We decided to catch Iron Man 2 at the Arclight Cinemas at the Cinerama Dome since we just came out of a Capcom Party and was hoping that a theater in Hollywood would have seats available for the opening day midnight showings. Luckily for us, the Arclight had a lot of showings starting from 12:00am to 12:31am. We chose the 12:31am showing because we came in a group and that showing had some good seats left.
The movie was about to start but then an Arclight employee starts reading off the synopsis to Iron Man 2. What is this? I already know what the movie’s about. Afterwards, he mentions that there is a special guest coming and one of the audience members jokingly shouts Robert Downey Jr (OK, that was me). And to all of our surprise, Robert Downey Jr. shows up along with director Jon Favreau. Downey knew our showing was the last showing of the night and made fun of us for being procrastinators. After they thanked us for supporting the movie, they left and the audience quickly grabbed their phones and started to text everyone they knew about what just happened. I thought this was awesome and wondered maybe Downey and Favreau got drunk and was like, “Hey, you know what’s a good idea? Let’s mess around and go into all the auditoriums and surprise the fans.”
