I saw this during the theatrical run, probably on opening night. I can't remember if it was still called "Killbots" at that point or if the title had already changed between the trailer and the local release. I do have a vague recollection that I might have been the only one in the theater.
Another warm place in my heart for a classic movie. I love this mall's policy on theft, their robots are programmed to destroy all valuable objects during a break in.
