I saw The Fellowship of the Ring: EE last night at Harkins Northfield. The presentation was great. It seemed like they might have tuned the sound system since I was there last. I was feeling a lot more bass than in the past, and the stereo and surround separation was really noticable.
Harkins is showing the trilogy on their premium screens, and they're filling them up. They are selling more tickets to these three showings than new releases have sold on those screens over multiple days.
Alamo Drafthouse Westminster, on the other hand, continues to book its auditoriums as poorly as possible. Their largest screen (showing new releases) is frequently a ghost town while their tiny auditoriums are full (showing classics).
Whoever is in charge of booking at Alamo Westminster could teach a master class in mismanaging a theater and minimizing profits.
Here's what it looks like this afternoon:
