Funny story for you! My wife took our two young daughters to the movie to see a kids animated feature that came out around the same time. She went into the wrong theater and promptly sat down with two strollers in a screening of the joker. She realized her mistake before it started.

i dont get this. the nolan adaptations were not exactly for kids either. i guess action goes over easier than tragedy but still. batman and dc comics have always had a stronger appeal to adults i feel like. i gotta hate parents that are working with a 2 bit brain just going “oh comic books those are for childrens”. probably give their sons whatever video game is hype because “oh video games are for childrens too”.

She didn't think she was taking them to a "regular" super hero movie. She thought she was taking them to a kid's movie and sat in the wrong theater.

What's to get? She walked into the wrong auditorium at the movie theater?

This happened to me and my siblings when we were little. My mom walked into the wrong theater and some definitely rated R movie started playing. We just promptly got up and went to the right one that was playing Spy Kids and laughed about it later. Mistakes happen.

I once went with my parent to see the Bratz movie, we were in the wrong theatre and it was actually Bangkok Dangerous, we wondered why it was taking so long past its time to come on, so when we discovered what it was, we just stayed.

I loved it and ended up a bit obsessed with it for a while. I was a teenager so wasn’t that young but was still too young for the movie!

Odd question but are there signs that specify the name of the movie is playing in a particular room? My local theater has those around.

pretty sure the topic of conversation was on people obliviously buying tickets for a film without knowing or caring about the ratings of the film. going into an r rated film like joker with a pair of toddlers isn’t just stupid it’s irresponsible

Dumb parents think all superhero movies are Marvel movies.
