Tonight, DreamWorks has bought out an entire auditorium and given away 125 tickets to see their movie Biker Boyz. When we had this movie, nobody came and saw it, and it left after being at our theatre for all of 21 days. We don't expect any more than 50 people to show up, if even that. The question is, why would DreamWorks do something like this? It's not for any kind of tie-in that we can think of (our neighbours include a Harley shop, they aren't involved). Are any of you guys doing this assinine show?

Hey Jacob, did anybody show up for the film? Ever find out what the deal is?

Maybe Dreamworks was giving it a very early rerelease for Oscar consideration! [Big Grin]

I don't think any more than 25 people showed up, if that. Still no clue on why it was done.

Had they titled it "Dumb And Dummer Biker Boyz" it would have netted Dreamworks a fortune!
