I went along to the midnight premiere of this film at my local cinema. It was completely full, and the crowd was... quite a different crowd to what the cinema usually attracted. At one point before the movie started someone loudly said "it feels like the whole Internet is here!"

Same -- went to the midnight (iirc they just moved it ahead to 10pm, since unlike LotR/etc no one cared) show at the Cinerama in Seattle and it was packed. People brought pool noodles to wave around, the whole crowd was hissing -- I've actually never rewatched it because I assume nothing could compare to the experience of watching it in that setting.

Same with me: the Orpheum on State St. in Madison, WI. Great memories...
