Why are movie theatres so slow at throwing people out for being annoying?
Because there are very few ushers working the floor. Your average theatre these days has at least ten theatres to keep track of, and chances are there is only one or two ushers working the floor keeping an eye on guest behavior. If even that. What you should do is instead of enduring the annoying guest and getting pissed off is leave and find the damn usher or even the manager. Tell them what’s going on, and they will solve your problem for you. In my experience, if a guest is being annoying, we give them a warning. If they continue to be annoying, we then kick the offending fucker out of the building. However, if Carlyle is right in his predictions about the future of movie theatre experiences, you won’t have to any of that. An all-digital-projection theatre can be run with only one projectionist as oppose to two or three on a busy weekend, which opens up a lot of payroll for more ushers in theatres.
