As a former theater employee I can tell you most of this is crap. Please stop feeding people crap. To number ten, it’s policy for someone to check all theaters before locking up, also most theaters have cleaning crews that come in not long after the employees of the theater leave, so I’m not real sure how a man got locked in. To number nine, most theaters would never turn up the volume louder than needed. That’s when you can hear flaws in the sound systems if there are any. Half the time the movies are slightly lower than 85, just so it takes less of a toll on the speakers. To number eight, you yourself said they would save 12 cents. That’s saving money. Maybe not much but it’s saving. More often than not combos cost the same amount as buying the items separately, and at times they are slightly less. But they will never cost more than buying the same items as the combo alone. Number seven is true. To number 6, employees have on average six minutes per dropped movie (ended movie) to clean each theater. Also do not leave crap on the seats. Theaters use huge brooms to clean the isles, we literally sweep everything to the steps and go from there because that is the most efficient way. Grabbing things off the seats is a pain when your in a hurry. Number five, the trailers or previews that you see are up to the employees to put in before the movie starts. The company that makes the movie can recommend which trailers should be played but ultimately it is up to the theater employee who starts and “builds” the movies. Number four, HELL NO. Popcorn gets thrown out or employees take it home every single night. It’s against all food policies to save popcorn and reuse it. Also most of the time theaters use butter flavored coconut oil just because less people are allergic to it. Number three, theater standard is 15 minutes of trailers. Unless your theater has specific sponsor adds they have to show once the lights dim it shouldn’t be longer than that. The end time is almost always not accurate please don’t listen to that. Projectors are started by people, if they start your movie sooner your missing your movie, or they could start the movie late. A million things can happen. Two, ummm the speakers are on the walls, the walls are loud. Back rows are typically the lowest volume, but frankly you don’t go to the movies for quiet. Number one, no. No theater hooks air vents up to popcorn exhaust, hell popcorn machines don’t even have exhaust vents. If you know anything about the air conditioning systems that would mean your theater would be hot. The smell of popcorn floats. Also take the time to look at a popcorn machine, they don’t have vents that expel the smell. Typically the movies that should sell the best are placed closest to the concession stands so the smell is strongest in them.
shawna heart I also work at the theater and totally agree. It honestly pisses me off when these videos are released streching the truth or even flat out lying. I'd anyone reads this comment, his statements are true. Don't believe the video
Yeah, I've also worked in a theater. Some of these, it should be obvious what nonsense they are. Why on earth would you pop popcorn in advance? Can you imagine storing dozens of bags of popcorn in the back, just so you don't have to use the kettle?
I work currently in a theater and for the most part your right. Number 4 we use canola oil instead of coconut. Number 3 the projectors are all automated on a timer and managers have to reset, or start certain movies at times and all the previews are 20 min. Also since the movies are on timers the end time is almost always accurate
4:35 I have an EVEN BETTER IDEA!! (You have to think outside the box, on this one...) How about, instead of taking your trash all the way HOME with you, you COULD just put it in the trash can that the theater provides! How about THAT?! Pretty smart, huh?
Nah... If I have to pay 20 dollars for popcorn and a beverage on top of the ridiculous movie ticket prices, they can afford to hire someone to clean up the mess it creates.
Not at all. All the homeless people such as yourself are welcome to come shit in my Condo building. They have a washroom on the main floor. As for your fetish of shitting on lawns, you will have to discuss that with property management or the security desk. Thanks.
I used to work in a movie theatre, so I have a few things to say. 1. Because we always clean our theatres, no one would get locked in. Some of my coworkers have had to wake up some drunks. 2. Our combos do save you money, but snacks still are insanely expensive. 3. We do get to see free movies. It is awesome. 4. Because of the small amount of time between shows, we would appreciate it if you would throw away your own trash. There was once a kid who was picking up her trash, but her mom said, "Don't worry about it, that's what THEY are here for." Please be courteous of the people cleaning up after you.
waywardcroissant You get paid to clean up after people. It's your fucking job. We have to pay insane prices to see the film's and and the food so STFU and Clean up bitch
William91W a bit harsh, but if my kid was picking up trash on a theatre floor I’d stop them too; our trash would be handled, but we won’t be handling others trash. If everyone was a slob the prices would be even higher, as they’d have to have more staff to pick up between shows to fit the same amount in a day; seriously don’t be a lazy fucking dickhead slob. If you drop a few kernels, fine, but don’t intentionally leave your shit behind just to do it. Eh, you probably don’t have a job, certainly no respect.
Zero I'll do whatever the fuck I want to do when I'm the one that's paying your wages and the ridiculous cinema prices. If it's in your job description to clean then fucking do it and quit being a little bitch.
Just to say it isnt really the theatres fault they need to make a little money off of the movie but also the company that made the movie needs money too if you don't like it then don't go theirs a thing called renting movies
comparing popcorn to steak is fuckin dumb anyway. I can do the same thing by comparing bottled water to the price of petrol (gasoline for you yankie doodles).
Wait. Why would anyone take trash home, or leave it on top of their seat? How 'bout just dont be lazy bastards, and walk it to any one of the many trash cans around the theater?
I only eat Brains, Dummy Lets talk about who the fuck changes a baby’s diaper during a movie? And then has the fucking audacity to put then diaper on the floor?! Do people only think about themselves? Some poor bastard has to clean that up! I have never heard of anyone doing this before and seeing this video mention it, makes me think it actually happens sometimes.
The trash cans near my local theater is right beside the door so there's no point in leaving your trash when you're going to be going right by the trash can
WTF?! Do people actually change their baby's diapers in the theater isles? That's ridiculous... I hope those people get yelled at by everyone in the theater.
Matthew Weiler yep seen it happen ... Parents bring their Hellspawn to a completely inappropriate movie (year old at IT was my last experience... They scream and yell and tantrum because the Db level is actually hurting their hearing and mom does nothing) then "little angel" poops their pants and mom doesn't want to miss the movie so it's either let their precious sit in shit for the next hour or change it in the auditorium...
Matthew Weiler I remember going to see 10 Cloverfield lane (yeah totally appropriate for a child right?) and I saw these 3 women walk in 2 had babies with them and one had a boy who looked 7 maybe 8 and not even 1 second into the movie one of the babies decides to shit himself during the previews which causes him to cry which causes the other baby to cry which causes the 8 year old to start yelling and complaining that the one baby smells bad and the Mom of the 8 year old slaps him to make him stop which causes him to cry so now we have 3 crying children 3 mom's telling them to stop and an annoyed theater eventually someone kicks all 6 of them out but all the noise caused us to miss at least 5 minutes of the movie and as an apology they winded back the movie so we could watch from the beginning
I stuff my purse with snacks and a bottle of water. Usually I'll just buy an icee. My husband used to be embarrassed, but now he's putting stuff in my bag too 😂
I remember,when I was a kid, we’d openly carry in whole, boxed pizzas, or bags of cheeseburgers into the auditorium,and have a whole freaking meal while watching the movie!
I work at a cinema and half of this is bullshit. At the very end of a night shift we have to either throw out any left over popcorn or take it home. Theatres don’t need to pay all the money to the producers until 3 months, instead we pay half to the people who produced the movie. Our ads only go for 15 minutes, not 30 and only 7 of those minutes are trailers for other movies- others are for local businesses. Also after working here for 3 years I’m still yet to find a diaper in any of the cinemas. Also as a movie employee we don’t get to watch anything we want for free. Only when we are not on our shift and we get 3 frees a week for us or friends. And also with the combos, you do save plenty more money than buying all the items individually, but I suppose it’s different with every cinema.
Eh Graphics Bit more accurate here... th-cam.com/video/cBtSDRxdP9A/w-d-xo.html 10 People still think they pay for the glasses. At AMC you pay for the cleaning. At cine you get the glasses free, all are recycled. If a fee were apart of the 3d price, its pennies. You are paying for the 3d 09 XD is a company brand of imax...yeah Imax is more than just a screen. 08 The goal of "savings" is 25cents. As much as .75 but hey 07 Again he talks about selling the glasses 06 That's a poor movie schedule, but cleaning time is key, sweep and spot mop is accurate Fuck your diaper 05 Errors happen. Points out two instances in 10 years, and they were at one location. The build guys either did it as a funny or a genuine error, but we all get the same build list (company wise) 04 No, that's just the mark up All corn is tossed at the end of the night. They stopped keeping corn and recooking hotdogs in the mid 00s The pay out starts opening weekend, but it is a 1% factor that works it's way to 3% 03 When I started it was 15....now it's 20, so yeah 02 No shit "Fact filled lists 01 Not a secret.... standard marketing actually Vents into the auditorium???? Hahahahah Over 10 years in the business....I've been in lots of theaters/locations.....hahahahah We barely have reliable air conditioning, let alone vents that carry smell. Most of the vents above the poppers are collecting grease, I have had to clean too many of them. Most new theaters don't even have those any more, they have better and significantly cheaper built in vents.... Now this guy seems to be from the UK, so they may run things differently, but, these are not dark secrets....these are not even accurate.
This actually makes me want to get a job at a cinema. I know It'll be crappy pay, but 3 free screenings sounds like a sweet gig. And any pay is better than what I'm making now.
I worked at a small Cinemark for a yr about 3 or 4 yrs ago and yes we throw away popcorn ever day (no we couldn't take it home) Yes we found many diapers in the theaters especially during the summer (kids movie marathons) And ads last from 15 to 30 minutes (done on purpose to prevent people from skipping them). We got 1 ticket+guest ticket a day
I work in a movie theatre and the one about keeping the popcorn for a week is gross. We never even keep our popcorn overnight. All the leftovers get thrown away. I don't see how anyplace would actually do that
Same here. We wouldn't keep ours overnight. We would put it in a big trash bag and give it to a local farm for chickens or some animal every night. The guy would come once a week. We would go through it so quickly there was no way it wasn't more than 1.5 hours old
I would see if I could try t osneak in a gaming PC inside the Fractal Design Node 202 case and put the screen in the full 21:9 aspect ratio and have a 1080Ti as the graphics card and the CPU being an 8700K Coffee Lake chip from Intel with 16 gigs of 4000 MHz RAM and try to play GTA V at 3440x1440 (a 21:9 aspect ratio resolution). i mean, why not? would allow you to see everything in a nice wide view that a console could not get to and be filling the entire screen at its maximum width and be getting butter smooth frame rates to boot.
My son owns a theater and none of this is true. They certainly do not sell old popcorn. The machine is cleaned out nightly. If you want a good movie experience go to a family owned theater instead of a corporate theater. If someone complains about the sound he turns it down. The theater is cleaned after every show. Every seat is cleaned weekly. If there is a spill after a movie it is immediatly mopped up.
I worked for regal and they clean out the popcorn every night and it’s really clean there this is a load of BS !! The only one I can say is true it the ad and wanting you to buy snacks
SNEAK FOOD INNNN It’s so much cheaper if you just hop on over to the dollar store to get treats then sneak it into the movie theater. Also, you can bring whatever you want that way to. Want some ice cream? Shove it in your purse or a friends. Fries? Either put them in your purse or in some deep pockets. ThE oPpUrTuNiTiEs ArE eNdLeSs😂
BlasianSuasion Bro so we brought a stroller right we had no.kids but we put the pizza in the bottom of the stroller and some wings and drinks in the part were the kids will sit and she had a carseat so we brought candy and put it in there
Cup holders were NOT invented in 1981. I frequented movie theaters as an adult beginning in 1978 and that summer I was delighted to find cup holders in each arm rest. Theaters are designed so that the best seat for viewing as well as speaker placement is in the precise center of the seating. Many people have issues with peripheral vision and they should sit near the back. Those with vision issues should sit in the rear. Sitting too far to the left or right will cause an imbalance in the left/right speakers so the sounds many not match what you see on the screen as far as location is concerned. Show up early enough to get a good seat and bring ear plugs and something to read. The biggest cost in buttered popcorn is the butter and it provides much if not most of the flavor. But theaters don't offer real butter any more. Theater won't like it if you bring your own popcorn but they won't mind if you bring your own butter. So melt your own at home and put it in a bottle or small jar and bring it in and pour it on your popcorn for improved flavor. Bring hand wipes and wipe down the hand rests. Bring a towel and put it on the seat and back and then put that in a plastic bag to bring home and launder. Keep your shoes on and the dirty floor won't be any worse than walking around outdoors or in the rest room. Don't bring babies to a theater of any kind. They won't get anything out of the movie and will disturb the other people trying to watch the movie. Or do like me and wait until the movie comes out on blue ray and watch it at home on your town big screen with your own home theater. The money you save on popcorn, drinks etc will offset the cost of movie rental/memberships and the TV and sound system. After an initial investment of under a thousand dollars including a really nice reclining chair with cup holders I now watch movies for about $3 [$5 for two] each and that includes soda, popcorn and hot dogs. You don't HAVE to see a movie the night it opens.
They use soybean oil with anti-foaming agents. The buttery flavor is a yellow extra fine salt added with the oil and kernels when it's popped. The best brand used to be flavacol. Try putting real butter on popcorn made with that salt and it will be too salty for just about anyone. If your going to try to keep butter melted long enough to use it on movie theater popcorn be smart and get unsalted butter or ask for unsalted popcorn. Just know that it will still likely have some salt on it because there will be residue from the last batch unless their not popping at full capacity but even then they might be lazy and not want to clean more for one fool wanting a special order.
nunya biznez Well aren’t you a damn genius!? If I had to bring a bottle of butter, towel, and wet wipes at the movies, I would watch them at home, too. And what kind of “home theater” can you have for under a thousand dollars? A 40 inch screen and a sound bar? Doesn’t exactly rival the Dolby theater. Quick question - do you use the wet wipes and towel when you go to your “home theater?”
One night at our local theater I smelled chicken, yes fried chicken and they don't sell it at the counter...lol Someone yelled out " somebody's gotta some chicken" , we all got a good laugh.
I D S the TH-cam algorithm change a few months back. The better time is now 15 minutes. It gives your video more exposure due to it being longer and the TH-cam bots favoring your video for their suggestions and such since TH-cam will make more money with more ads on the video.
What about the high decibel levels at discotheques and some nightclubs? In movie theatres, the sound from the movie (depending on the movie) will vary and would not be constantly high to actually hurt your ears. However, you realise the numbness in your hearing once you come out of discotheques.
Bradford Harris Learnt is a common British way of spelling learned. But thank you and the people who liked your comment for showing us how little you know about anything outside of your bubble :)
TheMurrmursonbottle Seeing as he used British spelling, his last name is Mead and he is subscribed to a bunch of English football channels, I figure it’s most likely that he is British. Either way, is the use of learnt really that strict in America? I thought both were correct there too.
If I were locked in the movie theater,I'd go exploring and even diving into the now access able Concession's Stockroom and help myself to some ...errrr...."free" candy and a few packages of Hotdogs and Soda AND THEN get the local PD to let me out.
David La Volpa jesus christ, fuck those kids movie. I also work at a movie theater. Other than the cleaning and concessions, the job is pretty chill. Lol
I try to not leave trash I know what it is like to clean. At a theater I only get popcorn and a drink. I buy the large popcorn and get free refill. I bring a gallon Ziploc bag and put refill in that to take home. Next couple days we still have popcorn and movie time at home.
I wanna laugh but don't wanna seem like an ass, but I can definitely see the mix up at least for the theatre I work in. The managers are sent the trailers separately then ingested into each machine and they have to create a trailer playlist themselves. So person doing it could have done it on purpose too. 😂
I took my kids to see Curious George and the trailer for “The hills have eyes” showed and my daughter would hide for previews for about 4 years after that
just use the 'cover bag' i bought from a medical supply store...as a nurse i can get discounts at some places...the 'cover bag' is a decorative, insulated bag used to cover, or contain, a colostomy bag. This is a kind of a dick move, but my local theater charges 8 bucks for a cup (as in a one cup measuring cup) of popcorn. A normal sized Hershey's bar will put you back 3.50 at this place. Their fountain drinks? only one size, the size of a Mcdonalds small, and it costs 3.00, no refills. Gotta buy another cup. At full price. But they have ZERO competition, because the people who own this theater also own the only Drive-In theater, and the next closest place is a 2 hour drive away. Thats not even counting the $12 MATINEE price of a ticket. 14.50 normal price. i...dont go to see movies in the theater very often these days...
Bring a huge purse, put your drinks and snacks from home in it. Hand them out during the darker screen shots, if there is a rule against having your own snacks. Some theaters in malls now do deals with mall restaurants or stores, to buy your snacks from these places and into the theater. They allow only these snacks from designated places to be brought in. However the price of these snacks and food are not much less than movies.
Joyce Joseph TBH, we often don't care if people bring in snacks. The employees won't care, only the managers have a chance of caring. This is only if they are out in the open. If you have candy in your pockets or in a jacket and it's obviously bulging, we can't do anything about it.
We used to go to the theater to see movies, but sitting that long without a break is no longer good for us. Also you miss a lot of the movie when you get up to go the bathroom. At our age they are necessary. Ha Ha.
Either Serbia has some sick deal with the movie industry or they use pirated movies, because financially it's impossible to maintain a movie theater that way (coming from someone who worked in a theater)
#10: You don't pay extra for the glasses. You pay extra for the technology of the 3D film: The upkeep of the equipment and things like that. #7: Actually, you *can* connect a game system to a projector. A certain chain actually advertises playing video games on their screens for $100 /hr. And, as for "watching movies free", well, that's part of working at a movie theatre. #6: While it's true there are several minutes between shows, it does allow the team to clean up. If there are spills, they need to be mopped up right there so that there *isn't* a sticky floor. #5: 15 minute previews, not 30. And isolated incidents does not make an industry standard. #4: Actually, there are some chains that will pop popcorn fresh every day instead of letting it last for a week. Yeesh! #3: You're not the only ones annoyed by the preshow. By the way, the preshow is shown about 20 minutes *before* the showtime, then about 15 minutes of previews.
Robert Wrench My local theater told me theaters choose exactly how many minutes of previews they show before the movie; theirs is only 10 minutes. They said, that way you can call and ask, then you'll know the movie starts exactly 10 minutes (or whatever) after it's listed start time.
The only upkeep for the 3d tech is keeping the polarizers and lenses clean which needs to be done for a 2d movie as well. The projectors that display 3d have a different lens setup. Different projectors allow for connecting external equipment. The Sony digital projectors that I helped maintain didn't have any ports on them that would allow content to be played. It was played from the internal hard drives. Content could only be added through the server or in the worst case a usb connection. Most movies were hundreds of GB for even 2D features. The highest i can recall was 850GB and that was from the early days of digital cinema before I stopped caring how big they were.
I never smelled no aroma of popcorn blowing through the movie theater. But there are hidden messages in their commercials that makes you want to buy the snacks.
Funny thing is, he talks about how theaters show you ads to make that extra money... Even tho he dosen't show any ads, he still makes the video 10+ minutes for that extra money lol
Do you people even know how youtube works? "i️ hope y’all realize youtube videos have to be 10 minutes to make money off the views" Not true. You can have a 1 second video and make money off of it. And you don't make money "off the views", you make money from the ads that people watch. "Even tho he dosen't show any ads, he still makes the video 10+ minutes for that extra money" That doesn't make any sense at all. The video beeing 10 min doesn't give him more money. It just let's him put more ads on the video, but you just said he didn't put any ads on it. (I use adblock so I wouldn't know). "this channel is bragging about them making money." What? How is he "bragging" about them making money? That doesn't even make sense. Why would he brag about someone else making money? All he is doing is informing people about some things. "When u tryna get that extra revenue : Video Duration - 10:01" Well this is his job, so why not just make more money from the same amount of work? "but it's quality content, so who gives a fuck?" Debatable, but sure.
30 min of ads? Wow Americans really don't complain. In Spain is limited to 10 min because the spectators get angry and make a mess if they have to stand ads for long 😂
El chihuahualoco it's not 30 min. It's 15 at most on really popular movies like Marvel movies or Star Wars. Other movies it's 10 min as well. The video lied.
As an employee at Cinemark for two years, most of this stuff really isn't true, and I've never heard of any employees trying to hide this from people. Yes, we do get two free tickets per show, meaning we can see as many movies a day as we want, and we can bring a friend along. However, we are definitely not encouraged to go see movies for free. Every single movie that Disney owns the rights to has a minimum two week ban on our guest passes. The Last Jedi had a four week ban. We also get free drinks and popcorn, as well as a discount of 50% on candy and food. Any theater that hosts Fathom Events will have at least one projector with direct AVI input, so you could hook up an Xbox to it and play some video games. Good luck getting a wireless controller to work well across a 60-foot room though. We do clean our theaters thoroughly between each show. In fact, most Cinemark theaters have recliner seats and employees are required to carry a wet and dry rag to wipe down every seat and tray in the theater. We sweep up everything on the floor so it's clean. Other than that, everything else mentioned in this video was never a thought back when I worked in a theater. The best place to get information for a video like this is from someone who actually worked in a theater.
Jacob As a first job/high school or college job, it's pretty chill. Easy work, flexible hours, plus free movies. However, the pay isn't great and there's no recognition for any of the good decisions you make working there. Management only notices and nit-picks the little mistakes you make, even if your work is above and beyond 99% of the time. Overall, it beats fast food if you're in high school or college, but if you have the skills to work somewhere else, do it. You'll make more money and have something more useful in your resumé.
Number 8 isn't always true, I worked as a concessionist at my local theatre while I was in high school. How our combos work out tend to save people money if they were to buy something like a medium drink and a large bag of popcorn (I would normally tell customers this, because I knew they could get more for less of the price). If they went with a combo, they would be paying less plus we gave a free refill for their drink and popcorn.
Best movie hack: sneak popcorn made at home, bottles of soda and candy from the gas station, etc (whatever ya like) in girlfriends locker room sized purse. THEY'LL NEVER KNOW
1) It was her idea and we've done it with groups, other couples hated paying an extra $30 when we paid less than $10. 2) A single woman could dominate the world with the contents of a purse.
Technically they would be correct in that sentence db wise. A jet taking off is in an open area and generally you are near it taking off as its a hazard, where as a movie theater you are in an enclosed space where dbs have been reported to get to about 101 or even higher. Now Standing next to a jet, yea the jet is going to be loud as all fuck, and depending on the air frame normally requires two sets of ear protection
If the spl is higher than 90dB it is usually the fault of the company that set it up. Theaters are supposed to be set up at a standard volume to prevent that, but not all movie adhere to the standard. "Twister" was known to damage speakers if it was played at standard volumes.
instead of leaving your trash on the seat you could just throw it away. that helps employees even more. also, dead on about the cleaning. i suggest bringing antibacterial wipes to clean the seats. its hard to clean a 298 seat theater in five minutes
As a former theater employee, I can tell you that we would throw away popcorn if it was sitting for more than 2 hours and would make new batches every day
Prize Grand nothing special really. Just apply to multiple theaters. I had an easy in because I had a recommendation for an employee there. A theater is a good summer job, just don't keep it for the holiday season because you will want to quit every day you go there because how busy it is.
if tickets weren't $25 a pop for Adults at the most common theatres in Australia, i would perhaps feel bad about sneaking in a snack. Let's say 3 adults go to the theatre, they don't have the loyalty card, the don't go to 'Cheap Tuesdays' and they each buy a medium pop corn. Quick way to spend $100, oh and that's before you pay extra for the 'Extreme' theatre fee and buy your glasses, oh, and you'll need something to drink after all that salty popcorn. Let's make that ~$120 all up. In Australia, that's a day's work for most low - medium income earners.
When we go to the Cinema, THEY CHECK YOUR BAGS for any sweets and drinks you brought elsewhere and will not let you take them in with you. So even when its hot I go in wearing my big coat. My pockets are full of sweets and drink cartoons. They have not yet checked my coat :)
3:15 At my local place they sell a combo and its 1 dollar cheaper...but what they dont tell you is your normally 3$ small popcorn comes in the combo box so its really half size....CHEAP! You actually end up wasting 2 bucks for a pretty box and less popcorn! 😎

