I don't think I have... although I was really close with Birdman. I have fallen asleep a few times (Transformers for one)
 
I know I have done it at least once..... I think there may have been a second time. I can't tell you the movie(s) ........ As I got older I would just sit through the suck no matter what :lol:

I will not count the time we left because the people in there were aholes so we left and asked for a refund for another show...... (it was an R Rated flick and some jack hole brought in a stroller and 2 kids)........
 
I have never walked out at the theater. My Mom went to her grave claiming we should have walked out of Back To The Beach, but I remember liking that movie as a kid. It would come up at least once a year for 30 years after.
 
Went to see some movie with my brother at a small local place (only 4 screens total iirc), but they had closed that particular theater room because someone had puked in it so the 7:00 showing of whatever it was got canceled that day. We decided to see Kung Pow - Enter the Fist since we were already there. I don't think we made it a half hour in before we bailed.
 
No, I'm pretty sure I never have.

Somewhat related. Wife and I saw Django Unchained in the theater, and we were the only non-blacks in an almost full theater. That was a little uncomfortable in a few scenes. We considered leaving because it was so uncomfortable, but we just shrunk in our seats. It got better, obviously.

With Frankie and Annette?

The very one. I remember being super excited because it had the girl from RAD and Pee Wee Herman. It was campy AF, but in a good, smart way, at least for 12 yo me. My Mom had grown up on the old Frankie and Annette movies and expected something different.
 
Never actually walked out on one but came close with Gods and Generals. Horrible film and being overly long made it even worse. A long, boring, poorly-acted mess of pure drivel.
 
I have, but more because I had kids with me and one became very ill so I took care of him while my wife stayed. With that said, I was very happy to leave because it was a horrible kids movie that I didn't want to watch. I was happy to spend time in the bathroom, concession stand, and sitting outside vs in the theater with a bunch of young/small kids and a bad attempt of a kids movie.
 
Twice.

Once when I was 19, my girlfriend took me to see Batman forever. We weren’t far into it when she had a better idea.

2004, took my almost 2 year old to see the incredibles. He was good at other movies but I think he must have not been feeling well as he really wanted to leave and I wasn’t going to stay with an upset child in the theater.
 
Definitely have when taking my kids to movies when they were in the 2-3 age range, but I don't think that' the spirit of this poll.

I no have a vague memory that a former girlfriend and I walked out of a movie because it was so bad, but I can't recall which movie. Nonetheless, because of the confidence in that memory, I voted yes - despite forgetting which movie and which ex-gf.

For the last like ten years or so I've very rarely gone to an actual movie because with kids going out opportunities are few and far between and my wife and I will usually want to do something more interactive for a date and we have a pretty nice TV setup at our house so it's only worth going to see movies like Top Gun: Maverik.

This would have been the post of the year if Batman Forever came out 2 years and 9 months prior to The Incredibles.
 
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Horrible movie with some of the worst fake accents I've ever heard. Took a date who wanted to leave and I wasn't about to argue. It sucked.

The Prophecy - my date got up and left after Eric Stoltz French kissed a little girl. I didn't argue. That movie was horrible and that scene was just icky.
 
Movies I wished I'd walked out on

Raising Cain
Cape Fear (with DeNiro)
Monster House
Spider Man: Across the Spider Verse (only because the theater was filled with hoodlums and ne'er do wells)
 
I walked out on one in the early 90's. Don't remember the name of it. But a couple of years later, I slept though the entire Nic Cage film, "Snake Eyes" ... on a first date.
 
Mom and Dad Save the World.

Never heard of it? Good. I was with friends from work. The first 10 minutes were relentlessly annoying and unfunny, so we left and walked into something else that was about to start (don't remember what it was).

I wish I had walked out of Your Friends and Neighbors. Neil LaBute should not have access to a camera.
 
One Crazy Summer.
Batman and Robin.

I'll generally stick it out with anything (I watched the entirety of the 1st Dungeons and Dragons movie), but those were genuine stinkers.
 
In the Neil Labute category... And I like Todd Solandz work, but Happiness trying to humanize a pedophile rapist- no thanks.

How often do they do well? Ne'er. /Gulman

Out of curiosity, why do you wish you walked out of Cape Fear? That movie is like my personal nightmare.* :lmao:


*Not to suggest I've ever intentionally botched a case.

I just remember it being loud and stupid.

A setting that DeNiro seems permanently set to now.

Interesting.

Also, I can only assume you went and saw Spiderman in like Brooklyn Park or Roseville.

Coon Rapids. Never again.

Best theaters around are Alamo Drafthouse. It's a hike for me, but worth the effort. Great popcorn - and I know popcorn. 👨‍🍳 💋

The original Cape Fear (1962) is so much better ... until the very end when it ends so fast you think they ran out of money
 
The girl I was dating took me and her mom to Varsity Blues. They insisted on leaving when the whipped cream bikini made its appearance.
 
Yep. I remember the movie. Fahrenheit 451 by Michael Moore. Considering what my politics were at the time, I don't know what I could have expected to go any differently.
 
Nope. I don't go to the theater very often - when I do, it's for a movie that I'm very likely to enjoy.
 
the best movie ever made is a little diddy called church ball it is a great story about a rag tag group of rapscallions who win a basketball game no one would ever walk out on it ever take that to the bank brohans

Huh, I think it was for Incredibles 2 where my son wasn't feeling good (too much buttery popcorn) so my wife took him out of the theatre halfway through. We had driven separately so they went home and he proceeded to yack everywhere. Me and the daughter stayed, so no, can't say I've ever walked out of a movie. And I saw Howard the Duck like 3 times the summer it came out. :oldunsure:
