I don’t know if this is happening to an increased extent in the UK, and I have no interest in Wicked specifically, but unlimited tolerance of phones in cinemas will probably induce me to give up on the theatrical experience entirely. @cineworld @vuecinemas @ODEONCinemas https://t.co/MaJiHoIPZQ

Can we stop normalising people taking photos of the movies they’re watching in a theatre.
If you take your phone out FOR ANY REASON in a cinema, you are a twat. https://t.co/QGHW9fGPhJ

So for the theatrical experience to survive we need to tolerate people recording the screen so they can post entire scenes of a movie that just opened to social media? Absolutely bleak shit.

I don’t really care if it’s just one picture and ‘the world kept spinning’, putting your (silenced) phone in your pocket…is not and has never been a huge demand or personal sacrifice. Pitiful how low the bar for a bit of a respect has gotten. https://t.co/svClpVYs3S

What is going on w/ the theater experience? After the pandemic did folks forget that this isn’t their home? I saw Wicked this weekend, someone was taking photos in our theater & the dude that sat next to me took his shoes off and just started digging into his snuck in Sushi https://t.co/fzW50q8dLH
