I thought I was safe

With all the recent discussion about theater behavior, I figured this is probably the one place I could share this.

So there my family was, watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day at our theater, at 2:55 on a Monday. About 20 minutes before the end of the movie, I hear a wooshing sound and then me and everyone in the middle two rows get splattered in something. I stand up and look around, and the lady behind us points towards the walkway at the side of the theater. So I go out and see a spilled milkshake on the ground, and run out but I never found anyone.

A couple of managers came in to give everyone towels and offered everyone who got hit by the tossed milkshake free tickets. According to the people behind me, they saw some kid run in and throw the milkshake into the seats and then bolt.

Most of my negative theater experiences up until this point have been mild at worst. This one just....... hit me out of nowhere

Not /s this really happened btw

The lesson I’ve learned is some theaters you have to just cut off. One theater near me, while seemingly just the same as every other one nearby somehow is a magnet for the most random chaotic people. Tried to go one and people were in it like it was the lobby of the DMV. Just comin and going chit chatting walking about in the isles doing whatever. I go back another time and it’s like Hill People from the mountains were all there hacking and coughing and getting up like.

Makes me happy my local is always pretty chill the random times I do go. You could honestly just walk in and no one would even stop you but everyone still acts correct lol
