I went to Spider-Man(10/10) This weekend and recieved: Decals, Stickers, And Mini-Posters from the film. I was wondering If you have ever been to a theatre that gave away stuff for a movie. Like I got Charlies Angels Pins at Charlies Angeks And Van Wilder Pin at Van Wilder. What All have you got?

I have never had this happen..tho I've heard of it (especially in Japan )...I wasn't aware they did this in the US....I wonder if it only happens in larger cities ?

My theaters are too cheap to do anything like that. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/frown.gif

Once, a group of Pepsi reps were giving away free cans of Pepsi Twist. They were literally giving away boxes of it. Outside, they had this cool van with the logo on it, where the inside it blocked by the decals. It was nifty.

My theater gives away mint skittles and they were giving away a bunch of other Spiderman stuff when i went. One of my friends was begging for a Spiderman shirt and the asst. manager told him if he got a job he would get a shirt so he asked the manager but she gave him a look like, "What the hell do you think your doing?"

The theatre usually gives away small stuff to promote a movie. I have tiny posters for LOTR, THE TIME MACHINE, and, yes, NEVER BEEN KISSED stored somewhere in my room.

Also, when both ak and myself went to the opening of X-Men we were given a couple of trading cards, an X-Men comic book and somehting else which i can't quite remember.
