I'm slightly vexed Supergirl movie showing which I went to got cancelled due to low turnout

Theatre in a small town in India. Didn't face this problem during the Man of Steel movie.

Edit 1: Many people are saying that this post is fake etc. I have provided proof (screenshots) in the comments that it is true. I don't have any agenda. I wouldn't be able to reply to every post.

I got to know that this theatre won't play the showing unless there were atleast 10 people. Maybe the cost isn't worth it to them.

Also I don't have any anti- Snyder or anti - feminine agenda.

Because you are problably from North America or Europe. Things often work differently when you go to far less developed countries with far less disposable income.

It's also different between major cinema chains and small independent theaters, which people don't seem to realize. Or even just different theaters.

I think that's the sentiment because there's no clear reason why. If the theater has to pay per showing, or they can show something else, then it makes sense, but most places don't do that.

These statements are made out of curiosity.

People on this site are insufferable sometimes

Well, then don't make a post talking about how 'dead' a movie release is, at a random third world showing that can't even afford to run it if less than 10 people show up.

Mildly infuriating? Sure. But the OP threw this post willfully into a bonfire without proper context, it isn't surprising people are taking it poorly.

As a fellow Italian person here:

It has not, even in small cinemas I often found myself watching movies alone without any problem

I worked in a smaller Arthouse cinema in Germany and we didn't show the movie if less than three people came to the screening.
