@z_everson He's a habitual liar so of course it's not selling out.

Seating chart for the 7:45pm opening night showing of Melania at my favorite theater, showing 45 out of 49 seats still available.

I have a mind to see an earlier (different) movie and then hang out to see what kind of weirdos hobble in.

Just checked out here, in a sea of red where we're the blue dots, two people purchased tickets.
