Convenient if you know what they're asking you when they ask what seat number you want (knew enough Japanese to buy the ticket until they threw that curve-ball at me).
Though they do have an actual chart that they can pull out to ask those who don't understand (at least, the theatre I went to for Detective Conan movie 12 did). They also had a student discount which they allowed me to use despite obviously not going to school in Japan, which was quite nice ($9 instead of the standard $15 or so).

but when I bought my ticket it just had a list of all of the theaters it works at. I'm pretty sure you can use it at any of those theaters at any time in any seat. I think this movie is an exception.

That's what I'd assume based on the way the tickets look (lack of any identifying features regarding location). Either that, or you sort of redeem them at participating locations for the actual ticket. Like a prepaid card or coupon of some sort (likely getting the back stamped so you can keep the promotional ticket, but still render it void for further use).
