Wicked showings infested with singing audience members

Good!

I hope it scares off other potential movie goers.

I need to see this movie TANK.

Is this film and Cynthia Eviro, the new Everything, Everywhere all at once and Jamie Lee? It seems like every other thread now is some negative criticism about the project and/or the actor.

Absolutely.

And it is equally undeserving of any Academy Awards, just like EEAAO was.

But DEI helped EEAAO, and it will probably help Erivo.

Get a life.

Who wants to volunteer to be the one to tell R1 the news?

I was lucky to catch a matinee with hardly anyone else in attendance. And nobody made a peep.

They were all fast asleep.

Oh, hell naw!

Do a sing-a-long version, like Wicked is doing next month, if you want to sing along to the movie.

Anything to drown out Erivo's "voice."

Ugh. I was going to see this too, but this would piss me off (perhaps irrationally). If I want bad sing alongs, I'd go to a karaoke night at a bar.

I saw it in a packed theater. No one sang.

Calm down.

There was no singing in my theatre either, just clapping after the big numbers. I was in a packed theatre with a bunch of gays and teen girls who were freaking out, but no singing.

I saw it at 6pm yesterday (Monday). Not full but pretty crowded. Mostly adults. No one sang.

Can you hear the people sing?

Thanks R11, R12, and R13. I'll still go then.

I really like going to movies and am happy to see any movie succeed (Wicked or Fast & the Furious), but I am a real stickler for a semblance of good behavior while the movie is playing (no talking, no phones, and at least make an attempt to corral children's perhaps annoying behavior).

[quote]Cray concluded, “You wouldn’t sing at a Broadway show, so why would you sing at this movie?”

This pretty much sums it up.

Unless you've gone to a showing explicitly tagged as "sing along" then keep your trap shut.

Seen it twice. No singing audience.

If cinemas had any sense, they could easily screen sing along showings with "please don't sing along" showings.

[quote] Dwayne Johnson Says Sing in the Movie Theater If ‘You’ve Gone to a Musical and You’re Into It’: ‘Sing! You’ve Paid Your Hard Earned Money for a Ticket’

Dwayne Johnson is telling audiences to sing in the movie theater if they wish. The A-list actor and producer is reprising his voice role of the demigod Maui in Disney’s animated musical sequel “Moana 2,” in theaters Nov. 27. The blockbuster opening of “Wicked” sparked a debate on whether or not moviegoers should be able to sing out loud during a musical film. Some theaters outright asked its patrons to “please refrain from singing” during “Wicked,” for instance.

But Johnson feels differently, telling the BBC on the “Moana 2” red carpet: “Sing! You’ve paid your hard earned money for a ticket, and you’ve gone into a musical, and you’re into it. Sing.”

AMC Theatres spokesperson Ryan Noonan told Indianapolis Star during “Wicked’s” opening weekend that the theater chain asked moviegoers not to sing during the musical movie to prevent screening disturbances.

“AMC has a long-standing policy that prohibits disruptive behavior,” he told the publication. “The ‘Wicked’ preshow spot [which includes ‘no singing’] incorporates the themes of the film as a fun, engaging reminder to moviegoers to not disrupt the experience for those around them as they enjoy the show.”

Variety exclusively reported ahead of “Wicked’s” opening day that Universal Pictures would start screening a sing-along version of “Wicked” on Christmas. These are screenings where audience members are encouraged to sing. Until then, singing is not preferred as to not disrupt the experience for other ticket buyers.

“Wicked” star Ariana Grande was asked during the film’s press tour about audience members singing during the film, to which she said: “We understand it if you [sing]. We respect the feelings… but if someone throws popcorn at you, their phone or something, maybe stop.”

“Wicked” is now playing in theaters nationwide.

Wait till he does a theatre play…

Erm, no matter…

Stop posting pictures of this green bitch.

This is why we don't go see movies in...certain...neighborhoods.

Now I have a good reason to skip this mess.

The Wicked sing-a-longs will be epic!

R22 = First Lady Mamie Eisenhower

He's a MAGA cunt don't listen to this fake wrestler turned bad actor

Well, where was he when I got shushed for singing during "Schindler's List"?

I made out with my date during Schindler's List.

R29 is Grandma Yetta

Are people really singing or is it a publicity ploy? Like when horror movies get stories released about how people are fainting and vomiting?

This behavior is common in Generation Alpha and youngest generation Z kids, I wonder how movie sessions will be like twenty years from now.
