I can't speak for the 185 million but I can say that the five who sat in the row in front of me certainly appeared to have bought their tickets simply so they could laugh at/ridicule the entire concept of heroic fantasy and noble course of action.

Same thing happened when I went to see RotK in matinee--beastly bunch of teenage girls kept up a whispering campaign. Most rude and disconcerting. It's too bad that most cinemas nowadays don't have ushers around to keep the silence.

It has really made me wonder if part of the attraction of PJ's movies has been, for a certain subsection of the movie-going public, the opportunity to wallow in derision, scorn and cynicism.
