Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I have seen 3 in theatres, and the chain you were with

probably had the stats for their theatres nationwide. The greatest incidence was in the South and Midwest (some time ago, in the middle 1960s when the movie going public was much older). One would have thought that it would have happened in Miami theatres as well. Though the demographic breakdown of your attendees would have been far more telling than that for the general population.

Additionally, though the stat is impressive, it is but an infinitesimal fraction of nationwide attendance.

As an aside, I saw Ben-Hur at the old Warner in Washington and went the day after someone had died of heart failure. I was young and did not ask which scene. That incident is not counted amongst the 3. I was present for those.

In the interest of full reporting, one was in NC (The Killing of Sister George), one at the old Loew's Kings in Brooklyn (Le Mans) and one (far more recent) was in a Manhattan Cineplex (he was slumped over as we came in and I do not remember the film as we were ushered out and I decided for an excellent Martini instead.)

All 3 were male and 50 something.
