I’m seeing the 6pm showing of Sound of Freedom in a rinky dink town (pop 31,000), and my wife and I got the last 2 tickets. On a Wednesday.
A friend went yesterday and it was also sold out.
Edit: no shenanigans observed. Theatre was comfortable, no fire alarms, no issues at all.
Word is getting out. We went to the opening on July 3, only 25 people (all middle aged or older) in the theatre.
