Why did you cancel the get-together simply because the particular movie you wanted to see wasn't playing??? Why didn't you find another movie the 3 of you would be interested, or go do something else like play board games, go to a bar, invite them to your place and have dinner, etc? To me, canceling the get-together with two of your friends sends the signal "What I really wanted was some company to see the movie, but since the movie isn't playing, I don't care about seeing you guys at all or hanging out with you guys". Not exactly friendship-building signals to send.
The true objective of the night wasn't to see a particular movie, but to hang out and socialize and have fun....no?
