“Martin Scorsese no longer watches films in cinemas due to audience bad behaviour” - has your theatregoing been affected in the same way? — Page 2

I have AMC A-List and see 3-4 movies a month on average. Since you can see how many tickets are reserved for any screening, I do lean toward the less-popular showtimes - usually matinees - to mitigate the chances by having fewer people present.

And in re: Broadway - no, "bad audience behavior" doesn't discourage me from attending.

Because a large corner of TikTok seems to think so, and some are actually creating an uproar if they're told not to sing during the movie, others griping that their theater was "too quiet" and they walked out."

Ugh. I was thinking about going to see this tomorrow, but now I guess I won’t.

The AMC Times Square has a problem with people "holding court" in the theatre all day. I don't know if they buy tickets or sneak in due to the elevators and Dave & Busters. But you get a lot of teens, and a lot of homeless people (many of whom enter mid-show and walk in front of the screen), and very few of them are actually there to watch the movie.

I don't want a private screening when I go to the theater! I enjoy the communal element of it (as long as folks are behaving) and a controlled environment as much as I like the big-screen element.

I have just suffered through MJ The Musical in Melbourne Australia, where people shrieked and hollered non stop at every dance move, sung along, and screamed at every note they thought they knew. Unbearable.
