Long work day, wasn't feeling it but went anyways even though i watched it like 2 days ago. I go, buy the ticket. Theatre is 85% packed. We sit and start watching it. 1 hour in some stupid guy pulls the fire alarm, sound cuts off but picture continues. We were asked to leave and stand outside for safety reasons.
There was no fire, AMC employee confirmed it because he said he saw the guy pulling it and running away. Here comes the first crazy part. People start going back in without and official response from AMC employee. What if there was an actual big fire? i guess they saw the fire truck leave and one guy started going back ...sheep herd then i guess.
Now we are all back in, screen is off, no sound. Screen comes back with no sound. Am like no more of this, i pull out my phone and start playing THE DARK KNIGHT on my phone and sync the timings 0_0 so now we have world's second largest IMAX screen with the sound coming from my phone, everyone started laughing, clapping...it was batshit crazy hehehe...i synced it to the second, it was on point lol. I was the knight in the dark LOL. Then some people from the right and left side continued the idea and started playing it from their phones too, custom surroud sound LOL
Screen went off too eventually because i think AMC employees gave up, it was midnight already but i wanted to speak with the manager.
I found him. I kindly requested if i can visit the projection room since its my favorite theatre and been going there from years but he respectfully denied since it's against the rules for public to go in there. I won't quit, i will ask AMC HQ for permission soon along with some suggestion for that theatre like they need a all building intercom incase they need to announce something to everyone. People were so confused in the beginning since no one came to announce anything until after 15 minutes.
Manager was cool enough to hand me one extra re entry pass.
What was your craziest/weird theatre experience? and what suggestion would you give them ?
