Saw it last night. Those numbers ain't coming from heartland attendees, as we had no trouble arriving just before start time and still got those seats just in front of the rail so's we could put our feet up and all and have room for our Junior Mints and Reese's Pieces and 72-oz medium sodas.
Also, I liked the movie. And I'm over 30. Ok, ok. Over 35. Sheesh.
