"We came just because we've never seen anything like this, and living in town it was convenient," said McGinty, who lives in Stillwater.
Strangely, the movie theater in OU rival Oklahoma State's hometown was the only one in the state showing the game in 3-D. Theater manager Marilyn Bradley said the game was being shown on the three screens with 3-D capability, and people were handed 3-D glasses that made the players stand out on the screen.
One of the theaters sold beer, a deal Bradley said the theater worked out with local restaurant Freddie Paul's. Bradley could not disclose how many tickets had been sold for the event, and while the parking lot appeared Friday-night full instead of Thursday-night quiet, tickets were still available up until kickoff.
"Everything's gone smooth, and it's really been a lot of fun," Bradley said.
The event drew some Oklahoma fans -- about 25 percent of the game-movie-goers were decked out in Sooner gear, and at least five or six Florida sweatshirts were spotted in the lobby. But by and large the crowds in front of the three screens dressed neutrally.
The theater's next 3-D event is the Feb. 14 NBA All-Star game.
