Default True movie fans see new movies on opening Thursday night. True or false?

Discuss.

True. A true fan braves the snow, rain and humidity to get to a midnight SW film.

True movie fans are interested in the process and behind-the-scenes aspects of the movies. Even if they don't watch it on Thursday

True movie fans don’t use Moviepass, they rent out a whole theater to control their own sound, projector lighting levels, clean the screen, they bring their own seat, no food, no moving, they sit still and absorb the whole movie. That’s what a true movie fan. Anything less and you are a dirty poseur!

We were the only two in the theatre for Eighth Grade yesterday at the first 5pm showing. True fans only.

False. Usually only big event movies open on Thursday nights. Those for the masses.

I've been to my share of first shows. Doesn't mean that I am not a true fan of something if I don't do it anymore.

-I went to The Dark Knight's midnight show and Logan's Thursday preview because I was extremely impatient. They actually had 8 screens filled for TDK; apparently I wasn't the only one. Logan only had about 150 people.
-I saw MiB3 at a midnight opening because I just happened to be getting out of work at 11:30 and figured why not. There were like four other people there.
-I didn't see The Force Awakens until the next day because I was too tired. Doesn't mean I am not a real Star Wars fan. It might have even been Saturday, I don't remember. Still pretty full.

I think the phrase "true movie fans" is dumb.

Not true. I see A24 movies on Thursday pre-screenings with some frequency.

nope true/smart movie fans wait till the Tuesday after it comes out and take advantage of 6 dollar ticket Tuesday depending if your theater does that or not.

Take your “true” fan nonsense and get out of here. I barely see movies in the theater anymore so I guess I’m not a “true” fan. Guess that tens of thousands of movies I’ve watched in my life and all the collecting I’ve done has been for nothing.

True movie fans only go to the red carpet premiers in Hollywood, by any and all means necessary.

if the title was changed to "the first week" of release I would tend to agree...

but opening Thursday night?-- fan or not, people have lives, jobs, responsibilities that may very well stop that from happening. It doesn't mean you're not a "true" movie fan, (whatever that actually means...)

True movie fans stand in front of the screen, undress and rub honey all over their naked body as the rest of the audience looks on.

True movie fans get restraining orders filed against them from their favorite Actor/Director.

You’re not a true movie fan until you’ve engaged in a lightsaber duel while waiting in line.
