Yeah, pretty much.

See, I sort of stopped watching the show on a regular basis about six or seven years ago. Up until that point, I'd say it was my second favorite television show behind only Friends. I don't hate the show now like a lot of people do and watch reruns occasionally, but I don't watch regularly, like I said.

That said, I will be there in full force for the movie this weekend.

That's why people who claim the movie won't do well because it only attracts an average of 8 million viewers now are either misguided or stupid. There will be countless people out there (like me!) who used to be big fans of the show and will still go see the movie without a doubt.

even though the show only gets 10 million viewers a week for new shows, i bet millions more watch the classic re run shows that are on like a million channels.

I gave up on the show after season 13(though i still watch some new episodes) but i own the first 7 seasons and watch it all the time, im also going to watch the movie despite thinking the show is shit since season 10.

Man, those episodes were great

A comparison with OOTP may be interesting.

The Simpsons has sold out one 11:59 show at the Regal Union Square in Manahttan.

Does anyone know how many midnight showings there are for The Simpsons?

That theater alwasy sells out though.

Got cut from work early today with a bunch of other people so we all went to go see Hairspray which was the only one playing right after we got cut, it was fun.. loved it as much as the first time, more actually now it felt better paced. We have sold about 200 tickets for Simpsons tomororw night, so some sell outs forsure are on the way.

More midnight The Simpsons Movie sellouts:

AMC Loews Waterfront 22 (Homestead, PA)- 12:01am 12:02am
Regal Augusta Exchange 20 (Augusta, GA)- 11:59

HOLY SHIZZLE!!

Wow look at those sold outs.

I think the movie is definitely going to be frontloaded since fanbase reviews have been mixed.

This is a particularly good theater for tracking purposes.
Being a neighborhood multiplex in an industry town (Burbank) while local attitudes eschew the typical hype,
when this theater has sell-outs it is usually a good sign and when a film underperforms here, it's a telling sign.

So we should expect what, $3-4 million from midnights? Mighty impressive for a franchise most fans have given up on.

Simpsons, 12:01am, sold out (playing on three screens, and I know at least one more was sold out; didn't check the third). Crowd was hyyyyyped. Mostly teens and college students.