I went to cinema with my mum once and we were late and my mum asked if we had missed the start of the movie and the woman working there said she's not supposed to tell us but the movies start 20 minutes after the time on the tickets
Yeah I had to talk to the service desk at the front at one point before the start of a movie. Then I said oh I think I need to go the movie starts soon. They said I was fine that they always show 20min if commercials now.
Yeah they do that. Time and time again. My friend usually wants to go to the theater 15 mins after the start time. I did miss a few first minutes a show though.
So the one about keeping popcorn for a week and still selling it is malarkey at least in the US. I worked at a movie theatre, one of the big chains as a teen, and we tossed popcorn at the end of every night. Also, it's been over a decade at least in the Midwest in the US since we've been able to play video games. Also most theatres have trash cans right by each auditorium's exit. I, personally, cannot fathom why people can't carry their empty countainers to it. It takes so little effort, and usually the people who makd the most mess are the ones complaining before thei movie start about how long it takes to get a seat because of waiting on ushers to clean. Oh, the diaper thing is true and evil. Cleaning after kids movies is the worst.
Yeah, that's the one that is most obviously wrong. At every theater in my area, you can watch them pull the popcorn out of the popper that's fifteen feet behind the counter. It's also a logistical problem. A bottle of popcorn takes up far less space and saves longer than bags of popcorn. In the space you'd need to store a week's worth of popcorn, you can probably have a year's worth of bottles.
It still boggles my mind how parents change their child in a theatre. No respect for their child, the audience around them and most especially themselves. Too lazy to bring your child to a proper bathroom where you actually have space to change and clean your child? Then don't go to a movie.
Jasmine Tracy... 1 movie theatre... You're trying to refute a possible fact by 1 EXAMPLE !!!... I bet you that if you knew someone that survived being struck by lightning, you would think that it can't kill you
Jasmine Tracy what really pisses me off is when the trash cans by their theater get fill and they just put it on the ground or lay in on top so you get a mountain of trash. Take it to a different trash can or if you feel daring you can smash it down for us.
Not a bad idea. If people banded together and didn't buy snacks in any theaters, they would be forced to talk to movie studios and their corporations into changing the pricing systems. The only way for a theater itself to make money is from concessions.
In Italy, some movie theaters have 15 minute intermission during the movie. It's great cause I can run to the bathroom without missing anything. I noticed that, if the theater is over half full, a staff member will roll out a small snack cart during the intermission. Well played Italy, well played. Lol
Ive always hated pop corn and never buy it but what i usually do is buy cheaper snacks at Wal-Mart or other places and stuff them in a shoebox and have enough for all my friends which is usually 4-6 of us that go watch movies! *TIPS* 😉
Jens Legarth Ryge I think I already explained myself with my comment but ill say it again. once in a while if I go in a big group I take a shoe box and stuff it with food from outside the theaters it's cheaper.
The deafening sound levels in theaters are actually painful. I used to get up and politely ask them to turn it down a bit. They almost always turned it WAY down, on purpose probably. But at least my hearing wasn’t permanently damaged.
GrumpleslamAlabaster I'm a manager at a movie theatre and we don't clean after the last showtimes because janitors come in very early in the morning to clean. So it could have been the in between period before the janitors got there. People should always check the theatres before locking up, though. Do your know how many times I've had to wake up some drunk guy at the end of the night? Too many times lol
Steph Rainey I currently work at a movie theater. Our ushers dont clean the last shows, but there is a late night shift that stays an extra 2 or 3 hours until the last movies let out of each screening and he/she just checks each room to make sure all the customers have left the building and not hiding past lockup time or passed out in a chair. Then we lock the doors and leave for the night when the janitors are finished deep cleaning the theaters, consessions, and lobby area.
I agree that it's expensive, but you get what you pay for. A giant screen, big speakers, and a very different experience then if you were to just watch at home. On another note, they are only expensive if you are too lazy to look for deals. Some places might have half off one day a week, free parking, special screenings for operas, etc. You just have to bother to look.
Ian Smith I'm a VIP member and spent lots of money over the years and live in NY. What I am paying for out here is bad smell, dirty seats and loud new yorker. Having my own food is the least they can do make me come back and they have, they all know me now, for some of them that are new and didn't get much training I teach them features on their machine they didn't know about, that's how much of a movie buff I am.
MrXClassickiwi MrXClassickiwi I'm actually a grown man in the medical field and a serial entrepreneur who probably made more last year that you will ever make in your lifetime. But it's just funny how a breed of people such as yourself manage to exist in this world. But make no mistake, existing is all you will do but the rest of us will live our lives to the fullest. Cheers!
MrXClassickiwi What the fuck did he do to you? And your thinking he'd rape a poor dog or cat? You're disgusting. And he's telling the truth, I live in Brooklyn and the seats in the movie theater are gross.
As a manager at a movie theatre, some of the things on this list are not only misleading, but wrong. For god's sake do NOT leave your trash 'in your seat' as this video suggests. There are a minimum of 3 trash cans between you and ANY exit you can possibly take to leave a theatre and you are guaranteed to pass within 4 feet of them all. Don't be a lazy douchebag; Throw. Your. Trash. Away. The recommended 'best screen size' for an IMAX projector is just that - a recommended size. The projector itself is what makes a movie 'shown in IMAX' - it is a projector designed to be used with shorter 1.89:1 aspect ratio screens that can be scaled up or down accordingly. The "combo pricing" is the same that all fast food restaurants use - the average savings being 10-15 cents. This is not news, nor is it something that only movie theatres do. Almost all corporate owned theatres have a separate non-movie projector rigged up for meetings and presentations - these can be and are often used for after or before-hours gaming and movie watching by employees. Theatres do not 'make a big batch' of popcorn to 'use all week'. That's a bald faced lie. ALL corporate-owned theatres in North America make their popcorn fresh every day.
Preach it! I work at an AMC and the shit in this video is unbelievable. It's like they're blaming the employees for policies we can't set ourselves or laws not even the CEOs can fight. Like, we pop fresh everyday, that's a fact like you said. And true, we ushers only have a few minutes between shows to clean up so it's not the best clean job, but if people weren't so god damn lazy and inconsiderate it wouldn't take so long. I still get flashbacks from Beauty & The Beast (2017). Do people really think it's the usher's job to pick up all their garbage? No, it's not. I can sweep up popcorn and candy and little pieces of candy wrapper, I can even clean up spills because accidents happen, but don't make me pick up your cups, popcorn buckets, and other trash. You came in with it, you can leave with it. Don't even get me started on people who bring in chewing tobacco, spit in a cup, and leave the cup in the theater. It makes the whole auditorium stink. And you know what's mind blowing? Dumbass kids trying to sneak into R rated movies. Like, I can see you gunning it. And don't yell at me if you're not old enough to go. Just yesterday I had a 16-17 year old kid tell me, "This is fucking bullshit. I wasted my money on these tickets and I can't even go to the movie I wanted (because I carded him at the door). Fuck this shit". I told him his options: get a guardian, get a refund, or exchange the tickets. He raised hell at the concession stand, came back with different tickets, and had one last thing to say to me: "Fuck you!". Dude, get over yourself. I could lose my job, or worse, if I don't check kids like you. Then when he left, he had cigarettes in his hand. He wasn't old enough to smoke so I guess he was just an asshole kid. The only solace I got was that his girlfriend apologized to me on the way into the movie and waved goodbye after the movie as he yanked her arm out the door. Bottom line, videos like this really need to do their research and phrase things better because it paints us as these greedy goblins with no souls when we have no choice in the matter. They should really talk about how unfair it is that we get paid minimum wage to do what we do and can't get overtime because of that clause. This is borderline clickbait. Ugh, I hope you don't mind the rant I went on there, but I thought a theater manager of all people would understand exactly where I'm coming from. I hope you read the whole thing and maybe even respond!
Thank you! I was going to say something. I was the GM for a theatre for 5 years and so much of this is just wrong. Plus the switch to digital made it easier for us to play xbox and watch game of thrones on the big screen!!
Thank you! I've worked at AMC for 2 years and agree with everything you said. This video is full of crap. The only useful thing it said was to change babies in the bathroom.
They can never do right. If people complain the volume is too high, and they lower it, the other people will complain it’s too low and they’ll have to higher it.
Green Elephant... of DOOM: Lol, I keep rereading it like how come it doesn't sound right? I mean to say if people complain the volume is too high* not low. XD
Ma Rk And weather...? Not leaving San Diego for that. ...and doctors make more in the U.S. For me, that means it's a big "no". Plus, when you live in a destination city, you can bang women from everywhere. 😎
I have to agree. I don't work at a theater and never have but I do know that some of this stuff is bogus. Like for instance, video game systems can be hooked up to the system and played on the big screen. My spouse's previous work would rent a theater out once a year and play video games and watch a movie in there.
We played super smash bros.... the theater I worked at has not upgraded its projection machines or operating system, the managers can still let employees play games after hours. Unfortunately, that's the last infrequent perk the employees have left.
We got soda and popcorn for free. Smoothies and shakes were full price. No alcohol sales after hours, but we could still get half off of anything from the kitchen as long as they were still cooking. :D
Meh I just sneak in my snacks, I go with my friends and we mostly have our backpacks so its pretty easy. Im not paying 5$ for popcorn which I can get for 1$ or less in a store right outside the theatre
My mum and friend brought to a theater to watch Zootopia once but instead of playing that movie a horror movie played...i was so happy and dying of laughter

