I'm kind of curious as to how valid the assumption is that attention is being paid to the ratings of the movies the trailer's being put in front of. Interesting theory, anyway. I still haven't figured the link between RENT and Mad, Hot Ballroom, other than that the latter is about dancing, and the former is a musical.
well at this point. if i unwillingly sat through from justin to kelly, i'm sure i can sit through anything for RENT!

After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart.

what the hell? I'd pay six bucks to walk in, watch the preview and walk out. I don't care what movie it is. provided, I know *for sure* I'll see the preview...
I know that a trailer for an "R" rated movie would NOT be shown in front of a PG or G movie... I think its an MPAA rule. But since "Rent" has not been rated yet I don't know how that works. The MPAA rates trailers as well, so I would think something like "Rent" wouldn't be in front of a PG movie. Trailers for "R" rated movies only show up on PG-13 and higher.

They definitely won't show it in front of 'Madagascar,' but it's possibly you'll see it in front of something like 'Star Wars' because tons of people are seeing it (#1 again this weekend, thank you very much). But I do admit it's an unusual genre to be sticking a musical trailer in front of.
And in defense of Star Wars fans...because I'm original SW fan (and an original Rent fan), in regards to the booing...keep in mind this 4-month wait that's killing you for the 'Rent' movie: we waited 22 YEARS for 'Revenge of the Sith'. They could probably show a real clip of world peace being declared and the booing would have happened.
The trailer will probably be online this week, so don't go crazy trying to find a movie theater.

OMGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was sooo good............tracy sounds amazing......and so does Jesse and the entire ensemble. MAn I cant wait that was awesome
i feel like it's an ad for something? they show the cemetary, and as soon as they did i was like "let's show some drug deals! let's show some shooting up!!" ... although i did get chills when they first sang 'measure in love' and got all warm and fuzzy when they hugged - so there's a hidden sap within me somewhere.
but Pinguin earlier said that they boo'ed during her showing ... if i had no idea what rent was, and saw this trailer .. i think i'd think it was some sort of romantic comedy ... what would you guys think?
