I went to watch Prometheus in 2012.. and half-way through the movie, two guys started fighting at the back of the cinema. One of them kept making farting sounds and this roided up guy got really pissed off. This happened just as Shaw was getting her stomach cut open.. so half the audience were taking their glasses off, turning around.. while the other half kept watching the movie. A few of them were doing both I could see like 50 people holding their glasses in front, turning their heads round to the back and turning to look through the glasses. Eventually one of the guys got knocked out.. the police came, and we all got our tickets refunded, the projectionist rewound the movie back to the scene where Shaw got cut open.

My Assassins creed screening was empty. I blame the Oscar hopefuls

Watching Watchmen with a group of kids in the theater. It was so awkward that someone behind yelled out loud, "WTF!?", at one of the sex scenes. One lady even came out the theater saying how terrible the film was. Just goes to show how clueless the general audiences can be about comics.

1. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Johnny Depp version): This kid, about 7 or 8, literally kept talking throughout the whole film. Not once did he ever shut up. 2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II: The lights come on about 3/4 into the film. Got free tickets afterwards.

In 1997, I went to the theater to see the SciFi-Horror film "Event Horizon" (1997). No one else went there to see it when I did, so I had a private showing. It it was just me. That's the only time that has ever happened to me.
Of course, when it started to get a bit scary, I started looking around the theater to see if anyone else is there... You know, "Misery Loves Company"? But I was all alone with those large disturbing images being shoved in my face, and hearing all the loud audio too... I was glad when the movie was over, and I was able to get "Back To Reality". LOL!

My family went to the Veggietales "Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" movie. One of my little brothers, when he would watch a Veggietales episode, would shout the title of the episode when it showed up onscreen. When we went to the theatre, he didn't realize that watching a movie is different from watching TV, and literally shouted, "THE PIRATES WHO DON'T DO ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!" when the title came on.
Later, when he was done eating his popcorn, he threw the container across the room, and it hit somebody in the head.
I realized only a few minutes into the movie that almost every person there was a family with kids who watched Veggietales. Throughout the movie, I kept hearing people whispering to one another. "Where's Bob? Bob should be on here. He's one of the main characters of Veggietales." It just kept going and going on and on throughout the movie, the audience members whispering, "Where's Bob?" Finally, at the very end of the movie, right before the ending credits came on, Bob appeared in a brief cameo as a camera man, and almost everybody in the audience shouted, at the exact same time, "THERE'S BOB!!!!!!!!!" It was hilarious.

My brothers and I did the same thing, but only when the DVD came out, because the theater we were at turned the movie off right as the credits started.

I now can't even remember the film, but whatever it was, I was near the front and a couple were having a full-on domestic up the back: standing, shouting, brink of physical violence, or so I gather.
The cinema gave me a free ticket, despite my insistence (which was true) that I hadn't even noticed. Whatever the film was, I was into it.

I once got tickets for a special midnight premier showing of Alien Resurrection, & we were the only people in the theater. Though it was actually pretty fun because we said "fuck it," climbed over the seats instead of going through the isles & sat wherever we wanted, hooting at the sillyness of the film onscreen without anyone to shoosh us.

I went to see Stripes with 2 friends when I was around 13 or 14. One friend was about 10 (nobody cared about age restrictions back then in our theatre), in the scene where John Larroquette's character Capt. Stillman is looking into the female shower with the binoculars the younger friend shouted out loud in a dead quiet and fairly packed theatre "LOOK AT ALL THE HAIR !" referring to their pubes. I guess he never saw a naked woman before and didn't have pubes himself.....I felt like crawling under the seat.

A guy with an honest-to-God big hunkin' afro sat right in front of me once. It completely blocked my view of the screen and I had to move over a seat. I had, prior to that, thought such instances were something made up for comedy films. I guess truth really is stranger than fiction.

Nothing too weird has ever happened to me, but I was supposed to go see The Neon Demon with my friend, but I had to work. Apparently there was a guy in the theater who spent most of the movie turned around facing the audience and then at one point he got up and left the theater, but left his large backpack behind. My friend, who thought it was a bomb, picked up the backpack and carried it outside of the theater and saw the guy standing there looking frightened or nervous.

My dad is a big trekkie, & when i was in town visiting we went to see Star Trek: First Contact, & I couldn't even remember the first half of the movie, cause this older guy was in the front rows making loud remarks & yelling at times.
Then, he sparks up a joint and is sitting there smoking... the smoke was in between the projector & the screen & no one could see what was happening...
And then, some nice looking guy with glasses loses it & stands up, grabs the guys joint & throws it out. The audience then clapped and applauded the nice guy, & everyone just went back to the movie.

I'm shocked the theater didn't throw him out.

Oh, they did, but it was about 10 minutes later. The old guy was quiet for a bit, then just started up with more outbursts. I kinda felt sorry for him, maybe he was just drunk & wanted to have a good 'ol time, but at the time i was also kinda angry, cause we were paying customers & all.
Also, this happened in Colorado, where things like that just happened back then sometimes. Not so much these days.

Yeah, back in the day it was just high-school kids working at the theater part-time w/o security & whatnot, who would enforce anything? I guess people had to be proactive in some sense, back then, these days people are generally much more considerate in public.

Indeed. Speaking of odd theater experiences, you story reminded of something that happened at one of cinemas in my local area. I wasn't there to witness it, but it did make the papers. Basically, a bunch of people misbehaved at the latest "Purge" film and had to be escorted out. Unfortunately, I think I also heard that was hardly a unique thing.
Ugh... if you're misbehaving at one of the "Purge" films, you are definitely missing the point they're trying to convey.

That is odd, never had that particular experience, though i don't think i would go to the theater to see a movie like that, i usually wait for movies that i really wanna see.
Do you think they were faking it/ paid actors? this sometimes happens to get free/ artificial news/ hype to get more attention for a film.

None of the towns or cities in my area are big enough or on the radar enough to warrant a staged event like that. No, this was just plain stupidity, I'm afraid.
