I was at one too. but it wasnt cause the movie was terrible, it was cause the projectionist was.. Movie was horribly out of focus, and about 7 feet too far to the left, and down too low that you could only see the top half of the film.

Tiny little shithole theatre refused refunds for it, too. It comes as no shock that it was bulldozed a few years later.

Godzilla 2000, it was the worst most boring piece of shit I've ever experienced.

Bonus, In the name of the King. I didn't walk out because one of my friends was being stubborn, but another friend and I spent 1/3 of the movie wandering around the theatre cause we just needed breaks.

I don't even hate Uwe Boll, we saw House of the Dead and enjoyed it, even if ironically.

I stayed as well as most of the audience but when I sat for Kill Bill, at least 10 people got up and walked out when O-Ren Ishii took the head off Tanaka.

Idk if this counts but me and a friend of mine went to go see the movie Skyline and no one walked out because no one else was there in the first place ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I once took my grandfather, a retired commander of the Land Army, to watch a leftist comedy. While I liked it, he was somewhat uncomfortable, but we watched it till the end.

A couple months later, he wanted to take me to watch a documentary on the life on a wooden ship over months, maintained for historical conservation. I'm not going to say it was the biggest turd I had ever seen in my entire life, but it was a serious contender, but nonetheless I had committed myself to watch it till the end because my grandpa did the same effort for me. In the end, it was him who asked me to leave early because he was bored.

I can only think of one. The original movie of The Barnyard. It's a kids movie, of course, and it was never going to be great, but kids were asking to leave that movie. That's impressive.

Fitting first example - I once rented Eragon on DVD, and turned it off after at most 15 minutes because it was so bad. Don't think even serving a life sentence I could become bored enough to reconsider watching that...

I watched several people leave during Team America. Yeah, it was the sex scenes.

I saw Ecks vs Sever in theatre, and I wish I had walked out.

Phenomenon (1996) with John Travolta.

We were with a group and some of the group wanted to see it, despite doubts by some of us. So we went anyways, figured even if it's bad, it's a shared experience. The movie was kinda meh, boring and forgettable, but not bad per se. However it is a looooooong movie, after about an hour about half of the group wanted to leave. Multiple people had already walked out of the theater at that point. By the time 90 minutes rolled around even the people who really wanted to see the movie said they wanted to leave. We were one of the last to leave, most people had walked out at that point. The theater apologized and gave everyone a voucher for another movie.

It wasn't even the good kind of bad where it turns into campy or corny or anything like that. It was just boring AF and maybe more of a TV movie than an actual theater experience.

My mom and I walked out of Jurassic Park 3 and into Artificial Intelligence and we weren't the only ones. To this day, I haven't seen all of either film, but after seeing Jurassic World maybe I was too harsh on JP3. I remember quite liking what I saw of AI. I should rewatch it from the start.

Hedwig. I thought it was such a beautiful movie and about half the people in the theater left.

Alien Covenant. After the flute scene I went out, fucking atrocity of a movie. Let's hope the new one is better, now that Scott isn't directing it.

Dude, where's my car?

We saw it after we went to see the shaft movie and got free passes because film burned - it really did that! - at a quiet point with palmieri. We lost the 5 slow minutes in that film.

We saw it on free passes and I still wanted my money back; but I sat through every minute and hated it instead because the tickets were still ours and formerly-poor kids don't waste stuff like that.