As a former theater employee I can tell you most of this is crap. Please stop feeding people crap.
To number ten, it’s policy for someone to check all theaters before locking up, also most theaters have cleaning crews that come in not long after the employees of the theater leave, so I’m not real sure how a man got locked in.
To number nine, most theaters would never turn up the volume louder than needed. That’s when you can hear flaws in the sound systems if there are any. Half the time the movies are slightly lower than 85, just so it takes less of a toll on the speakers.
To number eight, you yourself said they would save 12 cents. That’s saving money. Maybe not much but it’s saving. More often than not combos cost the same amount as buying the items separately, and at times they are slightly less. But they will never cost more than buying the same items as the combo alone.
Number seven is true.
To number 6, employees have on average six minutes per dropped movie (ended movie) to clean each theater. Also do not leave crap on the seats. Theaters use huge brooms to clean the isles, we literally sweep everything to the steps and go from there because that is the most efficient way. Grabbing things off the seats is a pain when your in a hurry.
Number five, the trailers or previews that you see are up to the employees to put in before the movie starts. The company that makes the movie can recommend which trailers should be played but ultimately it is up to the theater employee who starts and “builds” the movies.
Number four, HELL NO. Popcorn gets thrown out or employees take it home every single night. It’s against all food policies to save popcorn and reuse it. Also most of the time theaters use butter flavored coconut oil just because less people are allergic to it.
Number three, theater standard is 15 minutes of trailers. Unless your theater has specific sponsor adds they have to show once the lights dim it shouldn’t be longer than that. The end time is almost always not accurate please don’t listen to that. Projectors are started by people, if they start your movie sooner your missing your movie, or they could start the movie late. A million things can happen.
Two, ummm the speakers are on the walls, the walls are loud. Back rows are typically the lowest volume, but frankly you don’t go to the movies for quiet.
Number one, no. No theater hooks air vents up to popcorn exhaust, hell popcorn machines don’t even have exhaust vents. If you know anything about the air conditioning systems that would mean your theater would be hot. The smell of popcorn floats. Also take the time to look at a popcorn machine, they don’t have vents that expel the smell. Typically the movies that should sell the best are placed closest to the concession stands so the smell is strongest in them.
shawna heart I also work at the theater and totally agree. It honestly pisses me off when these videos are released streching the truth or even flat out lying. I'd anyone reads this comment, his statements are true. Don't believe the video
Yeah, I've also worked in a theater. Some of these, it should be obvious what nonsense they are. Why on earth would you pop popcorn in advance? Can you imagine storing dozens of bags of popcorn in the back, just so you don't have to use the kettle?
Thank you.
Agree. Used to run projection and it is required to check all theaters and bathrooms for customers before you set the alarm and walk out.
I work currently in a theater and for the most part your right. Number 4 we use canola oil instead of coconut. Number 3 the projectors are all automated on a timer and managers have to reset, or start certain movies at times and all the previews are 20 min. Also since the movies are on timers the end time is almost always accurate
4:35 I have an EVEN BETTER IDEA!! (You have to think outside the box, on this one...) How about, instead of taking your trash all the way HOME with you, you COULD just put it in the trash can that the theater provides! How about THAT?! Pretty smart, huh?
Nah... If I have to pay 20 dollars for popcorn and a beverage on top of the ridiculous movie ticket prices, they can afford to hire someone to clean up the mess it creates.
OS10100 cool then since you can afford to go to the movies, you won't mind if I come to your house and shit on your lawn right?
Not at all. All the homeless people such as yourself are welcome to come shit in my Condo building. They have a washroom on the main floor. As for your fetish of shitting on lawns, you will have to discuss that with property management or the security desk. Thanks.
OS10100 oh a condo, I guess I should move that shitting to your doorstep then.
I clean up after my dog all the time, I don't mind cleaning up after another one.
I used to work in a movie theatre, so I have a few things to say.
1. Because we always clean our theatres, no one would get locked in. Some of my coworkers have had to wake up some drunks.
2. Our combos do save you money, but snacks still are insanely expensive.
3. We do get to see free movies. It is awesome.
4. Because of the small amount of time between shows, we would appreciate it if you would throw away your own trash. There was once a kid who was picking up her trash, but her mom said, "Don't worry about it, that's what THEY are here for."
Please be courteous of the people cleaning up after you.
waywardcroissant You get paid to clean up after people. It's your fucking job. We have to pay insane prices to see the film's and and the food so STFU and Clean up bitch
William91W a bit harsh, but if my kid was picking up trash on a theatre floor I’d stop them too; our trash would be handled, but we won’t be handling others trash.
If everyone was a slob the prices would be even higher, as they’d have to have more staff to pick up between shows to fit the same amount in a day; seriously don’t be a lazy fucking dickhead slob. If you drop a few kernels, fine, but don’t intentionally leave your shit behind just to do it.
Eh, you probably don’t have a job, certainly no respect.
Zero I'll do whatever the fuck I want to do when I'm the one that's paying your wages and the ridiculous cinema prices. If it's in your job description to clean then fucking do it and quit being a little bitch.
ELITEGENERAL 13 "slop"... Ok
Just to say it isnt really the theatres fault they need to make a little money off of the movie but also the company that made the movie needs money too if you don't like it then don't go theirs a thing called renting movies
about that trash thing.
instead of "take it home" or "leave it on chair"
how about the preferable "use the trashcan"
Exactly lol
Yeah but nobody does that so this is a better improvement
ViLe PsYcHo just like on restaurants you don’t throw your trash the waiter does that
@ViLe PsYcHo not true. There are still crumbs even if the big pieces and thrown in the trash can
@ViLe PsYcHo Seriously? How about you don't be a dick and make our job harder,
*things theaters didnt want you to know*
"Popcorn is expensive"
yes cause nobody knew that

