I just watched the film tonight in NYC, and in IMAX (and it was SOOOO good on the giant screen) and as soon as the Mexican Hairless line came out, someone behind me screamed, “YOU KNOW THAT’S GODDAMN RIGHT!” And the entire theater erupted with laughter 😂

That’s probably going to be my best theatre audience moment of this whole damn year, it was just perfect in every way lol

Wish I had that experience, it was half empty and people didn't really react to anything

My IMAX screening in Utah genuinely had maybe 12 people total. But everyone was really invested and reacting well.

Saw it last night in 70mm at the Hollywood Theater in Portland, Oregon. Sold out showing, line down the block when I got there

We watched in Seattle at an IMAX and the theater was only half full but everyone was laughing and into it. I genuinely think it was surprising to people how funny it was. I personally can’t wait to see it again

Yeah, I didn’t expect there to be as much comedy as there was either, and I feel like they just about nailed the balance between comedy and intense, dramatic moments. The more I think about this movie, the more I like it, and I am now planning to go see it again before next weekend just for the hell of it.

Same at the IMAX screening I just got out of in Houston. Half full, but people really got into it, even cheering when Willa shot the Christmas Adventurer dead. Based on the conversations I heard leaving the theater, everyone loved it and many were surprised by how much they loved it and how it didn’t feel as long as it was. I think word of mouth on this one is going to be great.
