No Disruptive Behavior Allowed, Warns Rhode Island Movie Theater During School Vacation Week

A movie theater in Rhode Island is making one thing clear - moviegoers who are “disruptive” and throw objects at the screen could be asked to leave. 

CWTheaters Lincoln Mall shared its policy on Sunday, and while it did not mention a specific movie - there is one likely culprit. 

Minecraft.

According to BBC, the Minecraft Movie's director says he has been "laughing my brains out" at the trend for audience members shouting out, jumping up and down, and in some cases throwing popcorn in the air during screenings.

"It's way too funny," Jared Hess told the New York Times about fans' exuberant reactions to the film, some of which have been widely shared.

The UK Cinema Association this week noted the "exceptional" crowd response to the movie and its characters, but some cinemas have warned that "anti-social behaviour" like loud screaming, clapping and shouting "will not be tolerated.”

And in Rhode Island, CWTheaters is one of them. 

 

Movie Theater Policy

CWTheaters shared the following: 

"Happy Vacation Week to everyone! We want to make sure everyone is able to enjoy their movie-going experiences this week so please be mindful that you follow our guidelines while at the theater. Please be respectful of fellow patrons and employees. Thank you so much."

They then shared the following message:

Attention Moviegoers:

We are committed to providing all guests with an enjoyable movie experience. In light of recent events, we want to remind everyone that any disruptive behavior, including loud reactions, throwing objects, excessive noise, will not be tolerated. 

Please be respectful of others and keep the theater environment enjoyable for all guests. Those who engage in disruptive behavior may be be asked to leave the theater without a refund.
