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!

How old do my kids have to be to watch a different movie from what I watch in a same theatre around the same time schedule? I enjoy a lot of kids movies, but sometimes there are some that I really don't wish to watch...thank you!

Asked by Mamabanana over 10 years ago

That's more of a subjective question. If you think your toddler can sit sit and watch a movie than most 14 year olds can, then by all means let him. You know your kids and they are allowed to see the kids movie, not like they need an adult constantly like R movies. 

I only ask to make sure your movies end around the same time or establish a meeting place with your kids before hand. Not all theaters have them, but mines have an arcade where my siblings can entertain themselves there for a bit until my movie's over.

What if I pay for a ticket to see a pg movie but instead I see a different one that rated R. I'm 13 btw

What if your 16 but look older like 18 to 20 and you want to go see a Rated R movie would they ID you? What happens if you show them an ID from your school saying your a Junior? Would that make it better? Or what?

Asked by Sallie over 10 years ago

Yes, nope, nope. You will get carded well past 18. In my state, you can obtain an ID when you're 14. I don't know about other places but it's always good to have. They're not going to take your word for it.

Kicking people out is the most favorited part of the job.

Hi I was wondering what happens if your caught sneaking into a R rated movie but with pg-13 tickets? Thanks!

Asked by 16 year old kid over 10 years ago

How often does your theater show classic films? And double features where two movies are worth the price of one?

Asked by Anonymous over 10 years ago

My theater shows the classics every week. As well as opera preformances and mma/boxing matches.

aint nothing worth dem ticket prices, man

How old do you have to be to work at a movie theater? I am 17

Asked by kayla over 10 years ago

14 is the legal working age in most states.

Seeing as you're 17, you're more sought after than anyone younger than you because you can legally operate more machinery and stay longer hours.

It's a decent first job. You can kiss your weekends goodbye

Hi! At my church, we won some free "manager passes" to a local movie theater. What is a manager pass, and how can I use it?

Asked by musteatducks over 10 years ago

I think it's just a fancy way of saying passes. Your church should let you know which theater you can use them at (or it might say on the passes themselves). Once there, i think you can just go to guest services to redeem them
