I'm also going to go and see IT again in the theater. This time, I hope to pick up on things I may have missed the first go 'round. Plus the three minutes I missed for a bathroom break.
Why you should see IT in theaters instead of waiting

There were a lot of people going to the bathroom during my showing. And I'm thinking, HOLD IT! You're going to miss so much!
Believe me, I held it as long as I could without drowning. 
There were about five of us that went at the same time and we were all fast!

A guy I know, he & his wife & teenage son drove 50 miles to a drive-in to see It on a double bill with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre! Wow. TCM is his favorite film and he'd only ever seen it on television, so I feel like he didn't give It his full attention. His son commented that It was almost exactly like Stranger Things. Set in the 80's, kids on bikes. Ah, I'm not buying it. I quit listening to teenagers decades ago!

I'm seeing IT for the 2nd time today. I went on Friday night with friends, today I'm taking my son. I hope he likes it because I loved it!

So that would explain it - we had a group of four giggly young teenage girls who chatted and laughed. At one point one pulled out her cell phone and started texting. I accidentally on purpose gave her seat a good kick - she put the phone away.
We went on a Monday evening to see the IMAX version - I feel like going back to say our experience was ruined by these girls. Do you think they'd let us see it again? [I still have my ticket stubs]
I guess they weren't really all that bad, but they did distract me from quite a few scenes. I like to get totally immersed in a movie and wish I could have gone to one of the screenings where it was almost silent (like not_nadine described) but I had to work last weekend.
By the time I got to the movie theatre on the weekend it was sold out for the 7:30 show and I was too tired to wait until 10, since I had to be up early on Sunday morning.
Sure. I would speak to the manager and explain. I bet since you paid for it once, they might just let you in again.

I have Wednesday off - maybe I'll go for it - it seems like it's no use calling - you just get a recording and it's almost impossible to get a live human being.
I thought Bev Marsh was quite beautiful, with a natural beauty and a real gutsy feel to her personality.
She had very big blue eyes. A cutie.

She looks so much like my old friend Mildred - she lived down the street from us when we were in the Married Quarters and we both had babies at the same time (1982)
I thought Richie stole the show. Couldn't figure out where I recognized him from, then finally remembered he was in Stranger Things! His name is Finn Wolfhard and he is an excellent young actor.
....this young lady is gonna slay the fellers with her looks!....she could be super-model material as she matures......

It was Eddie for me. Talking away about every danger that could be. . Cracked me up, it did.
....5 women in the potty and you were all fast?!?!....I'da paid admission just to witness THAT!.....Believe me, I held it as long as I could without drowning.
....it was one comment....sorry it ruined your day.....
I'm not a huge fan of all-out horror movies, plus I am a serious germophobe. Am proud of myself for venturing out on my own to see this yesterday. I was the creepy person in the second to the last row, carrying a small spray bottle of hand sanitizer that I used to douse my seat with. I usually don't carry a purse, but brought one to the movie so I could keep my hands inside and not touch anything! 
Guess I was a bit like Eddie, huh?

Yeah, that Eddie cracked me up the most. And Ritchie, of course, but that hypochondriac Eddie...hoo boy, what a riot!
And the way everyone paid him no mind, and he kept going on and on.. Like the book. hee!
His mom was most excellent as well.