Movie theater hacks for not buying popcorn
1. Be Broke
Iggy The Chameleon. I laughed harder than I should have at that.
this method helps a lot, thanks btw.
deadeye851 Or don't like popcorn in the frist place. Besides there are usualy full serivce restaurants near movie theaters.
Nr. 2 Stream.
Iggy The Chameleon did u know u can get a trashed popcorn basket and clean it and u get free popcorn I did it once it was risky. Yet epic
Me: Spends $40 on snacks
Also me: Realises all my snacks have mysteriously disappeared once the movie starts and that my tummy hurts😶
Wait. Why would anyone take trash home, or leave it on top of their seat? How 'bout just dont be lazy bastards, and walk it to any one of the many trash cans around the theater?
I only eat Brains, Dummy Lets talk about who the fuck changes a baby’s diaper during a movie? And then has the fucking audacity to put then diaper on the floor?! Do people only think about themselves? Some poor bastard has to clean that up!
I have never heard of anyone doing this before and seeing this video mention it, makes me think it actually happens sometimes.
CCKillbilly ~ I know!
The trash cans near my local theater is right beside the door so there's no point in leaving your trash when you're going to be going right by the trash can
Physcogames ~ Exactly!!
I paid 15$ they can take it out for me
Jokes on you, I always wear cargo shorts to the movies. My pockets are always stuffed with candy and soda from dollar tree
Saaaaame
Thats me each time I go to the movies

