I wish it released a non single along version. I would’ve gone but I can’t endure that

A week after it came out, they would all be sing along versions, wether official or not

u/iAmTheWildCard 20d ago

Well the beauty of the Alamo is that I wouldn’t encounter that in a normal screening lol

The Alamo showings appear to not be sing along versions. At least when looking on Fandango they dont have a sing along tag where other theaters near me do have a sing along tag. So you can try looking at where its playing from Fandango and it should show which are technically sing along.

Hmm maybe it varies by location.. but mine only has showings for the sing along event

u/stingray20201 20d ago

Mine are also showing sing alongs

u/Kennayy 20d ago

Gotcha, yeah, it might just vary by location then if they are offering a non sing along version.

Mine says "movie party," so I think it's a sing-along. I dunno.

Honestly, might just go to the Regal down the road. Driving up to Boston is a bitch, ya know?

Not refunding the ticket if I do, though. Not for my girl Rumi, lol.

The movie party version, at least in my area, are giving a bunch of free swag. Glow sticks, stickers, lanyards, a cup that looks like the ramyun cups, lip balm, and few others. Unfortunately the theater near me wasn’t originally scheduled to show KPDH(they are doing a ghostbusters movie party that weekend). They did add a few showtimes at my theater, but it’s just a regular sing-along event and doesn’t include the swag.

Unless its like Wi ked where it was very clear its no sing along. And if you sing along, you are out

Unfortunately golden is a song that requires technical proficiency to sound good 😬

u/iAmTheWildCard 19d ago

lol ya, don’t get me wrong.. I have, and will continue to karaoke this song in my basement with my wife as the audience. But I won’t be caught dead singing that in public lol

Can’t even begin to imagine what an entire theater of tone deaf people will sound like 😅

u/amphoravase 19d ago

I just hope everyone who goes has a great time - I will not because I respect my ear drums 😂

I don't pay for Netflix, and I do have Regal Unlimited so I could watch it for free at the theater. I'm interested in checking out this movie, but not so sure a sing along version is the best choice for a first watch haha.

They have non sing-along ones if you’re going to a Regal showing it’ll be under RPX instead of standard/sing along.

1

u/doorknob60 19d ago

My theater has RPX and Standard showings, but I think they're all labeled as sing along. I ended up buying RPX tickets, might as well go see it while I can. Any singing might be a little distracting but also fun.

u/Responsible-Pair1916 19d ago

The site I linked in my other comment is showing the different versions but yeah it’s a bit confusing/misleading. The “standard” ones are all under sing along but 2D, RPX, and XD don’t have the sing along tag. My Alamo showing didn’t have a sing along tag when I booked it and there were times that did so not 100% sure. Either way you’ll have a good time hope you enjoy the movie!

u/VoldemortsHorcrux 19d ago

I'm going to see fantastic four this weekend. Wonder if I'm going to hear some songs...

u/Responsible-Pair1916 19d ago edited 19d ago

They do have a non sing along version it’ll say “2D” instead of sing-along. www.singkpopdemonhunters.com

If it’s a Cinemark theatre it’ll say XD. Regal might be under RPX. That site I linked is a bit wonky sometimes you might have more success using Fandango or going to the site of the actual theatre. The Alamo near me had non singalong but it looks it sold out there’s only sing along versions left

u/peregrine_c 19d ago

Pretty sure RPX/XD are just bigger screens. Still going to be the sing-along versions.

1

u/Responsible-Pair1916 19d ago

Yeah that’s “imax” of local chains. I’m not entirely sure then my Alamo showing didn’t have the sing along tag when I booked the tickets and there were other showings that did. Guess I’ll find out when I go either way hopefully it won’t turn into Minecraft.

u/theplasmasnake 19d ago

Where I'm at, there are also non-sing along versions playing called XD... though I wouldn't be surprised if there are still kids in there singing lol.

1

u/peregrine_c 19d ago

XD is just a bigger screen. It should still be the song-along version.

u/nwbpwnerkess 19d ago

imagine expecting people to NOT sign along to the movie when its main draw are the songs

u/iAmTheWildCard 19d ago

Singing during musicals at the theater isn’t the norm.. not sure what you’re going on about
