Don't know if this passes the smell test.

Why would the theater hang a "sold out" sign on a theater with only four seats filled.

What would stop the theater from selling an additional 10 seats even if it was sold out, unless the ticket program is programmed to stop selling tickets once the seats are all bought?

Anybody know the answer to that question?

There could be a reason for this to happen, and an explanation. If BBM and another movie had the same distributor, switching one for the other might be profitable for the theater, especially if the distributor is paying more for BB< than the other movie.

"Sold Out" would mean they had hit their limit on how many tickets they could divert to BBM.

It would help to know what movie was playing besides BBM, and if it had the same distributor.

Ironically I answered that question in the very next post.
