I dislike rather intensely cinemas that are filled to capacity (think: opening night of any blockbuster). Too crowded. Too noisy. And I think of those poor souls that got shot up at the Batman premiere three years ago (12 dead, 70 wounded).

I like walking into a cinema that is mostly empty. I can stretch my legs, pay attention to the film without hundreds of others distracting me. I hate it when people cheer in the cinema during the film!

So I don’t do opening nights for films like these. I wait a couple of months.
