^Well, it's not that premium. We get AMC but not HBO or Moviechannel or those upper tier channels. But yeah, I'm sure it's a heavily torrented series. Walking Dead would be great on the big screen-- two hundred people screaming, "Herschel! Look out behind you!"
I believe that AMC was bundled with HBO in my package.

Its an opportunity to be part of a community and to make a memory. Sure, I could stay home and watch on my TV... but I can do that any time and with any show. But now I get to do something different on Sunday, and have a chance to say "Hey, do you remember when we saw Breaking Bad at that theater? Man, wasn't that something?"

The reason I'm going is that its a chance to turn something otherwise mundane into an event, and to share the experience with a group of like-minded fans...Sure, I could stay home and watch on my TV... but I can do that any time and with any show.
Besides, I can get the extra large popcorn with real butter, and then load on the extra salt.

"How did I not hear about this?! I *totally* would have gone!"
So, a word in the ear of the marketing guy or gal: more local social media push. He skims the online TC every day but missed this event.

Why pay $8 a beer in a bar to watch a hockey game you can watch at home for free while drinking $2 beer?
Different strokes for different folks. I'm looking forward to this event.

Almost all of it. The producer is the Large family guy. Consider that Kid Cannabis is hitting the theatres just now, but he has 12 other films in production now.
He's busy. > http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1143429/
Understand about the film business, only 1 out of 10 films makes money, the rest are losers. But when you hit it, the big one scores, you might get 100x your money back. See: Saw the movie franchise.
Saw and all its sequels has made $877M worldwide at the box office, on a production budget of just $48M total. That's a lot of profit. SOURCE. The movie makes about 50% of the box office, the theatres take the rest. So this film set only gets about $435M or so, but they only spent $48M. That's near 10x the profit, and all of this is before DVD/download sales, that can double that.

It's in very limited release, was not released here. 4 LA theatres had it, not sure where else.
However, early reviews are in, we may have a sleeper hit on our hands:

Could that be one of the checkpoints on DND land?

Could be. The road beyond the fence is quite long, so I think we are looking at this from inside the secured area, looking out. Both coming and going has a lift-gate, so it's different than, say, a ferry terminal.

Watching it again, it might well be a real border crossing, I think it has lights holding cars back from approaching the kiosk.
Here is an inside Monty's screen-cap, with Ron Perlman (Sons of Anarchy, Hellboy).
