SOLD OUT — maximum capacity — stated the sign at the front entrance Saturday night. They had to turn away people Saturday. But it’s the biggest movie of the past 10 years we were told by a staffer.
People began lining up today along the Historic U.S. Route 66 shoulder in Jasper County at 1:00 PM even though gates didn’t open until 7:00 PM.
Did you miss it? You have Sunday night (gates open at 7:00 PM). And then AVENGERS END GAME is showing next weekend as movie #1 AGAIN!
