Yeah, I wasn't clear. It was something done all over the country (and perhaps other parts of the world), but just once. In other words, that same day in every city, one triple-feature showing per city. A one-time event held in many different places.

My bad.


Point was, unless you caught the showing that day ... you have been out of luck ever since. And I sorta robbed people of seeing the final movie who, through no fault of there own, had tickets to the event that never should have been sold. (Though, of course, I see it as the theatre who robbed them ... and well, me just being the guy who ratted them out. Hmmmm, why don't I feel any better about it?)
