I work at a movie theater. I work the concessions but I've worked long enough to know a little something-something about ushering and cashiers. And a little bit of what managers do. Ask me anything!
yes and no. 1 adult (18+) can be the guardian for a whole group. However, they need to be with that group through the entire movie. So if they left halfway, then you no longer have an adult in that group. The adult would have to come back in, or the whole group leaves with them.
There arent any camera's in theaters. But's it isnt about the couples. It's about everyone's privacy.
The trailers you see of people getting scared in theaters are all fake
There's no time restriction for teens. If there's a pg13 movie at 1am, go ahead and watch it.
I think that if you know they can be well behaved, it shouldn't be a problem. A lot of the time, a parent doesnt want to see the same movie as the kids so they'll cordinate the times the movie ends so they'll meet up again quickly. We have spots like the arcade and the lobby where we have tv's as popular meetup locations.
All in all, it should be ok to have a kid go watch a movie alone, provided that they're watching an age appropriate movie. a 7 yr old probably wont be able to get tickets for a pg13 movie

Do you think the nets should be lower for girls?
There really isn't a policy on how old you have to be to see a movie by yourself in general. Just on the movies themselves. Like, you can't have an underage person watch a rated R movie by themselves. But you can have a 7 yr old or whatever watch a pg movie alone. A lot of parents do that seeing as they don't always want to watch a kids movie with them And they'll watch another movie that just gets out at the same time as the kids one
I don't know about other theaters. But at mine's there's nothing behind the screen. Just a wall. There is a room by the emergency exit but there's nothing in it. If anything was stored there, you'd have to go in during a movie to retrieve it, disrupting the movie.
Besides, even if there was no one in the theater itself, it doesnt mean there's nobody at the projection booth. There's a possiblity they'll see you.

I'm sorry, you won't find any dead bodies behind the screen. If that's what you're wondering
