I don't get how people think they are entitled to their money back if they didn't enjoy the movie.
Honestly, it's not a big deal. if someone leaves early, at least before the halfway point i think there's a legit argument. The theater loses essentially nothing in the transaction.
If the customer(s) purchased concessions, then the theater has already made its money. If the theater is amenable to such requests, then they can likely expect repeat business form such petty customers.
I do think it's a pathetic entitlement attitude to ask for a refund for that reason, of course--but it's not entirely a dickish move from the theater's perspective.
and Honestly--if the movie
does suck, then why should studios keep profiting off of shitty movies? Of course, they'll continue to profit as long as Michael Bay lives and his idiot fans watch his shit...but imagine a world where people go to the theater, buy all the junk food, then flee the next Transformers or The Rock, et al. shitfest within the opening Act and demand their money back. Theaters continue to operate, studios are forced to reconsider their treachery.