Oh I just hold the shit and if they say anything I triple axis spin roundhouse kick there face and shoot a party popper up there USA
I work at a cinema and uhh it’s a myth that you can’t take food in with you, unless it’s alcohol or hot food
WTF?!
Do people actually change their baby's diapers in the theater isles?
That's ridiculous... I hope those people get yelled at by everyone in the theater.
Matthew Weiler yep seen it happen ... Parents bring their Hellspawn to a completely inappropriate movie (year old at IT was my last experience... They scream and yell and tantrum because the Db level is actually hurting their hearing and mom does nothing) then "little angel" poops their pants and mom doesn't want to miss the movie so it's either let their precious sit in shit for the next hour or change it in the auditorium...
If I were the man anger I would just ban them
Matthew Weiler I remember going to see 10 Cloverfield lane (yeah totally appropriate for a child right?) and I saw these 3 women walk in 2 had babies with them and one had a boy who looked 7 maybe 8 and not even 1 second into the movie one of the babies decides to shit himself during the previews which causes him to cry which causes the other baby to cry which causes the 8 year old to start yelling and complaining that the one baby smells bad and the Mom of the 8 year old slaps him to make him stop which causes him to cry so now we have 3 crying children 3 mom's telling them to stop and an annoyed theater eventually someone kicks all 6 of them out but all the noise caused us to miss at least 5 minutes of the movie and as an apology they winded back the movie so we could watch from the beginning
Totally the real Pewdiepie
The fact that you mispelled Manager as "Man anger" makes it more fitting.

Queen Gay nope
yes.
Queen Gay No I love them and watch them here on TH-cam all the time before I go to the theater to watch a movie.
Queen Gay yes
Yes watching tractor trailers is fun
I always sneak cheap snacks into the movie theater I have only ever bought snacks from the theater once
I sneak water in, you need to sell a kidney to buy a bottle at the movies
XD
I remember,when I was a kid, we’d openly carry in whole, boxed pizzas, or bags of cheeseburgers into the auditorium,and have a whole freaking meal while watching the movie!
I sneak in candy and stuff but usually buy popcorn and pop
Their prices are outrageous, therefore fock them, bring in your own goodies, let them suffer your wrath
I just hide them under my shirt
I work at a cinema and half of this is bullshit. At the very end of a night shift we have to either throw out any left over popcorn or take it home. Theatres don’t need to pay all the money to the producers until 3 months, instead we pay half to the people who produced the movie. Our ads only go for 15 minutes, not 30 and only 7 of those minutes are trailers for other movies- others are for local businesses. Also after working here for 3 years I’m still yet to find a diaper in any of the cinemas. Also as a movie employee we don’t get to watch anything we want for free. Only when we are not on our shift and we get 3 frees a week for us or friends. And also with the combos, you do save plenty more money than buying all the items individually, but I suppose it’s different with every cinema.
Almost the same for me but we get unlimited free tickets for our selves and max of 4 tickets for friends and family per show.
Eh Graphics
Bit more accurate here...

Vents into the auditorium????
Hahahahah
Over 10 years in the business....I've been in lots of theaters/locations.....hahahahah
We barely have reliable air conditioning, let alone vents that carry smell.
Most of the vents above the poppers are collecting grease, I have had to clean too many of them. Most new theaters don't even have those any more, they have better and significantly cheaper built in vents....
Now this guy seems to be from the UK, so they may run things differently, but, these are not dark secrets....these are not even accurate.
This actually makes me want to get a job at a cinema. I know It'll be crappy pay, but 3 free screenings sounds like a sweet gig. And any pay is better than what I'm making now.
Markius Fox It’s better pay than most retail and fast food industries since it’s in the retail industry
I worked at a small Cinemark for a yr about 3 or 4 yrs ago and yes we throw away popcorn ever day (no we couldn't take it home)
Yes we found many diapers in the theaters especially during the summer (kids movie marathons)
And ads last from 15 to 30 minutes (done on purpose to prevent people from skipping them). We got 1 ticket+guest ticket a day
I work in a movie theatre and the one about keeping the popcorn for a week is gross. We never even keep our popcorn overnight. All the leftovers get thrown away. I don't see how anyplace would actually do that
Hayes Scarbrough
They wouldn't, it's against health regulations.
Yeah thats a old tradition in the 90s. This is when the "we pop fresh" labeling started.
Yeah I work at a theater too and we barely keep the same popcorn for 2 hours
Hayes Scarbrough my parents will buy us a pizza and go to the movies then bring us back popcorn and we'll snack on it for a week sometimes longer
Same here. We wouldn't keep ours overnight. We would put it in a big trash bag and give it to a local farm for chickens or some animal every night. The guy would come once a week. We would go through it so quickly there was no way it wasn't more than 1.5 hours old
Who buys snacks at the movie? $17 for as popcorn and soda?.. No thank you

My son owns a theater and none of this is true. They certainly do not sell old popcorn. The machine is cleaned out nightly. If you want a good movie experience go to a family owned theater instead of a corporate theater. If someone complains about the sound he turns it down. The theater is cleaned after every show. Every seat is cleaned weekly. If there is a spill after a movie it is immediatly mopped up.
Dan Winter amen
great, so there's one clean theater out there... and it's a fact that many theaters sell old popcorn
My theater I work at sells old popcorn and we have the vents hooked up to the toilets so it smells like farts and shits so they buy more popcorn
I worked for regal and they clean out the popcorn every night and it’s really clean there this is a load of BS !! The only one I can say is true it the ad and wanting you to buy snacks

Cup holders were NOT invented in 1981. I frequented movie theaters as an adult beginning in 1978 and that summer I was delighted to find cup holders in each arm rest.
Theaters are designed so that the best seat for viewing as well as speaker placement is in the precise center of the seating. Many people have issues with peripheral vision and they should sit near the back. Those with vision issues should sit in the rear. Sitting too far to the left or right will cause an imbalance in the left/right speakers so the sounds many not match what you see on the screen as far as location is concerned.
Show up early enough to get a good seat and bring ear plugs and something to read. The biggest cost in buttered popcorn is the butter and it provides much if not most of the flavor. But theaters don't offer real butter any more. Theater won't like it if you bring your own popcorn but they won't mind if you bring your own butter. So melt your own at home and put it in a bottle or small jar and bring it in and pour it on your popcorn for improved flavor.
Bring hand wipes and wipe down the hand rests. Bring a towel and put it on the seat and back and then put that in a plastic bag to bring home and launder. Keep your shoes on and the dirty floor won't be any worse than walking around outdoors or in the rest room. Don't bring babies to a theater of any kind. They won't get anything out of the movie and will disturb the other people trying to watch the movie.
Or do like me and wait until the movie comes out on blue ray and watch it at home on your town big screen with your own home theater. The money you save on popcorn, drinks etc will offset the cost of movie rental/memberships and the TV and sound system. After an initial investment of under a thousand dollars including a really nice reclining chair with cup holders I now watch movies for about $3 [$5 for two] each and that includes soda, popcorn and hot dogs. You don't HAVE to see a movie the night it opens.
They use soybean oil with anti-foaming agents. The buttery flavor is a yellow extra fine salt added with the oil and kernels when it's popped. The best brand used to be flavacol. Try putting real butter on popcorn made with that salt and it will be too salty for just about anyone. If your going to try to keep butter melted long enough to use it on movie theater popcorn be smart and get unsalted butter or ask for unsalted popcorn. Just know that it will still likely have some salt on it because there will be residue from the last batch unless their not popping at full capacity but even then they might be lazy and not want to clean more for one fool wanting a special order.
News flash: no one read all of that
Thank you for your mighty knowledge
nunya biznez Well aren’t you a damn genius!? If I had to bring a bottle of butter, towel, and wet wipes at the movies, I would watch them at home, too. And what kind of “home theater” can you have for under a thousand dollars? A 40 inch screen and a sound bar? Doesn’t exactly rival the Dolby theater.
Quick question - do you use the wet wipes and towel when you go to your “home theater?”
Also watching it at home let’s you have the privacy and privileges to pause it and control the volume to your liking
One night at our local theater I smelled chicken, yes fried chicken and they don't sell it at the counter...lol Someone yelled out " somebody's gotta some chicken" , we all got a good laugh.
Hollow Point did someone have chicken?
Somebody was eating beans and they spilled it and some teenager said out loud "This nigga eatin' beans"
We always pass the sign that says no taking foods and we always smuggle snacks in our bag and our coats it’s so fun to do it that like if you agree

Honestly if you are not obvious about it, the staff doesn't even care.
All the time
Me too
Got my freaking eardrums blown out at Bladerunner 2049.
Tyler Pritchett I complained. She stared at me with her dead eyes and replied, “Yeah nah, apparently it’s a loud movie.” I was in pain!
Me too, and it was freaking awesome. My local cinema had it cranked and I loved every second of it!
was it good tho
Is that like a Hyperbole?
I literally jumped out of my seat when blade runner started, I thought the music was TOO LOUUUD, (WE AREN'T DEAF, AT LEAST, WE WEREN'T! )
Tryna hit that 10 minute mark for more ads.
I D S come up and get your 10:00 advenue shirt
I D S the TH-cam algorithm change a few months back. The better time is now 15 minutes. It gives your video more exposure due to it being longer and the TH-cam bots favoring your video for their suggestions and such since TH-cam will make more money with more ads on the video.
That’s not actually a thing...

What about the high decibel levels at discotheques and some nightclubs? In movie theatres, the sound from the movie (depending on the movie) will vary and would not be constantly high to actually hurt your ears. However, you realise the numbness in your hearing once you come out of discotheques.
tubecrazy77 What’s the difference between a discotheque and a nightclub? We don’t call them discotheques in America so I don’t know.
snowbrdr99 They are one and the same thing. In some parts of Asia, nightclubs are still referred as discotheques.
Go watch Dunkirk in IMAX then tell me movies aren't loud enough to hurt your ears xD
Matthew Benavides I have watched Dunkirk in IMAX and yes, it is loud at times, but not consistently high like in clubs, which is my point.
I think sound quality in movie theatres are better than clubs.
I like how you circled random seats for a thumbnail

Mir D they could easily be american, where the "learnt" variation would be considered wrong in any form of literature
TheMurrmursonbottle Seeing as he used British spelling, his last name is Mead and he is subscribed to a bunch of English football channels, I figure it’s most likely that he is British. Either way, is the use of learnt really that strict in America? I thought both were correct there too.

