Current Events > Anyone ever go to a movie and then sneak into a second one afterwards?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not that I would ever.

Just a few times. Once was when I was young and apparently I was spooked watching Star Trek 3 so we left that and went to (I believe) Cannonball Run 2.

No, but it's always run through my head when I'm there how easy it would be to just sneak into another theater.

My gf when I was like 12 or 13 talked me into agreeing to do this only for her to be the one to wuss out lmao

My high school ex and I used to do it almost every time we went. There was usually a couple things we wanted to see so after the first movie we'd go to the bathroom then hang out in the lobby for a few minutes then move on to the next movie.

We were pretty recognizable since it was during our goth phase but nobody ever noticed or cared enough to say anything lol.

I did 1-2 times back in middle and high school. I always felt bad about it and stopped after the 2nd time.

Only did it once. But it was late at night so no one else was actually in there. They shut the movie off after 15 minutes.

Nope. Only "bad" thing I ever did at a theatre was bought a ticket for Terminator 2 at the dollar theatre when I was only 16. Spent about the first half hour paranoid that my friend and I would get kicked out.

They dont generally care these days if you talk about historical cases of you breaking the law, as long as you arent encouraging others to repeat it. (Probably a bit different if it was something serious like murder, but they arent going to for this.)

A theater around here has handicap accessible door buttons on the outside of the exit doors. My wife and I went in thinking it was an entrance only to find ourselves on the theater-seating side. We saw beyond where you buy tickets, where a long line was and were like, uh nah.

My friend dragged me to How High (2001). There wasn't an open seat in the place. There was a complaint. An usher showed up and told everyone that didn't have a ticket to leave...half the place left.

All the time when i was younger. My friends and i would see like 2 or 3 movies depending wat was showing.

Only once, (this is really going to date me). Back in college, a bunch of buddies and I dropped acid and went to see Star Trek Generations, then snuck into Interview With the Vampire. Shit was wild.

Many times as a teenager.

The first multiplex near me more or less invited it. All the screens were past a gate where you needed a ticket, but the side with all the screens had toilets, food stands, comfortable waiting areas and a big screen telling you which film was being shown in which screen at which time. Made it all very easy.

As someone who manages a theater, it's one of those things that we'll do something about it if we catch it, otherwise it isn't a high priority.
Although in the reserved seating Era, it can sometimes be harder on a busy night.
My favorite is on slow nights when someone sneaks into a show with 0 sales. The projector turns the bulb and sound off after 30 minutes. When they come out to complain and we ask to check their ticket. Good times.

Only done that like twice because it was in a mall and with other teens at the time. It was too hot to walk home and we ran out of money.

I tried once, as a kid, but got caught.

I've never tried since.

even if I watched one movie after another, I'd leave the initial movie and then go and buy a ticket for the next one.

You wouldn't steal a car

Nah. I once paid to see two different movies and learned that was too much theatre time for one day. They were great movies (War for the Planet of the Apes and Spider-Man Homecoming) but by the end of the second I was ready to go home.

Yeah all the time. I still do it even though I have AMC A-list and can see 4 a week. Sometimes I wanna see more than that so I'll walk into another.

I remember watching two movies for a discount, "Double Feature". "Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot" & "Beethoven"...I was a child, I didn't think that was weird.

Nope.
