Someone Asks What Was The Worst Experience In A Movie Theater And These 50 Stories Are Wild

Drunk guy in front of me sh*t himself.

He waited at least 40 minutes before moving.

My friend and i went to see Race to Witch Mountain when we were like 9 and we were giggling at something in the beginning of the movie and the old lady in front of us did not like that so she turned around and started pelting us with popcorn

In line for the midnight premiere for Force Awakens..dude drives past the line and yells “HAN SOLO DIES” as we were getting ushered in the theater. 40 y/o neckbeard in a Jedi outfit says in denial “I didn’t hear sh*t!” as he fought back tears

The most outrageous experience was when the guy sitting next to me (in the dark) put his hand down into my hot-buttered popcorn and started helping himself.

At the age of 14 I watched the Wolf of Wall Street in theatres with my mom and 12 year old sister. We lived in a part of the world where a kid would just be able to walk into a theatre regardless of its rating. I wasn't that into movies back then and my mom told us that this was a movie about "80s Wall Street" so we were like "k". From start to finish none of us moved an inch. If you've seen the film you can imagine it's an extremely uncomfortable movie to watch with your two teenage kids. When the lights came on my mom immediately said "don't tell your dad" and the entire theatre heard her say that. Really really cringy movie experience

As a kid I was watching Alvin and the Chipmunks (wasn’t a bright kid in 2007) and during the previews and into the movie these teenagers were so loud and kept talking and talking, even used a laser pointer on the screen. Usher came in and kicked their asses out.

My mom, brother, and I were visiting my grandpa about a month after my grandma had passed away. We decided to go see a movie, and "Up" was playing and looked like a fun time, so that's the movie we picked. None of us were prepared to witness Grandpa crying that hard...

Back when Tangled came out I went see it and they accidentally played a new SAW movie. So a bunch of kids got to see a man cauterize a leg stump before they realize why everyone was yelling and walking out.

Went to see Oceans 8. A woman was drunk or high, passed out during the movie,audibly snored, woke up during the last few minutes of the movie, and wondered aloud, “Is that Rihanna?!”

Watching Godzilla(2016) and every time and I mean everytime the Japanese said 'gojira' a teenager would yell; "ITS GODZILLA!" or "HIS NAME IS GODZILLA!"
So that was fun since I was a few seats away.

Another teenager behind them tried to explain but was clearly not heard.

Went to watch some horror movie, and a girl in front of me kept looking through her photos in her phone. I politely ask her to turn off her phone cause it's distracting, and she proceeded to mock me -like the teenage bully girl she probably was- so I threw a couple of popcorns at her. It wasn't nice of me, I admit.

They called the usher on me, but the guy juts gave us all a warning. She finally stopped looking at her phone, but by then I had missed the beginning part of the movie.

When the movie ended, they left the theater first and as I was getting out, I see her -and her friends- waiting for me outside, wanting to pick a fight. They were like 15 years old, I was at least 10 years older. I walked passed them and they said something to me which I didn't pay attention to. I walked through the parking lot with them following me, I got in my car and drove away without even looking at them.
I did watch most of the movie, but they honeslty ruinned the experience for me.

During the last ten minutes of Split, a dude two seats away from me pulls out his phone and literally has a full blown, full volume conversation.

Went to see Goosebumps but we were shown the first 10 minutes of The Visit. The trailers scared the f**k out of the small children there.

My first time seeing Infinity War, the guy sitting next to me was vaping every 2 minutes

Was at the cinema watching Alien: Covenant, and the place was pretty sparse, but a young 19-early 20's year old couple decided they would sit directly behind me and my family.

Now, as you can imagine, it wasn't exactly a good clean and family friendly movie, as it naturally featured quite a fair amount of gore, as you'd expect from an Alien movie. However, I don't think the female half of this couple got the memo, as she would loudly shout "Ewww! Gross! What the F**k!" when the movie showed even the slightest bit of blood and gore. All whilst her boyfriend laughed loudly at her response and telling her "it isn't real" and "it's okay babe", cue the truly gross open mouth kissing sounds, and at one point "I'm gonna do you so hard when we go home." Yeah, thanks for sharing.

I do not go to a movie and spend $10 a ticket, then $20 for popcorn and drinks to listen to some a**wipe talk or be disruptive. Everyone in the movie deserves to get their money's worth. It is not a captive audience for your personal pleasure. So, if you are talking I will ask politely for you to lower your voice. If you are on your phone, I will ask you to put it away if you are reachable and throw popcorn at you if you are not. If you don't stop, I get the manager. Simple.

My friend took me to see my first Tyler Perry movie. I don't remember the name of it, but what I got to see/hear of it was good. Though the entire movie, the audience was talking to the screen saying things like "you tell em, girl", "don't you take that from him", "nah uh", "oh, he's gonna get it now", etc. They were just saying it out loud, even yelling it. I had never experienced this. The theater was full. After about 1/2 the movie, I'd had all I could take. I yelled "you guys do know they can't hear you, don't you?" It got deadly quiet for a few minutes, then the whispering started like a breeze going through the audience. My friend leaned over and said "Let's get out of here before you get us both killed." I never saw the rest of the movie, but I still laugh at that audience talking to the screen, and she still loves telling about the time I almost cost her her life at the movies!

Before the they changed to reserved seating, my wife and I were watching a movie in a packed theater and the only open seat was a handicap companion seat next to me. A few minutes into the movie I realized nobody was going to sit there so I put our coats in the seat. 45 minutes later, a young man and his wheelchair-bound mom showed-up and, without saying a word to me, he grabbed our coats and was about to throw them onto the ground! I quickly stopped him and asked what the heck he was doing. Only then did he ask if the seat was taken. When I saw his mom was in a wheelchair, I said "No, it's not taken but you should have asked me first before grabbing someone else's property!" I removed our coats so he could sit down and then they proceeded to talk VERY LOUDLY about the movie, wondering what was going on. He then turned and actually asked ME if I could fill him in on the movie plot since they had arrived so late! I told him, um..NO because it is very rude to talk during a movie and also unfair to the other people who are trying to enjoy the movie and who also arrived on time! He kept talking to his mom but after a few minutes they both left! On his way out he stated he really didn't care about this movie anyway because the movie they were ACTUALLY there to see was about to start!

Saw Carol in a small, 20 person theatre. One girl there alone openly and loudly wept the entire time. She made noises and reacted preemptively, it was clearly her second or third time seeing it. Was so distracted by her I missed almost the entire second half of the movie.

Wore my slightly loose jeans to the movies. Felt good about potential weight loss. Didn't tie a belt because we were rushing.

Got to the theatre. 2 Hands filled with popcorn and snacks. I get to the seats to find my seat in the middle of a long row. I begin walking through a long row of people's toes to get to my seats. I can feel my pants slipping down. Every step I take, my pants are slipping further. I am now 2 seats away from my seat and I am now in front of my friends who were there. I couldn't take another step without my pants falling down. I faked tripping on one of their feet, dropped the pop corn and sat on my friend's lap and as I got up, managed to pull my pants up.

Everyone had a good laugh over goofy me, especially me thanking the stars that I didn't become 'that guy' that day.

Went to see The Nun and had to endure the movie sitting next to someone who doesn’t believe in bathing. Also, he made a lot of choking/hacking noises.
