Did anybody actually see this in a theater?

Yes, somebody actually saw this in a theatre. I did for example. And it made me cry.

I saw it in 1997 with my class. We were 15 so all the comments were about how hot Rose was, the car sex scene, the propeller guy scene, Fabrizio's death and imitating Fabrizio's accent and lines LOL.

Pretty much anyone who was alive in 1997 saw it in theaters. I think I saw it about 4 times. No walkouts and there were good crowds each time.

I saw it twice in the theaters and it was awesome and the place was packed both times.

It is such a great movie.

I did see it in the theatre. I don't recall the audience reaction or what theatre I was in, but I remember thinking the visual and audio effects were through the roof. The theatre was cold (as most theatres are), which played into the scenes of Rose and Jack in the freezing dark water.

I saw it twice in its original run, and then again when it was re-released in IMAX 3D. The film was an event, a cultural moment.

Here is my story, I avoided it, everyone was going on about it I thought it was just over hyped love story 15 yeah old boy me was only into action crap at the time. my family had seen it 3 or 4 times kept telling to to come. and on boxing day I went to a different movie with my brother called 'die another day' whatever that crap james bond film was called which I haven't seen again til that day.. finally I caved and about 2 weeks later I actually went and seen it with family who already had seen it several times. it was incredible that first time

I was in first or second grade. I remember this movie was huge, nearly everyone in class had seen the movie in theaters. Everyone used to talk about the film. Some of the girls used to sing Celine Dion's "My heart will go on" theme in the playground

I, however, saw the movie only on PPV, not at the theaters.
