Sometimes, movie studios put out two different endings for a film and show them to separate test audiences to gauge which is preferred.

Have you ever been part of a test audience for a version of a movie‘s ending that was ultimately NOT selected for wide release?  If so, which movie(s), and do you agree with the studio’s decision to go with the other ending?

    No. I'm on a list for screenings and have been invited twice but wasn't able to go to either one. Bah.

      Wow, how can I get my name on lists like that?  (I promise not to eat all the sandwiches at the courtesy buffet table.)
