If you see him at a convention sometime, don't you want to be able to say "I saw a romance/comedy movie for you and you were great in it!"

I'm sure he will understand if the movie was too far away though what with the price of gas.

See it during the week if you can and maybe the theater will hold it for the weekend.

What are you implying?

That the movie will be leaving the theaters soon?

I saw it last week and loved it! I'm surprised it didn't open in more theaters.

Yes I am implying that. I looked at the imdb.com map of Waitress screenings for Friday and it scared me. Look at it it is less arrows. Maybe more theaters will show up Thursday.

I'm hoping FoxSearchLight is waiting for Knocked Up to get out of the way and will continue opening in more theaters...but I don't know what is going to happen.

See Waitress while you can. It may disappear like Serenity did.

I don't know how many people are aware of boxofficemojo.com, but it is very useful for looking at this kind of thing. According to it, ( http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&id=waitress.htm) if you look at the daily box office, it looks like as of last weekend it had dropped a bit to 615 theaters, down from 707 the week before. The per/theater average looks like its dropping too.

Still, for a indie film, its done quite well. My wife and I also saw it and we loved it.

Seen it, been there, done that, awesome film indeed. I only got to see it when it ran for a special preview here, it never hit the reg theatres, but if it did I would definitely see it 2,3,4,5 more times....

You can't take the sky from me....

I saw it twice, and I going back with more friends. It is the problem with Indies. They don't stay around for long, and they don't usually show at the big theaters.

That is what I am hoping that Fox SearchLight doesn't give up and keeps sending the movie out to theaters so everybody gets to see it and not have to drive an hour every time....GRRRH ARRRGH!

jake7,

Did you check the imdb.com map of Waitress screenings?

http://imdb.com/title/tt0473308/cinemashowtimes

See how far away it is Thursday and then see how far away it is Friday and Saturday.

I cannot tell if new theaters are opening Friday or if the arrows are ones that were already there. It just looks like a lot fewer arrows.

I've been using Fandango to check my local theaters to see if it was playing yet and it's not.

I hope it's coming soon!

Fandango feeds the imdb.com US Map. The shiny thing about it is that it shows a much larger area. Waitress could be showing in a nearby section of town or nearby town and a local Fandango search would not find it.

Waitress kept moving closer to me every weekend and then it stopped at an hour away. I can still see it again this weekend.

There was a drop in theaters this weekend but eyeballing the map for Thursday and Friday there are new arrows where there were not some. So Waitress is losing some old theaters and gaining some new theaters.

I see arrows where there were not arrows last week. So I think Fox Searchlight is still sending Waitress to
new theaters. Just more theaters are dropping Waitress then Fox Searchlight is sending out.

So I feel better just knowing that there are new theater pickups.

Waitress may be closer than you think. Could be playing in the theater down the road for two weeks and then go away.

Also everybody keep an eye on your theaters!

Can't tell by the imdb.com map of US Waitress screenings http://imdb.com/title/tt0473308/cinemashowtimes or the Box Office Mojo counts but on our favorite myspace Sandi Jun 28 2007 1:01P says Waitress is going to a new theater! Whoo-hoo!

"Here's how big Waitress has become - it's starting in Janesville, Wisconsin tomorrow. This is a town with two movie houses - a total of 18 theaters. Until the week before last, they were showing only five movie - Spiderman, Shrek, Pirates of the Caribbean, Ocean's Thirteen, and Knocked Up. A few weeks ago I had to drive 35 miles to see Waitress in Madison, and now it's just down the street. Guess where I'll be Sunday."

Hooray for our local art house theater! Our Browncoat group saw Waitress when it opened there over a month ago. I went back and saw it again a week later.
And, get this, I'm going to see it again on Saturday 'cause IT'S STILL PLAYING !!!
It's the only theater in town that has shown Waitress but they just keep showing it and showing it and showing it.

Thanks for the heads-up, Anony. I assumed it was gone already 'til your post made me check.

Yep, saw it again today. The theater is still promoting the movie within the shopping center.
Still have the Keri Russell window clings at the front door. And the larger-than-life cardboard standup with a review that mentions Adrienne Shelley.
They're also still showing a full schedule of it. I saw it today at the first showing around noon. There were maybe 10 other people in the theater.

Check your theaters. Fox SearchLight is still sending Waitress to new theaters. My sister just called and saw an article in the paper about Waitress. Whoo-hoo, closer than an hour away this weekend! I was worried it would be gone.

Starts at the new theater 7/4/2007

Remember to check with your art theaters or University theaters!
