(Your movie was great!) With respect to seating, you didn't have much flexibility. The only option I could see would be to have ushers seat people. Good luck and call if you ever need advice. Nick,

Unfortunately, seating turned out to be a nightmare. The movie before ours ran 15 minutes into our allotted time block and many people had arrived 30 minutes early. The complicate the seating situation, every third seat was actually a table and both seats/tables were bolted to the floor. The size of the theater and what you've said about keeping folks as close as possible was actually the reason we made such a large push to get people into the show. The next time we set up a show like that, I think we'll rent a more typical theater but I'm still curious if there was anything we could have done given the circumstances. - Nick I wish we had the opportunity to use these tips at our movie premiere.
