Can a movie theater permanently kick you out if you sneak into an r-rated film?
Posted on February 10th, 2010 by admin
I am 15 and usually I just see r-rated films with my sisters or parents, but now my sisters are in college and not home and my parents have seen all the r movies I want to see. They wouldn’t really care if I sneaked into a movie and I wouldn’t really care if they kicked me out in the middle of the movie but what I’m afraid of is that I won’t be allowed at that theater ever again. Can they do that?
I know their allowed to but what are the chances they would do that.
The theaters could ban you, but the chances of that are slim at best and here’s why:
1. Most of the time, theater employees won’t check who’s 17 or 18 and older in the middle of the show unless it’s a hit movie. Some might even be cool with it and let you see the movie if you stay quiet.
2. It’s not worth it, and it’s too much hassle for the manager to take time away from important matters and call the police to issue a "no tres passing" order because you were seeing a movie with a few f-bombs, which you probably hear a lot of in school.
What they’ll probably do is tell you to go home or go back to the movie you bought the ticket for. If you’re quite during the movie, you’re good. If you’re loud and causing people to complain, not so much. If you’re disruptive, then your chances of being kicked out permanently go up, but you shouldn’t have to worry about being banned if you’re not causing any problems.

Yes, they can as it is a privately owned business. They can do whatever they want.

No, they cannot. There is a limit, usually 30 to 180 days, and that limit is based on your jurisdiction’s laws. Sometimes it is up to a year. Be glad you weren’t prosecuted. You actually did commit a Theft offense.

The theater can permanently kick you out if they don’t like the color of your shoes.
No business has to serve anyone, as long as their refusal is not based on discrimination against a protected group.
So yes, they can do that, and probably will.

It’s a private business on private property. You break their rules, they can ban you for life if they so desire.
