Did Anybody Actually See This In A Theater?

If so what did you think when you walked out? How many people were in the theater?

Any overall stand out memories?

I saw it in the theater. The theater was packed and people were definitely enjoying it. I was totally satisfied when I left the theater and so were the kids I was with. A pretty positive experience all around.

I saw this in the theater--it was packed. Well, there was no 'streaming' like there is now. You had to go to the theater to see the movie. I was in elementary school and I had pictures of Fox. I loved this movie even if I did not understand everything in it/the 50's when I first saw it. Like why the guys at the high school had to wear slacks when I could wear jeans. And Loraine had to wear a skirt. My mom had to explain things to me.

I was lucky enough to see it in a theater before it was released. It played in a nearby town as some kind of sneak preview or something, and my older brother took me and my kid sister to see it. The theater was packed, and the audience loved it, laughing constantly, and even cheering at points. I remember Biff getting covered in manure made the place go wild.

I am not sure if I saw the movie in the theater. Part II and III for sure in 1987 and 1989 I think.

But in the year 2015 I watched all three in a row at the cinema.

89 and 91

The third part was in the year 89. I am sure about it.

Edited: or not, it seems it was in the year 1990.

No need to capitalize every word in your title.

And obviously NO. Absolutely no one saw this in a theater. It played for empty theaters for a long time, and then was cancelled, what a flop.

Yes,i saw a clip of the mr sandman scene on the film 85 tv programme, which convinced me to see it a week later at the local cinema.Went with some schoolfriends, and i remember how excited i was,as i hadnt been to the cinema for a few years.The cinema was quite full,and there was a lot of laughs at the manure, and baby uncle joey scenes. Absolutely loved it that much, i went back a week later with some different friends.Ive seen 100s of movies at the cinemas, but this would be one of the top cinematic experiences i had
