Movie Theaters

Anybody walk into another movie after you've seen one you paid for?

Once or twice. I don't make a habbit of it. Too much sitting for me usually.

Nope. I'd be ashamed to be so cheap as to theatre hop.

okkk

In fact, the only time I think I've ever done that is for the TCM remake. I wanted to see it so I could criticize it, but I didn't want to give them money. So, I paid for Runaway Jury,and snuck into TCM when I was done watching Jury.

Thats not exactly what im talking about,but more power to ya 😉

That's exactly what you're talking about, theater hopping is what it's called. Watching one movie, then sneaking into another one.

Oh I thought you meant you paid for "Runaway Jury" but went into TMC.

What? You take offense to me calling theatre hoppers thieves? It's the truth.

I do it most of the time just because I dont have the money

One time I rented a movie and watched it twice 😗

There are few things more satisfying then to see a bad movie for free. I would have been hugely upset had I paid for that piece of trash TCM remake, but since I saw it for free after seeing a half decent film it was bearable. I was happy that I didn't give them money they didn't deserve.

I'd suggest doing some chores, earn an allowance, or only see the movies you can actually afford to view. You can always wait for the movie to come out on video, as well.

I'm telling. 😒 🙁 🙄

I, on the other hand completely condone and promote movie hopping. There are very few movies actually worth paying for. Especially with the constantly rising ticket prices.

If you can get away with sneaking into a movie, more power too you. If you have the patience to watch 2 movies in a row at a theater, more power to you.

Look at this way......

...sometimes a movie SUUUUUCKS so much that you want your money back. Since there are no refunds.....is perfectly fine to sneak in and watch another movie for free. Is one way to get your money back.

Yup, that's my logic. 😎

If it's not worth paying to see, why waste your time seeing it at all? Most places, if you go to a matinee it's about $5.

I guess honesty and integrity are extinct human traits. The remorse from the possibility that my selfish desires could have gotten someone fired, or the fact I am cheating someone out of the few cents they make off of a movie would be a pretty heavy burden for me to carry around.

Becuase most of the time you don't know ahead of time that it's not worth the money. You only realize that after the fact. Had I known ahead of time that I'd want my money back after veiwing AvP, The Passion, and Underworld, I never would have seen them, period.

Also, not everyone has time to go to a matinee.

Like I said, I personally don't movie hop. But I don't think it's a big deal if some people do.

Also, people don't get fired if someone sneaks into a movie theater. In fact they usually have no way of knowing, and don't actually lose any money. You wouldn't have seen the movie you're sneaking into anyways if you had to pay for it, so therefore either way they make the same amount of money.

My friend used to work in a theater and he said that he didn't care when people movie hopped, it didn't hurt them in any way.

I wanna try 2 to movie-hop some day.

Is it the same as bar-hopping and island-hopping?

Stealing a candy bar or a bucket of popcorn (I know it sounds dumb BUT I'm trying to make a point!) would be wrong. Sneaking into another theather in a multiplex to watch another movie it ain't wrong. No big deal! The only thing that would make it wrong is to sit in a seat in which some else paid for it. Still, since some theathers don't have assign seats in the tickets there is nothing wrong. That's all!
