Let people enjoy a movie for fuck sake. Oh no people clapped because Jack Black said Minecraft boo hoo.
Grow up people if your kids are bothered by crowds and loud noises that bad maybe have a conversation with them that other people exist and have a whole life they wanna live too
Movie theaters rely on an intact social contract for them to work. These movies aren’t filmed in front of a live studio audience, the actors can’t pause to wait for audience reactions. If I spend $20 for a ticket for a single viewing and miss a line because of people talking, being on their phone, air otherwise acting a fool. I’d be upset, I’m sure plenty of people are asking for their money back because of disruptions during the showing. If a theater becomes known for disruptions then they will lose customers and go out of business.
No that isn’t true. Which line did you miss of the kids movie because they had fun, can I help you? The kids of EVERY generation has done shit like this. Stop being so boring
If I had multiple bad experiences I definitely would consider stop watching movies in theaters.
If enough people stopped watching then theaters would go out of business for everyone so I understand why they are trying to crack down on disruptive viewers
Yeah if I went to an audience participation movie and some bitch was whining about others enjoying themselves in a non traditional way then I would start avoiding theaters more too
That’s the concept of voting with your wallet and that’s something we should do more of. Neither way is correct, but if enough people were to vote with their wallet, we could have “quiet please” and “audience participation encouraged” niches being filled by smaller theater operators instead of soulless corporate owned megaplexes.
Nah completely disagree. Your enjoyment doesn’t matter more than another’s, I like theaters with energy. Obviously it matters movie to movie but if you’re going in for a horror movie and don’t expect gasps and screams or an action movie and don’t expect possibly some cheers watch the movie at home.
Part of the theater is going to the crowd. Why would you assume a child’s movie would be quiet? They never are and never will be
I wouldn’t expect a children’s movie to be silent because kids are still learning how to act in public. The Minecraft movie is not one that would care that much about.
I also don’t think a movie theater is the place for audience interaction, a live show for certain kinds of entertainers or certain sporting events are a more appropriate venue for that.
Not that your preferences in theatre energy are wrong but I don’t agree that you ought to get to be loud because my enjoyment is not more important than yours. Some people get enjoyment out of teasing or trolling others. If your enjoyment is negatively impacting my enjoyment then it’s not acceptable in my opinion. That’s the social contracts. You can still enjoy a movie without being disruptive. Or you can be disruptive as much as you want in a private showing.
the Minecraft movie was announced more than 10 years ago, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect that teenagers will want to have fun in a place where there is no expectation they should clean up and where the only people getting an interrupted experience were toddlers disrupting movies when the movie was announced.
Oh my god society is pathetic.

It’s not just clapping, it’s people throwing popcorn and running around the isles screaming. And not kids, teens.
It’s like fucking Rocky Horror Picture Show, but most of the audience didn’t sign up for the interactive show
So exactly like Rocky Horror Picture Show
Yep, except the people going to see that expect audience partici…
…pation 😝
Wtf is a Rocky Horror Picture Show?

If you want a perfect personal viewing experience don’t watch movies in public?
That’s such a bad take. Do you not know about movie theaters? Or theaters?
They actually tell you to turn off your ringer before the movie and to be mindful of others.
Next you’re gonna be telling people not to expect quiet at a library.
Im sorry but if you go see a participational movie expect to see the audience participate.
Just another reason to never go to a public movie theater.
I’m sorry I think you may be confused about terminology here. Give me an example of a movie which enlists audience participation.
