We thought there would be crowds this afternoon, and had bought our tickets in advance and arrived early, but the showing we saw was lightly attended, at most 1/3 full. Everyone got the seats they wanted!
This was at a low-tech-visuals screening, due to our taking fairly young children (6-year-olds), and my problem with throwing up.

We’ll discuss it at Tolkien’s Birthday Party on January 3, when we meet for Thematic Snacks and the last hurrah of the Hobbit Club.
