What Is The Worst Movie Theater Experience You’ve Had? (Ended)

Was on vacation to visit my cousin and his children in Texas. (I live in WI btw). So we go to the movie theater, and get in our seats. As the movie starts, these kids behind us start commenting on everything in the movie. And when I say everything, I mean everything! Random things about the character's height and other stuff like that. Eventually, around halfway through the movie they finally stop talking. I guess their mouths got tired by then. But BY GOD, that was annoying.

Took my little cousin to go see Star Wars: The rise of Skywalker.

Ended up watching the first 15 minutes of a horror movie. 8 people were brutally murdered in the first 10 minutes.

They gave us the wrong frigging tickets. but when we told them about it, the guy at the concession stands gave my little cousin a jumbo popcorn and large sprite for free. I took him to an ice cream place afterward and made him promise not to tell his parents about that. (He isn't supposed to have Ice cream before dinner)

All in all it wasn't a bad day. The kid just couldn't sleep for a couple days.

I went to watch the premiere of the James Bond movie Goldeneye. It was a new cinema with very good sound and comfortable chairs. During the opening scene, a guy's mobile phone rang in the row of seats next to me and my friend. He answered and started talking, or rather shouting, to drown out the sound from the movie. Everyone in the theatre could hear him. People started to hush him and then to shout at him. After a while he rose and slowly made his way out from the seats and then he stood on the side and continued talking/shouting. He seemed totally unaware that he was disturbing everyone. Finally he slowly walked out of the theatre, still talking.
I still can't think of that movie without seeing that guy standing there, not giving a shit about ruining the film for everybody else.
Nowadays there is a message on the screen before every movie: please turn off your mobile phone. I know why...

Once when at a movie theatre, there were technical difficulties with the movie, so we waited a long time watching the same commercials over and over again. To add on to that, the guy running the commercials was broadcasting terrible music on the speakers. NOT COOL!!! lol

Ok so it was my first time in a movie theatre (not counting those crappy ones that schools say are movies) and I was with my friends. It was a new film and we were all really pumped to see it.
Well... Turns out it was a 3D movie and we had to wear those glasses. Which is fine, except for one flaw... I wore glasses myself and those 3D ones did not fit so I had to sit in a movie theatre with one hand holding my glasses up to see the actual screen. Then someone bumped into me while I was holding a slushie (I think) and it spilled. Aaaaand then there was a thunderstorm so the power went out for half an hour.

Ok, so this is my dad's experience. So long story short, he went to watch the R-rated movie Sausage Party and there were a lot of kids there. He said it was especially bad when the, mature, scene at the end of the movie. Seriously people, when you have kids, check the movie rating!

The carpet was so sticky that I lost my sandals. They just stuck there while I took a step without them. I was so disgusted I never returned there after that day.

This one time, I was going to get popcorn, and the lady wouldn’t serve me my popcorn cause I’m a boy, and I was like ,“wHaT tHe hEcK wOmAn”, but in my head, so no one heard me.

My alcoholic exhusband brought a six pack to the theatre. He insisted on sitting all the way in the back. Unfortunately, half way through the movie, he accidentally kicked his bottles. The bottles noisily rolled all the way down to the front of the theatre. I don't remember the movie, but I did divorce the man that year.

Went to watch a movie in my mother's hometown with my family. The theatre was really old and was totally falling apart. There were no more then a hundred people in there. The movie was a highly anticipated one so we decided to just watch it.

The Judge of district court was with his family watching the movie a few rows behind us. The judge and I had aisle seats with aisle on our left. About half an hour into the movie he started screaming "SNAKE! SNAKE!".

I looked behind me to the left, and right there it was. A snake about the size of my arm, crawling away swiftly from where the judge was seated. The judge kept screaming for some time holding his left hand in the right one and then fainted. Everyone got scared and started to make a run for the exit. We did the same.

The next day our local newspaper published the story on the front page. Apparently the snake was crawling below the judge's seat when he dangled his hand down the and the snake bit him. The snake was not poisonous so it did no harm to the judge, he just fainted from the shock.

This was the talk of the town for quite some time. The theater was shut down.

Oof my worst experience would have to be when i was 7 i went to see zootropilis with a full box of popcorn and at a scary bit i jumped, spilled my popcorn and the power went out. Tjat happened 2 times! :) have a good say

Seeing "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace." As a Star Wars nut I was SOOOOOO looking forward to this movie! Was I ever in for a disappointment. Do not get me started on that accursed Jar Jar Binks! I hated the movie so much, that night I had a dream about George Lucas being chased by various characters of the Star Wars universe - as well as characters from other science fiction movies and TV series.

The worst was when I went to see "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist." It was the worst movie I have seen in a theater. The only things that kept me there was watching the other people who were enjoying it and the fact I'd used a gift card and only had to pay .25 to see it.

Another fun moment was watching the one of the Star Wars prequels on a holiday and some kid in the audience going "eww" when Padme and Anakin kissed. I think the rest of the audience agreed with them.

I went to see Fantastic Beasts the crimes of grindelwald with my mom on black Friday. It was so unbelievalbly hot. They gave everyone in the theater a refund.

I live in a country where putting your foot up on your leg it’s considered as bad as flipping someone off, but my stupid American ass was trying to eat food while watching a movie and I put my foot up so the bottom was face it the women next to me, and I swear she looked like she was having a stroke. When I realized I straight up just kept my foot up since the lady was using her phone on full volume earlier and kept her full brightness.
