Interesting. The theatre I was in was at 80% capacity for the showing. Makes me wonder becaus ethe figures were lower than I expected.

Damn! I tossed mine out after watching it on the weekend. Anyone else have theirs?

I saw the last show at a popular theater at 9:40 PM on Saturday night. 7 other people came to the film. It wasn’t very funny. I only chuckled a few times and I like the Naked Gun movies and Airplane. I was certain I would love this film but most of the funny lines I saw on the TV ads. It’s a bad film.

I believe it is not disenfranchisement, but perhaps fraud against the distributors or producers of the movie.

didn’t happen here in nw austin...our tickets clearly said “american carol” and pg-13

we live in a really conservative area though, so I wouldn’t expect them to pull something like that here...

I didn’t bother to read what our tickets said but husband did say that he had been told over the phone that it was $5 admission only to be charged $6 each when we got there.

I didn’t care about the extra dollar till now. Now I wonder what movie we really paid for and what movie got to count us as their viewers.

I saw the movie right in the belly of the beast (San Francisco). I still have the stubs and they clearly show “An American Carol”. I was at a mega-huge complex “The Metreon” so it’s doubtful such a fraud would occur at a place of this size, perhaps some of the smaller theaters.

I saw AAC Mon night. There were 8 people in the theatre at the 7:40 showing. My stub reflects the correct info.

I liked the movie. It’s not great, but there are some good lines but they don’t come quite fast enough. I won’t ruin any. It’s rather short, less than 80 minutes w/o credits. There is a 20-second clip after the credits run, but no loss if you don’t want to hang around.

I believe that in most if not all states such activity would be criminal fraud and depending upon the amount of money fraudulently sent to other production companies, could net the perps a lengthy stretch in jail.

I saw the movie at the AMC Easton Town Center 30 in Columbus, Ohio - one of the largest (if not the largest) multi-plexes in the area. I asked for a ticket to “An American Carol,” at the box office, but was instead given one to “Miracle at St. Anna.” I noticed it immediately and got it replaced by the correct ticket.

My ticket was correct. And on Saturday night, there were less than 25 people in a room that could hold a couple hundred.

As for the acting, the plot and the script?

IT SUCKED !

Truly.

I mean people still quote Airplane 20 years later.

This won’t even be an Astrix 20 years from now.

One of the worst lamest saddest movies I have seen in all my life.

A waste of money.

With “conservatives” making movies this bad it is no wonder we’re getting our arses handed to us in Hollywood.
