Update 2: Event is ON.
Update 1: See here, show may be canceled. More news soon.
CrunchGear and TechCrunch are hosting a special event tomorrow, April 30 (Wednesday) in San Francisco – a special screening of the movie Iron Man, two days before the official May 2 release.
We’ve rented out the largest theater we could find in the area – The AMC Metreon in San Francisco, which will hold 600 people. Everyone is welcome to attend, and the movie starts at 7:15 pm (you can arrive as early as 6:30).
If you’d like to come, you can purchase a ticket at EventBrite for $1 (the goal is to minimize no shows, which means empty seats). We will check your name against a list of registered attendees at the door.
Why are we doing this? Just to say thank you to our readers and encourage warm fuzzy, advertisement-clicking feelings in you all.
Details:
AMC Loews Metreon 16 with IMAX
101 4th St
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 369-6201
Tickets
After the movie we’ll meet at the 4th Street Bar and Grill for drinks, unless you commenters have a better idea.
If there were a waiting list I’d put myself on it. Any hope for anyone who didn’t make the first 600
Too bad it wasn’t in my area and be it wasn’t a movie I was actually interested in seeing.
Thanks Michael, My son and I will be seeing Iron Man when it opens here in the hinterlands this week, we’ll have our own TC viewing in Alabama.
What is such a big fuss about Ironman, cmon GTA IV has released. GTA is much bigger thing
Hmmm, are we a little west coast biased here
I can recommend a great Boston theater…
I’m not going to be able to make it tonight now, but have a friend on the waiting list. Anyway I can transfer my ticket to him?
Here in Ecuador the official release of the movie is today!!! (You can check http://www.multicines.com.ec for details)
I’m about to finish my work and go out to enjoy it
good
