Sundance Screening Fails to Impress: Harry & Meghan Film Seats Empty
26 Jan
Summary
- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's film 'Cookie Queens' premiered at Sundance.
- The screening had approximately 150 empty seats initially.
- Even with waitlisters, around 60 seats remained unfilled.
The Sundance Film Festival saw a surprising lack of attendance for the premiere of "Cookie Queens," a new production from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Eccles Theatre screening on Sunday morning had a significant number of empty seats, with initial estimates pointing to around 150 unoccupied spots.
This low turnout led festival organizers to offer previously reserved VIP seats, which cost approximately $7,000 for exclusive passes, to individuals on the waitlist. However, even with these measures, the film's screening did not reach full capacity, reportedly leaving about 60 seats empty.
Such a situation is unusual for the Sundance Film Festival, where tickets for screenings are highly sought after and often difficult to obtain, making the unfulfilled seating capacity a notable event.
