>Newly appointed AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron is open to the idea of allowing people to text in theaters. The businessman, who previously headed Starwood Hotels and Resorts and co-owned the Philadelphia 76ers basketball team, told Variety at CinemaCon on Tuesday, April 13, that he’s considering an experiment with relaxing mobile phone bans.
>While discussing AMC’s planned merger with Carmike Cinemas and strategies to engage millennials, Aron explained that you have to factor in cellphones and other mobile devices.
>“When you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don’t ruin the movie, they hear, ‘Please cut off your left arm above the elbow,’” the CEO said. “You can’t tell a 22-year-old to turn off their cellphone. That’s not how they live their life.”
>“We’re going to have to figure out a way to do it that doesn’t disturb today’s audiences,” he added. “There’s a reason there are ads up there saying turn off your phone, because today’s moviegoer doesn’t want somebody sitting next to them texting or having their phone on.”
>Aron continued that “one possibility” would be to have mobile-friendly designated areas inside the theater, but “what may be more likely is we take specific auditoriums and make them more texting-friendly.”
>>68258380
I will never go to another AMC theater again
I hope every AMC burns

This doesn't sound real. I'm going to have to see the article.
>>68258380
sounds to me like some peeps over at AMC are bored as hell to come up with shit like that
>>68258380
Dammit, the best theater near me is an AMC.
Like, I'm not gonna pay 25 bucks to sit in a theater and fucking text. There's a reason I'm sitting there and paying for Jew Popcorn and Mr. Pibb: I want to watch a fucking movie, not see how many holes Stacy's getting stuffed this weekend or 10 tips on how to jerk off in public.
>But it's the customer's choice!
FUCK YOU, the customer is wrong in this case.
>>68258380
does anyone else not really have a problem with texting in a movie? I fucking detest people who answer phone calls but if you turn down your brightness and turn off those stupid fucking clicking noises it really isnt the obtrusive unless you're autistic
There is a designated bullshit area, it is called the lobby.

This is what the people in charge of the film industry think about your generation....
Ill have to not go to the theater even more now!!
>>68258380

I find it distracting, but maybe I wouldn't if people actually turned down the brightness which they don't.

This. At this point, I find that most people know to turn the sound off, but they still don't get the concept of turning down the brightness. It's weird, because you think the brightness would be hard on their eyes, but apparently they don't even notice it.

You want to get people back in your theaters?
Try lowering the price of a ticket.
For fuck's sake, a movie costs more than some people get paid for two hours of work. It has nothing to do with the fact that teens don't want to go since they can't text. Teens will always show up to movies because it's a dark place away from their parents' watchful eye.
The place you're losing money is with the older crowds who no longer think of your product as affordable. Especially when, for the price of one theater-going experience, they can sit at home and watch endless hours of entertainment.
Y'all niggas got greedy and have no one to blame but yourselves. The market adjusted itself to the demands of the consumer and cut you guys out.
And you think it's bad now? Just wait until studios get really desperate and start offering their new releases VOD the day they come out in theaters. Then you assholes are really fucked.
You guys realize this is fake, right?
I've never been in the same theatre as someone who texted during the film. At least I don't think I ever have been. I'm too focused on watching the movie I paid to see instead of looking at fellow audience members.

>>68258380
AMC is supposed to the be the expensive and high end chain. Why would they ruin their own movie-going experience like this? And then presumably still think they can justify being the most expensive cinema?
This is like Apple openly saying that their new phone will not offer as many features than the last one (we're only including the apps that 22 year olds need...) but just as expensive because it's Apple.

They do with the parents there, ya. It's their kid, their choice.
Only NC-17 doesn't allow kids.
Can someone explain this whole cellphone obsession to me? Why can't they put down the phone?
I use burner phones and rarely text anyone

good god how could anyone ever watch a drive in movie?? all those tail lights! such an obscene distraction purely unthinkable
Wake me when I can smoke in the theater again.
>tfw seeing the matinée screening of a movie on a weekday is a relatively small town
Not a soul in theater, I am the king of the kino
>>68266877

this is what leads to skynet, people spouting le tinfoil hat conspiracy nut job! When companies have patented and implemented this kind of tech
>“When you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don’t ruin the movie, they hear, ‘Please cut off your left arm above the elbow,’” the CEO said. “You can’t tell a 22-year-old to turn off their cellphone. That’s not how they live their life.”
so turning it off is amputation, what happens if I smash it?

I only go to the theater a couple times a year though. I don't think I've been once yet this year.

It would be extremely painful.
This reminds me of what Mike said during one of the redlettermedia reviews. I forgot which one exactly but it was that theaters should just blast some white noise for an hour while everyone just texts on their phones and eat popcorn.
i've never even seen an amc theater before
>>68263525
>Excuse me.
>Sorry
>Pardon Me
Really great moving watching experience, Anon. Everyone is fucking coming and going to the texting box.
It clearly Should be option 1 and the back-row should be texting allowed at all showings and can cost a little more (that is of course saying that all theaters need to hurry up and switch to reservered seating.
>>68258380
AMC more like FUCK YOU
>>68259535
I'm so grateful to have this chain nearby. My nearest cinemark just changed up their hole seating arrangement and installed comfy recliners though, so I hope they don't AMC their shit up.
More like GAY EMM SEE, amirite?
>>68272181
I feel have a nice little theater chain in my state with comfy seats that's close by. Now I'm getting a cinemark near me as well.
I can't wait to hear about all the kids getting beat up/shot for fiddling around with their phone and ruining the experience for others.
RIP AMC.... YOU DID THIS.
Uh, sorry, this is totally dumb.
White bright screens will make me never go to a threatre.
They might as well just let public sex be fine in their theatres. Just as distracting.
I'll just keep slapping phones out of peoples hands and laugh as they go skittering across the disgusting sticky floor. Do it all the time already in theaters.
I'm a 6'7 man of Sasquatch-like proportions with a huge fucking beard. Nobody wants to gamble that I might not be able to fight at all, which is secretly the case. (Although I could probably just smash people with pure body weight unless they were the chimpest of negros)
>>68260848

There's a few theatres around me that allow that.
