I vaguely recall watching (many years ago) a YT series (I think) about geeks standing in line for the next movie in their favorite franchise, and by "standing", I mean they arrive on the evening before the premiere and stand there all night. The main character has all his geek stuff, like action figures and such, in a bag, and then something happens and he gives his ticket to another person, then trades away all his action figures with other people in the line to get that person into the premiere. The ending sees him sitting in front of the theater, and then the technician who belittled him earlier, tells him he can come in and watch the movie from the projector room.
