....movie is over? Don't a lot of people do this? I mean before the movie that you paid to see or after it, you go and watch.....




....another movie that is also playing at the theater? I do this sometimes do you? It doesn't seem like the theater people care, or check

I did it once in my life. Bought tickets for Monsters University, watched that, then we went into Despicable Me #2.

It's something that I'm shocked doesn't happen more often. It's free reign once you get past the ticket counter.

I dunno, I mean I remember feeling pretty burnt out after two full-blown movies in theaters in a row. Maybe they just assume it happens a bit, but doesn't happen a lot because seeing a movie in theaters really takes it out of you, not to mention that you can be dedicating 4+ hours of your day there. I mean that's a big chunk, and I can't imagine, even as an adult, wanting to spend my weekend that way (especially now that I'm an adult with disposable income and don't mind spending $10 at a later date if it means I can see the movies on different days).

Unless there are two movies that I REALLY want to see and the showtimes work out well, I doubt I'll ever do it again. But as far as the rest of this year is concerned, the releases for movies I plan on seeing are far enough apart that I'd be waiting for two months before seeing them or something (i.e. I wouldn't wait two months to see Spiderman just so I could save $10 and walk into Kingsman 2 right after - and that's assuming Spiderman is still in theaters).

One time I saw a guy come buy a ticket for a different movie after having just seen one and the person at the counter was like didn't you just see a movie? And he was like yeah I want to see another one and the lady was like oh next time just go to the other movie we don't care

But obviously that could just be that one theater

I've done it a couple times.

You have to be with the right people though. Some people are barely sit though one movie let alone two.

I've considered it, but I never bothered either due to the start times not lining up right, nothing else I want playing at the time, movie fatigue, or the fact that I've been with other people who would object.

I somewhat wonder what the penalty would be if caught. I assume you'd be ejected for starters, but I'm wondering if they'd try to make you pay, try to ban you, or try to call the cops.

I'm sure it does, but it's probably also somewhat policed.

tbh, most people don't go alone. I've only gone alone to a handful of films over the years and that was mostly because I was doing a matinee to save money. Back in college for instance, there were one or two semesters where I had mostly night classes so I'd be going to the movies before 11am which was when everybody else was in class.

My theaters sometimes had an usher waiting when you'd come out which I assume was only there to make sure you weren't walking into another film. You'd also occasionally see ushers walk into theaters with flashlights.

I could see that happening with like 1-2-3 screen theaters...but the typical theater I go to is the normal AMC multiplex where the hallways are legit devoid of any employees once you pass the ticket counter.

Occasionally. And you're right, I have done the "double feature" by myself :)

I've wondered about this too. I just got home from Wonder Woman, and there was no one except the ticket guy, and the food guy. I think they were the only ones on duty today.

When it first opened though, they had tons of security. A guy guarding the entrance to the hallway, an couple of ushers to walk you to the proper room, and ushers at the exit ti watch if anyone tried to switch movies. Now they don't care one bit. It's always just the vending guys and sometimes a manager hanging out.

I'm surprised I've never seen anyone go to another for free, especially since we're all left unattended once you have a ticket. I guess people are more trustworthy than most would think.

I just got back from wonder woman as well, it was actually quite good.

I don't really ever want to watch 2 movies in a row at the theaters though.

I have been given free tickets for multiple viewings in one day, but never just told they don't care. Probably not something an employee should be saying lol.

I've done it a handful of times but only because plans fell through and I didn't have to be anywhere for 4 hours.
It started happening a lot more at the theater by my highschool so they got rid of the movie names and times and just have theater numbers in the lobby. You need to look at your ticket to see what theater to go to.

As long as security isn't looking very closely, yes I will occasionally sneak into other movies to watch a few minutes of it. Theater prices have long gotten expensive for seeing movies(especially at night), on top of(obviously) concession prices. So I don't feel bad about doing it.

Luckily, the multiplexes I do this at usually don't check very closely, and it's surprisingly easy to do. As long as you look carefully for where employees are stationed and see they aren't checking closely, you're good to go for doing this.

The bigger multiplexes, are usually the easier ones to sneak between theaters. The smaller ones(i.e. old fashioned 3 or 5 theater only theaters, where I can only think of a few such theaters like that left), not so much.

Btw Wonder Woman is yet another movie where Zeus's biggest roll is sleeping around.

Seriously, he has more kids in movies then any other character.
