The people asking why they're even showing the film have a point, I'm not entirely sure why they had it myself. They don't seem particularly enthusiastic about it.

The manager pretty much said they could show this ironically or have an empty screen for a week. From a business point of view it really doesn’t matter “why” people are buying tickets; it just matters that they “are” buying tickets.
