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. The depths of stupidity know no bounds.

That is the difference between genius and stupidity, sadly.

While this didn't happen to me, I saw where people were leaving their zucchini's on the cinema floor after seeing 'Fifty Shades Darker."

Just be thankful no nutcase dressed like the Joker came in and blew you all away with an Uzi.

When the Blob remake came out in 1988, there were a couple of goofy girls that screamed every so often towards the beginning of the movie which made other people scared and jump up. Then about halfway through they let out a huge ear piecing shriek and finally left the theatre for good. I can't say that it was particularly annoying, but for me, it did make the movie more scarier than it really was and the overall experience more fun. I was convinced they were part of the film's hype. It was very reminiscent of the gimmicks they used to promote the horror films in the 50's minus the electric currents they hooked up to the theatre seats.
Another memorable moment I had was when me and my girlfriend where making out in an almost empty theatre. We look over a few seats down and there is another couple having full fledged sex and not being very discreet about it. I mean it was more interesting than the movie to say the least. I don't even remember what the film was.
The funniest moment is when this guy pukes a few rows in front of me with about the same force as Regan from The Exorcist. There were concrete floors back then so you could hear these chunky splats just bounce off the walls every time he hurled. He finally gets up and leaves but you can just visualize this vomit oozing down the tiered floors and then people in his line of sight just start to move one by one. There ended up being a section of seats that was just empty so when the next couple come in the theatre, they sit in the exact spot that the guy just threw up in. All you could hear was "Ewwww, what the fuck!"

Weirdest thing was these women came out and started dancing on the stage in front of the cinema screen and taking their clothes off. Then again it was an Adult cinema and they were strippers. Never mind...

Watching The Hobbit with my brother, we're sitting in the front block of seats. About half way through the movie a little kid, no more than six or seven years old, starts running around the block we're in. Wasn't shouting or making noise or anything. Just running down the aisle right past us, across the front, back up the other aisle, across the back, and round and round again. Distracting as hell.
I'm wondering where his parents are or what's going on. On the fifth lap, my brother suddenly leans over as he gets to us and yells "WILL YOU SIT THE FUCK DOWN!"
Half the cinema cracked up. It worked, too. We didn't see him again.

I remember I saw The Hobbit: The Deselation of Smaug and there were people walking up to their seats and one of them tripped on one of the steps. It was pretty funny

Another one Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I was seated waiting for the 15 hour long ads to start and then this couple walks across my row and then the wife says 'we're in the wrong place you tube' then they go to the right seats and then she says 'don't worry I actually love him by the way'

When I saw THE KARATE KID PART 2, there were a couple of teens who kept talking loudly while the movie was going on. I finally had to turn around and tell them to shut up or I'd go get the manager. They said something snotty back, but thankfully they kept quiet afterward.
On a more pleasant note, I was a teen when I went to see THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT. I used to like to sit near the front back then. There were two younger teens in the front row and they saw me sitting my myself. They invited me to come up and sit with them; so I did. We whispered to each other during the movie making commentary on it. It was action-adventure-sci-fi so it was a fun movie to do that during. Afterward, I thanked them for inviting me up because it was a really fun experience.

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. This makes me sad They had no idea how lucky they were to have gotten to see the film in theaters instead of missing it by a series of unfortunate events.

This would probably be the weirdest thing that happened to the people that were there but I was the weirdness. I used to go to the movie theatre with friends almost every weekened when I was a young teen. One evening we were inside the theatre, in our seats and waiting for the movie to start. I dont even remember which movie it was... Anyway out of boredom we all decided it would be funny to get up in front of the screen and sing. The 3 of us got up and sang a whole song and people laughed and clapped and then we watched the movie.
One that did happen to me was... I went with 2 friends on the bus to a far away mall and we ended up seeing Blair Witch 2. After the movie was over everything was closing up and we didnt have enough time to get home on the bus so I called my boyfriend at the time to come get us but he was being an ass and wouldnt come. Luckily the guy that was with us saw some girl he knew that just got out of jail from stabbing her ex boyfriend. He went up to her and her new boyfriend and they offered to drive us home. On the way home we ran into a big brush fire and had to stop to call the fire dept. Then this girl kept hitting on me and showing me her nipple piercings and telling me how I reminded her of the girl with the black hair in the movie. We ended dropping off the friend that knew her 1st since he lived the closest and I got stuck in this very uncomfortable car ride home with my other friend.

I remember seeing goosebumps, and the screen was empty, so the movie was delayed because no one was there, but then the staff were informed that the movie was late starting, so they started the movie, no trailers or ads. Then towards the end of the movie a member of the cinema staff comes in and sees that my screen was in fact wasn't empty.

Went to see Shallow Hal with a couple of friends when we were much younger and we heard a woman scream. So we took turns to go out the door to see what was going on and we could see them on the floor having sex.

My friend told me about a time he was at the cinema with his other friends and a little kid went up to them and took one of the friends popcorn.

I watched Cujo in a very cold cinema (the heating had broken down during winter) and it felt strange watching Dee Wallace suffer from the desert heat while trying to keep myself warm.

I went to see It Follows when it came out in 2015 and the only people, besides me, that were in the theater was some loud ass chick and her wailing baby, and some other woman. Ugh! She wouldn't shut up and shouldn't have brought her child. The movie was great but the experience would've been perfect if that stupid chick wasn't there.

When I saw The Wolverine, a couple of us got up after it appeared that the next reel had not been put on. We went upfront and could not find anyone. I walked into the projector booth and also could not find anyone. I could also see that the reel needed to be changed. So we were all standing up by the popcorn talking about what we should do, when finally the old man who worked there (the only employee) walked in with a bunch of groceries. He just kind of laughed and said oh sorry had to do some shopping.
Earlier, I got popcorn and told him no butter. He squirted some and and I said hey no butter. He hands it to me and said he didn't. I say I just watched you the least you could do is grab those top pieces and toss them. That old guy cracked me up.
Way back in the day, a bunch of us kids went to see young Einstein. The adults went to see something else. There was not many of us in the theater and it only seem to be children. Nobody was really into the movie and after a while we started throwing our popcorn and drinks at the screen eventually we congregate it upfront right in front of the screen and just kind of talked and played and did whatever he wanted to do. Nobody ever came in and did anything about it.

Nothing particularly strange. I remember a group of girls laughing at me and my friends when we went to see "Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging". My friend had chosen the film because he'd heard it was good. The girls loudly mocked us for seeing "a girl's film" and threw popcorn at us. They eventually stopped but it did not improve the film.
At a screening of Ant-Man with only me and 3 other people, a woman left as soon as the movie finished. Me and the other two strangers exchanged looks as if to say "hasn't this broad ever seen a Marvel movie before?" We then proceeded to watch both of the mid-credits scenes. I enjoyed neither of them.
Now I live in China and it's fairly commonplace for people to talk or use their phones during movies, especially English movies with Chinese subtitles, because they figure they're reading the subtitles anyway so it doesn't matter if they talk a little. Once a guy had a full conversation on his phone during the movie but nothing too outrageous.

Nothing really weird has happened when I was in a cinema.
