You just know that every theater audience will be shouting all the lines along with the movie. That alone will make it worth going.

Went to a themed beer tasting where they played this movie. People were doing exactly this but shouting the lines before they were said on screen, kind of soured the experience. Good beer though.
If it soured the experience, the beer wasn't that good.
Visit Belgium more.
I went to a reshooting sone number of years ago and was quite afraid this would happen. Doubly so as the theater was next to MIT. All in all it wasn’t too bad. Mostly just laughing.

But it sounds like you’re hoping for it to happen . In which case my anecdote says maybe it won’t.

I went to a similar event for The Big Lebowski, it was awesome, everyone was cracking up and quoting it the whole time, a bunch of people dressed as The Dude.

The only downside was the theater's bar was closed for some reason, so no white Russians could be had.

"You're obviously not a golfer" is my favourite ever movie line
I once watched it at a student run theatre that had somehow retained a physical 35mm copy of this, and showed it once a year. Every time it got a bit more scratched and spliced, but still worked.

They had been doing it for a while, and had rocky-horror picture show levels of audience participation and costumes (Yes, including a cadre of knights in armor that brought their own shrubbery).

We have very different tastes. I went to a big Lebowski showing and the entire movie was like 6 different people shouting an upcoming line between 0 and 20 seconds before it was said. I don't get it
But will the theater operators make publicity from encouraging cameras and singing/dancing like they did for that other title going around the theaters?
