Wicked showings infested with singing audience members

And entitled cunts like the one mentioned in an NYT article, some fat theater girl who thinks she should be allowed to sing because she waited soooooo long for this!

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.

[quote] Is this film and Cynthia Eviro, the new Everything, Everywhere all at once and Jamie Lee?

Absolutely.

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

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

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

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.

by Anonymousreply 16November 27, 2024 2:13 AM

Seen it twice. No singing audience.

by Anonymousreply 17November 27, 2024 2:26 AM

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.

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

by Anonymousreply 32November 27, 2024 9:14 PM

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