Do movies at adult theaters count?

There's been a few movies my wife dragged me to that I would have walked out on if I had the option. Vanity Fair, Mama Mia, Atonement, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, etc.

Bowfinger

Funniest walkout I witnessed was watching The Jackal. When Bruce kissed another dude, a whole row of guys behind us got up and left while saying, "No Bruce! Nooooo!"

Double feature at the drive in

Xanadu comes on and our mom either needed more cigs or a drink but she drove right the f outta there

This thread confirms that people have wildly varying tastes. A lot of you walking out of good movies.

Once I start a movie I've got to finish it, so I've never considered this in a theater. There are definitely some times I wished I turned the tv off, but I've got to see the end.

The Gods Must Be Crazy

it was just dumb


My wife walked out of Pulp Fiction - hated it - I refused to leave because I loved it. she sat in the car waiting for me for an hour or more. Had a big fight about it. lol.

She swore off any and all Tarantino movies from that experience while I became a diehard fan.

Several years later (maybe 10-12 based on release) she flipped across Kill bill vol. 1 not knowing it was Tarantino. She watched til the end and declared she loved the movie - very artistic, etc.... then I told her it was Tarantino. She had a good laugh and said well she liked that one but still hated Pulp Fiction. she later watched and loved Part 2 also. Big fan of those 2 movies. Because of that was at least willing to see Inglorious Basterds and liked it but disliked Django Unchained and would not go to Hateful 8. I think I can get her to Once Upon a Time in hollywood though.

Another for Natural Born Kilers.

I wanted to walk out on Pulp Fiction, which I've watched many times since then.

Speed racer
Tron

My boss's daughter (Ashton Kutcher 2003)

The highest number of walkouts I witnessed was for The Hills Have Eyes. Easily 15+ people walked out. Small town Texas was not a fan that night.

I stayed of course.

Manchester By The Sea but not because it was bad.

The fire scene.

Dinner with Schmucks.

I can't recall walking out of a theater early (I bemusedly sat through Battlefield Earth), but, while watching at home, I did turn off Last Jedi during the casino scene and haven't gone back to it.

You saw The Gods Must be Crazy in theaters? That's actually impressive.

Boogeyman (2005). My little sister wanted to go see it. She was scared ****less & didn't want to stay, the movie sucked anyway so I didn't mind leaving.

Never in theater.

2 movies stopped at home and couldn't finish:
Spring Breakers
Dinner with Schmucksp

Interesting, my wife wouldn't ever drag me to movies like that. In turn, I never drag her to war movies or movies that I know she wouldn't like.

There are very rare exceptions - if she really wants to see a movie before it leaves and doesn't have anyone to go with, I'll go.

My family and I left Arachnophobia because I was scared and 8yrs old.

I recommended that my church youth group go and see Fargo at the dollar theatre because it was getting Oscar buzz. Bad idea. I was not allowed to pick a movie any longer after that

wait ...you recommended a church youth group to go to an R rated movie?/????

In fact it's MPAA rating which also includes a description said:

"Rated R for strong violence, language and sexuality."

that's on you.

a church "youth" group full of people old enough to purchase tickets to an r-rated movie seems kind of near its expiration date anyway.

Cutthroat Island
FaceOff
Phat Beach

Why would I even pay to see those movies?!

Y'all are crazy. Spring breakers is brilliant. This scene is as good as anything in Glengarry

I've never walked out on one myself but I'll never forget all the people walking out when my buddy and I saw "Bruno".

Spoiler tags man

Stuck on you is the only one I can remember walking out on.

Jurassic Park. Not because it was bad but because I was a scared 8 year old. Pissed my dad off because he was excited to see it.

I made it through on my second attempt.

And the Hot Chick. I felt bad about that because somebody else paid for my ticket.

Spring Breakers is incredible

Cyborg (1989 Jean-Claude Van Damme) - just a complete ridiculous mess with the highest body count supposedly of all-time (don't care enough to look it up though).

Me and two buddies walked out but were able to sneak in Major League just as it was starting...talk about a Wild Thing save.

I remember another - Superstar.

I rented it and turned it off after 15 minutes. There are many movies I haven't finished, but I aborted this one quickly and would have done the same if I was in a theater.

Hero with Jet Li.

When it became battle of the primary colors I had enough. Only movie I have ever left.

Speaking of church youth groups, somehow the daughter of our Baptist Youth Group leader managed to get her mom to rent and start showing All The Right Moves during a youth Lock-in. HahahahaahhHahHHa. Man. That got shut off quick when Lea Thompson got naked.

First Tron or the sequel?

Ironically considering the thread title, Stepbrothers is the only movie I've ever walked out on.

I walked out of Avatar. That movie just kept dragging on and on. For the life of me I still can't understand why so many people thought it was a great movie.
