My screening was closer to home, thankfully (the other NJ places they announced weren't showing any listings and were an hour+ away; the one I went to was like 20 minutes).
My hang up was the ticket price (it was one of those dine-in theaters, so it was a little more costly and had a reservation fee), but all in all, I think I would have regretted not seeing a Muppet thing on the big screen when the opportunity was there. So that was my rationale for seeing it in theaters v. waiting for the On Demand release. Plus, I haven't been in a movie theater in over a year and it was nice to remedy that.
