Capone has the Winners' Names for the Chicago X-MEN: FIRST CLASS screening!!!

Capone here, with the list of winners for tickets to see the advanced big-screen screening of X-MEN: FIRST CLASS on Thursday, June 2 at 9:00pm.

First off, let me say that we had more than 200 entries in this contest (representing about 400 seat requests) for 50 seats, so the competition was fierce. I have now seen X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, and I can say that…the rumors are true. The 50 folks below are going to be really glad they stayed up a little later than normal for a Thursday night.

A few people wanted to know why I didn't promote this contest on Twitter. The answer is easy: I didn't have to, not did I want to. It may shock you to learn that there are people who follow me on Twitter only for the free movies; can't stop that from happening. But most of those people don't check AICN regularly day after day, and those are the people that I wanted to get first crack at this screening. And their well-crafted, thoughtful entries did not disappoint. I won't do this every time, but when I've got limited seating and know the screening will fill up quickly, I'll give myself the option to do so. Okay, enough office politics.

Those who entered and won will receive an email from me shortly with the details on the location of the screening. If you entered this contest and your name is on the list, but you did not receive an email, let me know and I'll get you the details.

This is not an exclusive AICN event, and is slightly overbooked to make sure we have a full house. Please arrive at least an hour early to make sure you get in and get a good seat.
