Me and one other person at a showing of "Cabaret" when they brought it back a few years later.

Just Visiting - We were 3 Including me (And I liked it too... Almost bought the DVD)

Josie And The Pussycats had very few people too... Less than 20 I'd say... And I liked it a lot and bought the DVD!

I've been to several movies where I was the only one in the audience. For some movies (comedy mostly) a crowd is good...but the rest, I'll take being in there by myself any day.
I recall a few just from last year: Hannibal, Mulholland Drive and Sidewalks of New York; all empty besides little ol' me. :emoji_thumbsup:

Mission to Mars. One of the worst movies I've seen. It was on a weekday and there were just three of us: me, my wife, and a friend. We had the theater to ourselves.

I wonder if they still roll the film if nobody is present.

Including myself one. Forrest Gump and The Hunt for Red October. Both movies were seen almost 8 months after their first release.

One, myself. It was an 11:00 P.M showing of A.I. Artificial Intelligence. That was the first time it ever happened to me, it was cool.

U-571. I was the lone person in the place and it must have been able to seat 300.

1: I went to see Jurassic Park a year+ after it had opened, at a local megaplex that must have needed a movie to fill a screen so they brought that back, and I was the only one there.

The recent (well, a couple years ago) re-release of Wizard of Oz. Sadly, there were only 4 of us in the theater. I figured the showing would have at least a few families.

In 1992 the film "Hoffa" was filmed, in part, in Detroit. Myself and several friends were extras who were part of the several street scenes that were filled at Detroit's Eastern Market area.

When my wife and I went to see the film (a weekeday, 11:30am showing at a large mall), we were the *only* two people in the theater.

It was great.

Now, we enjoy the same benefits of that experience with our own home theater!

I went to see John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars, and there were only 2 other people in the theater (and it was opening weekend).

Smallest crowd I've seen: 2. That's counting myself. That was a matinee showing of Lord of the Rings several weeks after it was released. The other person was a lady. I couldn't tell if she was hot or not, or maybe... (j/k)