If I were locked in the movie theater,I'd go exploring and even diving into the now access able Concession's Stockroom and help myself to some ...errrr...."free" candy and a few packages of Hotdogs and Soda AND THEN get the local PD to let me out.
Sammy Lane they lock up the food at night but the upstairs is cool.
well,
some people
Ya the stock room with all the candy and stuff it typically locked. Including the stand it self
Not to mention possible burglar alarm systems. Sounds like a good way to "call"the po po and get stuffed and cuffed. That would be a funny story.
Not trying to burst your bubble but one thing.. Cameras
Last time I saw a movie the ads were 40 minutes
You sat through 40 minutes of ads?
Oh god i would leave
Who leaves their trash on the seat? They have trashcan by the exit for when it's over.
I work at a theater and it's ridiculous the amount of trash we find on the seats. Don't even get me started on kid movies...
David La Volpa jesus christ, fuck those kids movie. I also work at a movie theater. Other than the cleaning and concessions, the job is pretty chill. Lol
Lexi Vollmer I know right
It makes me so fricken mad well it u
Used to I don't work there anymore but kid movies were horrible
I work at a theater... please be kind to us custodians when you think about trashing a theater.
- - no do your job bitch.
Speedy 420 , I do, but people like your inconsiderate ass make it much more difficult
Speedy 420 No, Be fucking matured enough to know the right thing bitch.
I try to not leave trash
I know what it is like to clean.
At a theater I only get popcorn and a drink. I buy the large popcorn and get free refill. I bring a gallon Ziploc bag and put refill in that to take home. Next couple days we still have popcorn and movie time at home.
tashalynn29 you’re one of the appreciated few.
I Actually was going to see the newest spongebob movie, and the IT trailer came on. There were children in the theatre, and most cried and screamed.
I wanna laugh but don't wanna seem like an ass, but I can definitely see the mix up at least for the theatre I work in. The managers are sent the trailers separately then ingested into each machine and they have to create a trailer playlist themselves. So person doing it could have done it on purpose too. 😂
RoyalCheweez lol
I went to watch an E rated movie (don't remember which one) and the Sausage Party trailer came on.
I took my kids to see Curious George and the trailer for “The hills have eyes” showed and my daughter would hide for previews for about 4 years after that
It trailer didn't exist when the Spongebob movie came out. If you're a troll, congratulations. If you're trying to trick people, nice try.
They don't want us to know that if you work there you can watch movies for free?
This was pretty obvious, in regular theaters, it's the same and if you are a flight attendant, you can teavel for free even when you are not working.
@@lorinctoth9402 oh i did not know that haha
I work at a movie theatre, I do it all the time
When going to the movies,I always sneak in a better selection of snacks under a well and carefully folded jacket,you guys should too.
Sammy Lane in ireland u only need a bag as full as you want they wont check
just use the 'cover bag' i bought from a medical supply store...as a nurse i can get discounts at some places...the 'cover bag' is a decorative, insulated bag used to cover, or contain, a colostomy bag.
This is a kind of a dick move, but my local theater charges 8 bucks for a cup (as in a one cup measuring cup) of popcorn. A normal sized Hershey's bar will put you back 3.50 at this place. Their fountain drinks? only one size, the size of a Mcdonalds small, and it costs 3.00, no refills. Gotta buy another cup. At full price.
But they have ZERO competition, because the people who own this theater also own the only Drive-In theater, and the next closest place is a 2 hour drive away.
Thats not even counting the $12 MATINEE price of a ticket. 14.50 normal price.
i...dont go to see movies in the theater very often these days...
There’s a dollar general near my theater and if they see you buying candy and drinks the cashiers will actually say “enjoy your movie”
i definitely do
and when one day you go to see that epic new movie, don't be shocked if you see a 30+ dollar matinee price or a closed sign at the door. =)
What theater sells you 3d glasses? Mine just gives them out.
Maybe you pay more for the ticket so that the glassess are included in the price
From my experience as a theater worker 3D films are a higher price and the glasses are included.
Tarbal Gaming Videos you probably paid extra money for a 3D movie
Tarbal Gaming Videos where do you stay
In Germany many cinemas include like 50ct in the ticket price and only give you a discount when you bring your own glasses.
I always go to the gas station to get my snacks and then put in in my jacket
or just hold it in your hand when you walk in? its not illegal? oh yeah USA XD XD XD XD XD
I smuggle them in a bag
"Smuggle"
Dab King I recently learned in the UK you can bring drinks and snacks into the cinema it depends really which one though
Not illegal but they could ask you to leave if it's blatant. Candy is one thing. A full meal is another.
I bet later there will be a movie called the advertisement
You just watch ads 😂
Lol
Lol it's called vat 19 the movie
" The Trailer Show"
Super LOL!!
Lollllll
Bring a huge purse, put your drinks and snacks from home in it. Hand them out during the darker screen shots, if there is a rule against having your own snacks. Some theaters in malls now do deals with mall restaurants or stores, to buy your snacks from these places and into the theater. They allow only these snacks from designated places to be brought in. However the price of these snacks and food are not much less than movies.
Joyce Joseph TBH, we often don't care if people bring in snacks. The employees won't care, only the managers have a chance of caring. This is only if they are out in the open. If you have candy in your pockets or in a jacket and it's obviously bulging, we can't do anything about it.
It depends on the theater owner and the rules they set and how much they enforce those rules. Thanks.
We used to go to the theater to see movies, but sitting that long without a break is no longer good for us. Also you miss a lot of the movie when you get up to go the bathroom. At our age they are necessary. Ha Ha.
Joyce Joseph I do that
if you're a man: get a satchel (man purse)
I'm almost never early to the movies anyways, so I guess I'm the only one who appreciates the movie ads
In Serbia there are no ads , combo packs are actually worth it and I actually really like to watch trailers :D
IceTube Serbia - in Serbia, movie watches you!! :D
Anthony Attwood The trailers are really one of the best parts, they pump the chemicals right into your eyes!
Lucky you
Either Serbia has some sick deal with the movie industry or they use pirated movies, because financially it's impossible to maintain a movie theater that way (coming from someone who worked in a theater)
Its true, in serbia you only get a few ads

