"When you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don't ruin the movie, they hear 'Please cut off your left arm above the elbow,''' he said. "You can't tell a 22-year-old to turn off their cell phone. That's not how they live their life."
AMC reversed its course on Friday morning and has banned texting at all of their locations.
"With your advice in hand, there will be no texting allowed in any of the auditoriums at AMC Theatres. Not today, not tomorrow and not in the foreseeable future," Aron said in the press release.
Aron also says AMC plans to invest $1 billion to enhance their theaters and systems by increasing the number of large screens, provide more comfortable seating and add new food and beverage items.
Glad to hear it, the light from the screens is distracting. I turn in every little bastard that opens their phone in the movies, I demand they be shut off. I have the movie personal tell the kids to shut it off or leave. Tickets are too expensive to be interrupted by a bunch of teens playing on their phones.

Thank you and good luck with enforcing this. I already feel sorry for the employees.
ReplyDeleteThey are just begging people to text on purpose.
