I am a theater manager, and I can tell you that most Theater chains make a considerable effort to throw out patrons that are disturbing others. That being said, when one is running a medium to large multiplex the problem of payroll and budgeted security becomes an issue. Simply put: we do not have enough staff to post someone in every auditorium during the show. We do our best to patrol auditoriums and spot people causing problems. This can be difficult at times, because kids are looking out for security and people in suits.
This is what I recomend if you are watching a movie and people are acting like jackasses: Tell a theater manager. Yes, I know that this takes time away from the movie, but it better than having the entire movie ruined for you. Be specific as to what these people are doing, and where they are sitting. 9 times out of 10 the people causing the most trouble are the ones who snuck in. Why? Because they didn't fork over $10 like you did. If you see people coming in the exit door, tell a manager. Believe it or not, we do care that you enjoy the movie because for the most part we love movies as well (and understand how annoying it is when it is disturbed). On the other side of the coin, watching movies with a crowd gives you a whole communal experience. Sitting in a full theater laughing with the audience at a funny scene for example can be an awesome experience. Ancient peoples didn't have "home viewing" when getting together to watch a play (or witness Christians getting thrown to the lions). Jam it back in, in the dark. |

He also likes Diet Coke. I know this because I've served him drinks. While we are on the subject of George Lucas, he most likely came to this conclusion (that going to the movies will die, not that he likes diet coke) while viewing movies in Marin County. In Marin County, the rich white kids are so bored, they'll spend the $9.75 for a movie then spend the entire time walking in and out of the auditoriums and talk the whole time. I'd be bitter about the movie going experience too. Most amazing jew boots |