#10: You don't pay extra for the glasses. You pay extra for the technology of the 3D film: The upkeep of the equipment and things like that.
#7: Actually, you *can* connect a game system to a projector. A certain chain actually advertises playing video games on their screens for $100 /hr. And, as for "watching movies free", well, that's part of working at a movie theatre.
#6: While it's true there are several minutes between shows, it does allow the team to clean up. If there are spills, they need to be mopped up right there so that there *isn't* a sticky floor.
#5: 15 minute previews, not 30. And isolated incidents does not make an industry standard.
#4: Actually, there are some chains that will pop popcorn fresh every day instead of letting it last for a week. Yeesh!
#3: You're not the only ones annoyed by the preshow. By the way, the preshow is shown about 20 minutes *before* the showtime, then about 15 minutes of previews.
Robert Wrench
15 minutes of previews? I’ve been seeing 20 lately
why the fuck do you care this much about a stupid video about movie theaters
Robert Wrench
My local theater told me theaters choose exactly how many minutes of previews they show before the movie; theirs is only 10 minutes. They said, that way you can call and ask, then you'll know the movie starts exactly 10 minutes (or whatever) after it's listed start time.
18-25 minutes of trailers and 5-8 minutes of stupid ads that should begin before the movies posted start time.
The only upkeep for the 3d tech is keeping the polarizers and lenses clean which needs to be done for a 2d movie as well. The projectors that display 3d have a different lens setup.
Different projectors allow for connecting external equipment. The Sony digital projectors that I helped maintain didn't have any ports on them that would allow content to be played. It was played from the internal hard drives. Content could only be added through the server or in the worst case a usb connection. Most movies were hundreds of GB for even 2D features. The highest i can recall was 850GB and that was from the early days of digital cinema before I stopped caring how big they were.
I never smelled no aroma of popcorn blowing through the movie theater. But there are hidden messages in their commercials that makes you want to buy the snacks.
When u tryna get that extra revenue : Video Duration - 10:01
Funny thing is, he talks about how theaters show you ads to make that extra money... Even tho he dosen't show any ads, he still makes the video 10+ minutes for that extra money lol
BlueJay movie theaters bring quality content and this channel is bragging about them making money.
i️ hope y’all realize youtube videos have to be 10 minutes to make money off the views, and being that this is his job, he does need to make money
Do you people even know how youtube works?
"i️ hope y’all realize youtube videos have to be 10 minutes to make money off the views" Not true. You can have a 1 second video and make money off of it. And you don't make money "off the views", you make money from the ads that people watch.
"Even tho he dosen't show any ads, he still makes the video 10+ minutes for that extra money" That doesn't make any sense at all. The video beeing 10 min doesn't give him more money. It just let's him put more ads on the video, but you just said he didn't put any ads on it. (I use adblock so I wouldn't know).
"this channel is bragging about them making money." What? How is he "bragging" about them making money? That doesn't even make sense. Why would he brag about someone else making money? All he is doing is informing people about some things.
"When u tryna get that extra revenue : Video Duration - 10:01" Well this is his job, so why not just make more money from the same amount of work?
"but it's quality content, so who gives a fuck?" Debatable, but sure.
utube red bitch
30 min of ads? Wow Americans really don't complain. In Spain is limited to 10 min because the spectators get angry and make a mess if they have to stand ads for long 😂
El chihuahualoco it's not 30 min. It's 15 at most on really popular movies like Marvel movies or Star Wars. Other movies it's 10 min as well. The video lied.
The narrator kept speaking in "pounds"... That's not U.S.
tbh I kinda like just watching the add before the movie begins +plus its also a a way for everybody to start coming in before the movie starts
A normal guy They should’ve gotten there at the time it says on the ticket, then! Duhr
In my country Its 20 minutes
As an employee at Cinemark for two years, most of this stuff really isn't true, and I've never heard of any employees trying to hide this from people. Yes, we do get two free tickets per show, meaning we can see as many movies a day as we want, and we can bring a friend along. However, we are definitely not encouraged to go see movies for free. Every single movie that Disney owns the rights to has a minimum two week ban on our guest passes. The Last Jedi had a four week ban. We also get free drinks and popcorn, as well as a discount of 50% on candy and food. Any theater that hosts Fathom Events will have at least one projector with direct AVI input, so you could hook up an Xbox to it and play some video games. Good luck getting a wireless controller to work well across a 60-foot room though. We do clean our theaters thoroughly between each show. In fact, most Cinemark theaters have recliner seats and employees are required to carry a wet and dry rag to wipe down every seat and tray in the theater. We sweep up everything on the floor so it's clean. Other than that, everything else mentioned in this video was never a thought back when I worked in a theater. The best place to get information for a video like this is from someone who actually worked in a theater.
Everett Tech Work at a cinemark rn and everything you said I can definitely verify
Everett Tech did you enjoy working at cinemark?
Jacob
As a first job/high school or college job, it's pretty chill. Easy work, flexible hours, plus free movies. However, the pay isn't great and there's no recognition for any of the good decisions you make working there. Management only notices and nit-picks the little mistakes you make, even if your work is above and beyond 99% of the time. Overall, it beats fast food if you're in high school or college, but if you have the skills to work somewhere else, do it. You'll make more money and have something more useful in your resumé.
Everett Tech thanks for the reply.
it depends on the manager really
I always go to the movies on Wednesday, as it's FREE POPCORN DAY at my theater. 8-) You read that correctly... No strings attached.
Number 8 isn't always true, I worked as a concessionist at my local theatre while I was in high school. How our combos work out tend to save people money if they were to buy something like a medium drink and a large bag of popcorn (I would normally tell customers this, because I knew they could get more for less of the price). If they went with a combo, they would be paying less plus we gave a free refill for their drink and popcorn.
Egolith there are a lot of these that are not very true
I want to go to your theatre bad! Can you really refil popcorn??😍😍
Best movie hack: sneak popcorn made at home, bottles of soda and candy from the gas station, etc (whatever ya like) in girlfriends locker room sized purse. THEY'LL NEVER KNOW
BULLDAWGR0SS Cool date, bro. Don't forget your diaper.
You can even fit the gas station in there
1) It was her idea and we've done it with groups, other couples hated paying an extra $30 when we paid less than $10.
2) A single woman could dominate the world with the contents of a purse.
what do we do if we’re single
Prysm bring a backpack or hide it in a jacket. It's not like the ushers do a strip search or anything
bro. a movie theater is not louder than a jet taking off. your ears will ring for the next ten minutes if you’re next to a jet
Technically they would be correct in that sentence db wise. A jet taking off is in an open area and generally you are near it taking off as its a hazard, where as a movie theater you are in an enclosed space where dbs have been reported to get to about 101 or even higher. Now Standing next to a jet, yea the jet is going to be loud as all fuck, and depending on the air frame normally requires two sets of ear protection
If the spl is higher than 90dB it is usually the fault of the company that set it up. Theaters are supposed to be set up at a standard volume to prevent that, but not all movie adhere to the standard. "Twister" was known to damage speakers if it was played at standard volumes.
The dislikes are the movie theaters managers😂
instead of leaving your trash on the seat you could just throw it away. that helps employees even more. also, dead on about the cleaning. i suggest bringing antibacterial wipes to clean the seats. its hard to clean a 298 seat theater in five minutes
At mine we would just walk down the aisles quickly sweeping loose stuff under the seats.
Curious who has trash cans in a theatre
Best Damn Music Around Who doesn't? People who throw trash on the floor should be banned.
Thats common sense and thats not very common these days
As a former theater employee, I can tell you that we would throw away popcorn if it was sitting for more than 2 hours and would make new batches every day
Evan Laleman how can i get hired at a theatre...i wanna work at the theater as a summer job or during my junior year (HS)...lmk
Prize Grand nothing special really. Just apply to multiple theaters. I had an easy in because I had a recommendation for an employee there. A theater is a good summer job, just don't keep it for the holiday season because you will want to quit every day you go there because how busy it is.
Evan Laleman appreatiate it
Evan Laleman yep that's true too
This. Worked at a movie theater and we did the same. Always had fresh popcorn.
if tickets weren't $25 a pop for Adults at the most common theatres in Australia, i would perhaps feel bad about sneaking in a snack. Let's say 3 adults go to the theatre, they don't have the loyalty card, the don't go to 'Cheap Tuesdays' and they each buy a medium pop corn. Quick way to spend $100, oh and that's before you pay extra for the 'Extreme' theatre fee and buy your glasses, oh, and you'll need something to drink after all that salty popcorn. Let's make that ~$120 all up. In Australia, that's a day's work for most low - medium income earners.
When we go to the Cinema, THEY CHECK YOUR BAGS for any sweets and drinks you brought elsewhere and will not let you take them in with you. So even when its hot I go in wearing my big coat. My pockets are full of sweets and drink cartoons. They have not yet checked my coat :)
3:15 At my local place they sell a combo and its 1 dollar cheaper...but what they dont tell you is your normally 3$ small popcorn comes in the combo box so its really half size....CHEAP! You actually end up wasting 2 bucks for a pretty box and less popcorn! 😎
lmao you speak like a trump tweet

I went to cinema with my mum once and we were late and my mum asked if we had missed the start of the movie and the woman working there said she's not supposed to tell us but the movies start 20 minutes after the time on the tickets
Yeah I had to talk to the service desk at the front at one point before the start of a movie. Then I said oh I think I need to go the movie starts soon. They said I was fine that they always show 20min if commercials now.
depends where u go tho, the one i worked at started 10 min after
But in India the movies start at the exact time mentioned on the ticket the ads start 10 to 15 min before the start of the movie
Yeah they do that. Time and time again. My friend usually wants to go to the theater 15 mins after the start time. I did miss a few first minutes a show though.
mum? is that like your mom?
A good hack to stop all this is netflix and chill
I just think that we should be glad that they don't play ads DURING the movie.
......Yet
And of course, 10 minutes and 1 second :D
SHF // ShadowHunterFi the ticket costs more for 3d. You're renting them
It’s because they get more money if the video is longer than 10 minutes, most youtubers do it just to get more money.
They are getting that coint.

So the one about keeping popcorn for a week and still selling it is malarkey at least in the US. I worked at a movie theatre, one of the big chains as a teen, and we tossed popcorn at the end of every night.
Also, it's been over a decade at least in the Midwest in the US since we've been able to play video games.
Also most theatres have trash cans right by each auditorium's exit. I, personally, cannot fathom why people can't carry their empty countainers to it. It takes so little effort, and usually the people who makd the most mess are the ones complaining before thei movie start about how long it takes to get a seat because of waiting on ushers to clean. Oh, the diaper thing is true and evil. Cleaning after kids movies is the worst.
Yeah, that's the one that is most obviously wrong. At every theater in my area, you can watch them pull the popcorn out of the popper that's fifteen feet behind the counter. It's also a logistical problem. A bottle of popcorn takes up far less space and saves longer than bags of popcorn. In the space you'd need to store a week's worth of popcorn, you can probably have a year's worth of bottles.
What kind of nasty creatures change a diaper in the theatre? Have some fucking respect for yourself and your child and go to the bathroom...
It still boggles my mind how parents change their child in a theatre.
No respect for their child, the audience around them and most especially themselves.
Too lazy to bring your child to a proper bathroom where you actually have space to change and clean your child? Then don't go to a movie.
Jasmine Tracy... 1 movie theatre... You're trying to refute a possible fact by 1 EXAMPLE !!!... I bet you that if you knew someone that survived being struck by lightning, you would think that it can't kill you
Jasmine Tracy what really pisses me off is when the trash cans by their theater get fill and they just put it on the ground or lay in on top so you get a mountain of trash. Take it to a different trash can or if you feel daring you can smash it down for us.
Hehehe I never buy my snacks in the movie theater. They wont get my money!!
LilBobber so you go watch movies for free...?
Not a bad idea. If people banded together and didn't buy snacks in any theaters, they would be forced to talk to movie studios and their corporations into changing the pricing systems. The only way for a theater itself to make money is from concessions.
It's really easy to do so. just requires confidence and not looking suspicious.
Is when I want to see it a good movie I get hungry I just eat at McDonald's and just buy a $1 candy, And just put it in my pocket for the moives
LilBobber i buy popcorn cuz cinema popcorn isnt a regular popcorn its the best but everything else i just sneak in
In Italy, some movie theaters have 15 minute intermission during the movie. It's great cause I can run to the bathroom without missing anything.
I noticed that, if the theater is over half full, a staff member will roll out a small snack cart during the intermission. Well played Italy, well played. Lol
My friend worked at a theater and he brought me to see a movie for free
Justin Garrett wow savage
JP Aldas ikr I felt like a badass
Justin Garrett sick, I worked at a movie theatre 12 years ago and used to go see shit for free all the time

