Have you ever walked out of a movie?

Walked out of Bruno.

Also walked out of Her, not because it's a bad film (it's not) but because the audience was annoying. Constant giggling at the sex scenes, and lots of heckling. Very immature.

You don't lose your money; if you leave before halfway they'll usually refund your ticket or replace it with a free ticket for something else.

Walking out of movies is retarded. What a waste of money.

tfw movie tickets at the local theater are $8 ($6 for Matinee).

But no, I've never walked out of a movie.

Never heard of this. I probably couldn't bring myself to do that anyway. Seems entitled.

It is entitled. You're the consumer of their service, and if what they're providing isn't up to what you wanted, you're entitled to a refund.

If you've seen Bruno, you probably understand why I left.

I don't know, it doesn't seem right to me. Like, at all. Because... it's not their fault the movie sucked.

I guess I'd have to know the dividends and shit first. How much of the money goes to the studio itself?

I walked out of Avatar.

No, not TLA

Apparently, the theater only takes a small fraction of the profits. Makes sense. I guess that's not so bad, then.

It's kind of like returning a game to Gamestop within their trial period. If it sucks, it's not Gamestop's fault, but their business exists to distribute the work of others. And ultimately, they're going to keep the money in-house by providing a different ticket, which is another opportunity for concession sales (as well as to keep a dissatisfied customer).

Fair enough.

People still go to movie theaters? Shit, I just wait like month or two and get the movie out of redbox if I want to watch something.

I walked out on I am Legend because they put the volume too high, so every time one of the zombie vampire things screamed it was ear piercingly loud
