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!
It's possible to rent out a whole theater but the price depends on the size of the theater. However, the cost needs to make up for the losses the cinema would have had as if they cancelled the showing. In other words, say a theater seats 300 people so you'd have to pay for all those 300 seats (about $3300) and I don't know think they charge you for other stuff. So we rarely get someone renting a theater unless it was a company renting it for it's employees. We do have birthday party rooms but it's just what they are: rooms with decor targeted towards a younger audience. It's $18/ child and it doesn't include food.

Hmm. My theater doesn't have any scanners nor have I been to one that has them. I wouldn't know anything about it :/ I'm assuming the noise doesn't change

It happens. Nothing that can really be done about it after they've seen it. Managers are not going to be chasing them down and ushers are not going to make a big deal about it. At the end of the movie, their main concern is cleaning the theater as they only have a few min to clean the whole thing. They probably don't even notice the teens coming out.

You are able to go in so long as you have a picture ID proving you're 17. Your friends, however, cannot go in unless someone OVER 18 is with them. Unfornately, you cannot be that "adult."

Are Peace Corps volunteers just a bunch of "hippie freaks?"

Have you ever suspected that the judging in a pageant was rigged?
Rap Promoter / Manager
Do venues you rent express concern about a higher risk of violence because it's a rap concert?
My theater has 20 screens with the smallest being more than enough to seat all oof the employees. So it's pretty huge.
As for design, there's nothing too fancy about it. Sure, we might have some decor, but it's not works of art, hanging curtains, ect. So I guess it's definitely, "mainsteam"

Unless you have an adult with you, you will be denied entry every time.

Nice try, teen.
1) Get a a parent to buy them a ticket
1b) Buy a ticket for another movie that's playing around the same time in the same vicinity.
2) Have the parent continue to walk with them (or by themselves if they bought it for a different movie), past the usher ripping the tickets.
3) Go into the restricted theater.
Sounds simple? You're suppose to have a parent be with you at all times. If there isn't one present, They wont sell you the ticket, you wont get past the usher, and if they see you in a theater without an adult, they'll ask and will kick you out if you don't have one.
But please, don't get mad if you're caught. It wont help your situation and we might get security if you're being difficult.
