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!

can teenagers go see a movie at any time or is there a specific time that underaged people can go?

Asked by Yenis about 11 years ago

There's no time restriction for teens. If there's a pg13 movie at 1am, go ahead and watch it.

So i got caught sneaking into a imax movie. A determined worker recognized me (I've done this multiple times) and told the manager on me. She said pay for the proper ticket or get kicked out. How long should i wait for them to not regonize me anymore

can children under 13 or 11 go to movies alone? (without an adult)

Asked by lily about 11 years ago

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

I've been told that if no one is in the movie theater you can sneak behind the movie screen? I have no idea what's back there but I really wanna find out. What are the chances of getting caught and what would happen if I was?

Asked by Eli Lexington almost 11 years ago

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
