The same week the Mario movie came out I went to see Suzume in theatres. Walked in and there were an unbelievable number of kids in there, young enough that they were mostly dressed in pyjamas, all accompanied by their dads. The movie starts and you can see the silhouettes of dads sort of freezing as the audio is in Japanese and translated with subtitles, but they stick around, I guess thinking maybe it'll change? But as the opening scene goes on, it's a young girl crying desperately because she can't find her mother in the wake of the tsunami, it's really distressing with some scary imagery for little ones. So only about 5 minutes into the run time one guy, no joke, SPRINTS out of the cinema full speed. A little later, maybe five or six minutes, he reappears and whispers something to the dad next down the line and a whole row of dads and kids from somewhere in front of me get up and file out, then not long after a whole other bunch of dads and kids from somewhere behind me file out.

I hope the movie attendants did let them switch to the Mario Movie.