Ive always hated pop corn and never buy it but what i usually do is buy cheaper snacks at Wal-Mart or other places and stuff them in a shoebox and have enough for all my friends which is usually 4-6 of us that go watch movies!
*TIPS* 😉
Chris usually it's not allowed to bring your own
aaa I put the snacks in a shoe box and sneak them in
who the fuck brings a shoe box to the cinema
Jens Legarth Ryge I think I already explained myself with my comment but ill say it again. once in a while if I go in a big group I take a shoe box and stuff it with food from outside the theaters it's cheaper.
dylan wow genius try to think a little harder as to why using a bag isn't the best option.
The deafening sound levels in theaters are actually painful. I used to get up and politely ask them to turn it down a bit. They almost always turned it WAY down, on purpose probably. But at least my hearing wasn’t permanently damaged.
That guy tumbling down the stairs tho.. 😂😂😂😂
What about him?
Remember the best climax, is with imax.
LMFAOO
LOL
Know any imax that show porn?
Goretorium X Sadistis your mom
Haven't seen a good necrophiliac porn in a while.
The guy sleeping thing seems far fetched because I thought they cleaned after each showing.
GrumpleslamAlabaster true
I see what your saying
Not always. Maybe the cleaners were lazy and decided to clean up in the morning instead, so I don't see how it's far fetched at all.
GrumpleslamAlabaster I'm a manager at a movie theatre and we don't clean after the last showtimes because janitors come in very early in the morning to clean. So it could have been the in between period before the janitors got there. People should always check the theatres before locking up, though. Do your know how many times I've had to wake up some drunk guy at the end of the night? Too many times lol
Steph Rainey I currently work at a movie theater. Our ushers dont clean the last shows, but there is a late night shift that stays an extra 2 or 3 hours until the last movies let out of each screening and he/she just checks each room to make sure all the customers have left the building and not hiding past lockup time or passed out in a chair. Then we lock the doors and leave for the night when the janitors are finished deep cleaning the theaters, consessions, and lobby area.
I haven't been to a movie theatre in about 15 years. Seems a lot has changed, and I'm still not missing anything.
Sorry but If I am paying 13 bucks or more to see a movie you better know that I am bringing whatever food I see fit to please my stomach. Period.
e K
..go ahead, no ones really stopping you
I agree that it's expensive, but you get what you pay for. A giant screen, big speakers, and a very different experience then if you were to just watch at home. On another note, they are only expensive if you are too lazy to look for deals. Some places might have half off one day a week, free parking, special screenings for operas, etc. You just have to bother to look.
Ian Smith I'm a VIP member and spent lots of money over the years and live in NY. What I am paying for out here is bad smell, dirty seats and loud new yorker. Having my own food is the least they can do make me come back and they have, they all know me now, for some of them that are new and didn't get much training I teach them features on their machine they didn't know about, that's how much of a movie buff I am.
MrXClassickiwi MrXClassickiwi I'm actually a grown man in the medical field and a serial entrepreneur who probably made more last year that you will ever make in your lifetime. But it's just funny how a breed of people such as yourself manage to exist in this world. But make no mistake, existing is all you will do but the rest of us will live our lives to the fullest.
Cheers!
MrXClassickiwi What the fuck did he do to you? And your thinking he'd rape a poor dog or cat? You're disgusting. And he's telling the truth, I live in Brooklyn and the seats in the movie theater are gross.
Most of the time you cant leave trash on the seat, mostly because the chairs turn.
necrOothic most trashcans are right outside of the theatre. how weak are you that you can’t pick up a soda and bucket of popcorn lmfaoo
You mean to tell me movie theaters DON'T like picking up shitty diapers off the floor ? wow that is a crazy secret holy shit !
you'd be surprized how many times that happens
So surprising
Did you know bottled water is %2000 percent overpriced but popcorn is only %1700
why would bring a baby to the theatre in the first place it's not like the baby is going to understand the movie
Some people don't want to leave the baby with a babysitter/don't have anyone to leave the baby with.
Yeah, Ill be sure to leave the window cracked.
Mouse TheMouseyMouse then don't go to the cinema
Banana Dude Because people with babies still want to go to the movies and the babies go with them.
I went to see xmen apocalypse and someone brought a baby, yes to a 12a movie. It was crying 2 minutes after it came in and had to be taken out again
As a manager at a movie theatre, some of the things on this list are not only misleading, but wrong.
For god's sake do NOT leave your trash 'in your seat' as this video suggests. There are a minimum of 3 trash cans between you and ANY exit you can possibly take to leave a theatre and you are guaranteed to pass within 4 feet of them all. Don't be a lazy douchebag; Throw. Your. Trash. Away.
The recommended 'best screen size' for an IMAX projector is just that - a recommended size. The projector itself is what makes a movie 'shown in IMAX' - it is a projector designed to be used with shorter 1.89:1 aspect ratio screens that can be scaled up or down accordingly.
The "combo pricing" is the same that all fast food restaurants use - the average savings being 10-15 cents. This is not news, nor is it something that only movie theatres do.
Almost all corporate owned theatres have a separate non-movie projector rigged up for meetings and presentations - these can be and are often used for after or before-hours gaming and movie watching by employees.
Theatres do not 'make a big batch' of popcorn to 'use all week'. That's a bald faced lie. ALL corporate-owned theatres in North America make their popcorn fresh every day.
Matthew Richards Thank you! I work at a cinema in Switzerland and I cringed hard at the things said in this video
Same here this just misleading BS
Preach it! I work at an AMC and the shit in this video is unbelievable. It's like they're blaming the employees for policies we can't set ourselves or laws not even the CEOs can fight. Like, we pop fresh everyday, that's a fact like you said. And true, we ushers only have a few minutes between shows to clean up so it's not the best clean job, but if people weren't so god damn lazy and inconsiderate it wouldn't take so long. I still get flashbacks from Beauty & The Beast (2017). Do people really think it's the usher's job to pick up all their garbage? No, it's not. I can sweep up popcorn and candy and little pieces of candy wrapper, I can even clean up spills because accidents happen, but don't make me pick up your cups, popcorn buckets, and other trash. You came in with it, you can leave with it. Don't even get me started on people who bring in chewing tobacco, spit in a cup, and leave the cup in the theater. It makes the whole auditorium stink.
And you know what's mind blowing? Dumbass kids trying to sneak into R rated movies. Like, I can see you gunning it. And don't yell at me if you're not old enough to go. Just yesterday I had a 16-17 year old kid tell me, "This is fucking bullshit. I wasted my money on these tickets and I can't even go to the movie I wanted (because I carded him at the door). Fuck this shit". I told him his options: get a guardian, get a refund, or exchange the tickets. He raised hell at the concession stand, came back with different tickets, and had one last thing to say to me: "Fuck you!". Dude, get over yourself. I could lose my job, or worse, if I don't check kids like you. Then when he left, he had cigarettes in his hand. He wasn't old enough to smoke so I guess he was just an asshole kid. The only solace I got was that his girlfriend apologized to me on the way into the movie and waved goodbye after the movie as he yanked her arm out the door.
Bottom line, videos like this really need to do their research and phrase things better because it paints us as these greedy goblins with no souls when we have no choice in the matter. They should really talk about how unfair it is that we get paid minimum wage to do what we do and can't get overtime because of that clause. This is borderline clickbait. Ugh, I hope you don't mind the rant I went on there, but I thought a theater manager of all people would understand exactly where I'm coming from. I hope you read the whole thing and maybe even respond!
Thank you! I was going to say something. I was the GM for a theatre for 5 years and so much of this is just wrong. Plus the switch to digital made it easier for us to play xbox and watch game of thrones on the big screen!!
Thank you! I've worked at AMC for 2 years and agree with everything you said. This video is full of crap. The only useful thing it said was to change babies in the bathroom.
Nice video length get that youtube moneyz
joey pigott Ikr. Had to add in that random bit about drink holders at around 8:15 to get them to the 10 minute mark.
😂😂
And he just left the outro run for a couple extra seconds and that self advertisement towards the end
They didn't check my wife's purse. We brought chips,pop and candy
Land of stupid lawsuits and nobody suing movie theatres for too loud sound volume? Amazing.
They can never do right. If people complain the volume is too high, and they lower it, the other people will complain it’s too low and they’ll have to higher it.
+FireStormBaller
Close to what you meant to say.
I think they put it high enough I don't think they ever blast the sound
Green Elephant... of DOOM: Lol, I keep rereading it like how come it doesn't sound right? I mean to say if people complain the volume is too high* not low. XD
FireStormBaller: lol I'm sure everyone knew what you meant, but it was a bit funny to me xD
30 mins of ads before a movie?!?! In Ireland it's about 5mins and like 2 trailers
I work at a theatre that only has 6mins of trailers
Lucky
Ma Rk
And weather...? Not leaving San Diego for that. ...and doctors make more in the U.S. For me, that means it's a big "no".
Plus, when you live in a destination city, you can bang women from everywhere. 😎
The theatre I work at has 15min that's including ads and movie trailers.
Where I live there’s almost 45 mins of ads!! It’s ridiculous!!
I work at a theater and the only accurate thing on this video was about the cleaning.
Nick KB was the video about the theatre you work at? You stupid mongrel
Sounds like something a corrupt movie theater guy would say >_>
Nick KB Not all theaters are the same! Did you not here say "SOME theaters" alot????
Nick KB
Exactly. I have a feeling this guy is just using facts about Britain that probably isn't teue anymore
I have to agree. I don't work at a theater and never have but I do know that some of this stuff is bogus. Like for instance, video game systems can be hooked up to the system and played on the big screen. My spouse's previous work would rent a theater out once a year and play video games and watch a movie in there.
When you don’t like popcorn so all you get is coke
Saves me some money 💵
I played Doom 3 on a theatre screen a few times. It was just NUUUTS!!!
We played super smash bros.... the theater I worked at has not upgraded its projection machines or operating system, the managers can still let employees play games after hours. Unfortunately, that's the last infrequent perk the employees have left.
Cool, did you get your drinks and snacks for free too?
We got soda and popcorn for free. Smoothies and shakes were full price. No alcohol sales after hours, but we could still get half off of anything from the kitchen as long as they were still cooking. :D
Arminius liar
zL-PowWerR- How do you know he is a liar. Stop assuming things, I bet your just a jealous kid.
I worked at a theater YEARS ago..... played video games in an auditorium once.. The bit about venting popcorn fumes into the auditoriums is bullshit.
That seemed at bit far-fetched
I wouldn’t get mad if that were true, it’s just strategy
Well I can believe why they think that because the whole place smells of popcorn anyway, from all the popcorn that’s everywhere.
It's probably only in like ONE theatre.
I know also its easy to go into the theatre and not get anything
Meh I just sneak in my snacks, I go with my friends and we mostly have our backpacks so its pretty easy. Im not paying 5$ for popcorn which I can get for 1$ or less in a store right outside the theatre
katusha x true! A movie theatre is being built right beside my school, pretty rad since we have a convenience store right around the corner lmao
katusha x You put the dollar signs on the wrong spots its $5 and $2 not 5$ and 2$
retroandmodern gamerz thanks
You know that you don’t need to sneak your snacks in? Or at least not in the UK...
Emmy ! In Canada
My mum and friend brought to a theater to watch Zootopia once but instead of playing that movie a horror movie played...i was so happy and dying of laughter
