+1. I saw it at The Boro in Tyson's yesterday at 5:30 - theater wasn't packed, but was full for a Monday! And we picked 5:30 over the 6 and 7pm shows because the only seats left at those times were first three rows.

It’s not that dramatic? I’ve left movies before when I was bored and didn’t want to waste another hour sitting there. No need to be dramatic about it, just grab stuff and leave. I’m sure plenty of people have left movies you’ve been at, you just didn’t notice.

Idk. Maybe you imagine this big flouncing scene or something?

Do you go to movies by yourself? I can't imagine getting up and making everyone I'm with leave because I'm "bored" most people just take a nap or something.

No, I usually go with my DH. We have a hand signal if one of us is getting bored and wants to leave. We actually usually agree but in the event that we don’t, the other person just swings back and picks up the one who wanted to stay. The entire decision is done silently. It’s not that frequent for us but we’ve certainly done it. I’ve also just left the theater and waited in the lobby.

I’m not the only person for sure, I’ve had the experience where I left a movie and ended up chatting in the lobby with someone who did the same thing. You just don’t notice the people who leave but it isn’t uncommon.

I hope you reserve end seats so you don't disturb an entire row of people 20 minutes into the movie because you're "bored" and have the attention span of a gnat.

Goodness. It must be hard to go through life so sensitive.

Golly. What’s it like being so hard to please that you need special hand signals with your spouse because you can’t handle a 2 hour movie and would rather chat up strangers?

Yes, touching my husband’s wrist and making the universal let’s go movement with my thumb is so hard to understand. Sometimes we are holding hands already and manage the entire decision without letting go. It is indeed mysterious. I suppose you are not in a happy long-term marriage and so don’t understand how long-term spouses that love each other don’t need to use words at all to communicate. But I assure you, it happens.

Sometimes I think there are posters on DCUM who are actually aliens, because they are so mystified by the idea of people who do not think and act exactly the way they do.

You don’t have to enjoy all movies and you don’t have to sit there and grimly endure movies you don’t like because you bought a ticket. It’s okay to not like a movie and it’s okay to leave. Really, I promise.

How often do you go to the movies and how often do you leave? Just, ballpark. I love going to the movies and have only walked out a couple of times - but if this were a regular thing for me, I have to think I'd really just stop going to the movies!

Do you read reviews before you go or are you just showing up and popping into whatever happens to be playing or something? What movies do you actually like?

I used to go to the movies all the time pre-pandemic. I didn’t leave very frequently, maybe once or twice a year at most? Post-pandemic, I go a lot less. I haven’t left a movie since the pandemic, though I contemplated it for Barbie (but in the end didn’t leave).

I leave in cases of excessive violence beyond what I expected, or if I am getting really bored. The problem with the boredom is that I have a bad back which I start to really notice if the movie isn’t engaging and it becomes really uncomfortable. I always have back issues but if I’m not engaged in the movie, I find the regular ache I have intrudes more.

I hate spoilers so try not to read much of anything before I go. I also like to reach my own opinion on movies without influence of critics, so I read the reviews after I see a movie. So I probably know less about movies than some going in, but I am willing to cut my losses.

That makes more sense. Right after 9/11 I had to leave a movie where a building blew up and suddenly I found myself having a panic attack.

Well, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy Barbie. We got tix for this coming weekend and I feel like my expectations are probably too high but I do think I am going to enjoy it.

Agree--this is an odd thread. The movie was both fun and meaningful at the same time. People clapped and cheered and the audience was mostly women. This is like the TS concert of movies. Everyone is arriving in theme, people are having a good time, and generally supportive and positive. I don't see what the big deal is and why the thread has devolved into a discussion about leaving movies early. So weird.

It does seem there are some posts that seem to disparage the movie in attempts to discourage some from seeing it in addition to the deflection with leaving a film early or secret hand gesture. Such posts read differently than posts with negative opinions of the movie for the sake of conversation.

The audience was present, positive, and laughed throughout the film.

I like to have a special hand signal for leaving a movie, instead of just using my mouth to say words to the person I’m with. Also, f**k them if they were enjoying the movie and want to see the rest of it

You know that people are leaving and not just going to the restroom? These posts read as so inauthentic. Nobody actually cares if your liked Barbie or not but proclaiming you are so bored in the first 10 minutes just doesn’t ring true.

Leave the movie if you want. They still got your money so who really cares.... A weird flex.

I go to the movies every few weeks. I’m not paying a bunch of money for tickets and snacks just to walk out of the theater because something was loud, or violent, or kind of boring. Grow up.

This seems odd to me. Most of these Barbie shows have been sold out. So are you making everyone get up in the middle of the movie so you don't have to stay? (Let me guess, you are going to tell us how you always get seats that are strategically situated so you can walk out with bothering others).

Most theaters are stadium seating now and it’s very easy to get out of your row without making anyone get up. Plenty of space in between the rows too.

Not for your fat ass

Man, you Barbie fangirls are really weird and bizarrely invested.

It is okay if someone doesn’t like a movie. Really. Take a deep breath and consider going outside.

+1 pre pandemic I went to the movies EVERY weekend. Not all movies were hits but walking out never crossed my mind. 10 minutes in you don't know if it's going to pick up speed, have an unexpected twist, etc. Seems silly to me and does read as someone childish with no attention span.

I went Friday with a male friend and we had a great time. there were some parts that moved a little slowly but overall I loved it and will gladly watch it again. I think the speech by America's character was a bit much - but it was true...
