an Ayn Rand worshippers site, but here goes. I read all of the Left Behind books even though I am Roman Catholic and we don't believe in the "rapture". I thought it was excellent science fiction and found them entertaining. Then again, I'm not put off by religious talk. The books were made into movies of not great quality, but I still enjoyed them. I always hoped someone else would come along and do a higher budget remake, even though Hollywood is NOT fair game for religious films. Low and behold, I saw an ad for the movie coming out October 15th - LEFT BEHIND - starring Nicholas Cage and an all-star cast! My first thought was what the hell was Nicholas Cage doing in a Christian film?! No matter, I bet they do a great job and I will definitely watch it. It's taken well over 10 years that I can recall for this remake, and there are already plans in the works for the next 2 films that were also previously made. The only actor not resigned is Nicholas Cage.

    I can finally say that all their had their moments of profundity. But as far as movies go -- for the general population -- I can see why they were so disappointing.

    When will I be able to order my DVD?

    I attended a 2:20 pm showing in Tulsa, Oklahoma on opening day. I was the only one in the theater initially, but eventually half-a-dozen others came in. The film was as much a disappointment as was the low turnout. I'm now more motivated than ever not to rely on a movie, but go to the book for my inspiration.

    There were only 10 folks in the theater for opening night (9pm). Looks like it pulled in half a million over the weekend ... I doubt that it will remain showing in theaters for long. As for me, it was a disappointment -- too short, low production values, no Hank Rearden, too many shots of trees in the Gulch (although I am very much an outdoors type). And still, I will make it to the theater to see it again... It required a couple viewings of AS parts 1 and 2 for me to "click" with the characters, interactions and pacing -- essentially to dial-into the director's treatment of the material. I sure hope that someone with deep pockets remakes these pictures over the next 10-20 years. Cheers.
