A theater in England this past week was scheduled to
show the new children’s movie, Madagascar
3. Tons of children with their parents filled the theater in excitement for
this family friendly movie filled with penguins, giraffes, lions, zebras, and
many other animals.
Just as the movie was about to begin, BAM! A corps
was hurled on the screen. Screams of terror filled the theater as parents
rushed their traumatized children out of the theater. What happened? Instead of
a showing for Madagascar 3, these
innocent children endured the beginning of PARANORMAL
ACTIVITY 4!
Parents were outraged at this mistake made by the
theater. How could they mistakenly air a children’s PG movie with a rated R
movie? A spokesman for Nottingham’s Cineworld apologized for the incident
saying it stemmed from a “technical error with the projector”. A refund and
complimentary tickets were offered to the moviegoers and a chance to see the
real Madagascar 3 later that same
evening.
How could a mistake like this even happen? Should the
theater be checking the films each time before sending people in? Have you ever endured this mistake? Check out

Wow! I can't believe they would make a mistake so large! I have never personally endured something that would scare or scar me so terribly. I can only imagine what those children went through. I would bet money that it was some employee thinking they would be funny and pull a prank like this. I think it is disgusting though. The theaters should be checking the films before they play each one but I think that they should just have trustworthy employees in the first place. But I have to ask... There is a Madagascar 3? What are they even doing anymore?
ReplyDeleteIf this was a joke then the employee should be ashamed, but if this was a honest mistake from the movie theater then they really should pay better attention. this is something that is so routine that it should in no way be messed up.
ReplyDeleteI believe that accidents happen and feel like the movie theater management handled this situation appropriately. When something like that happens there isn't really anything the theater could do to take back the image that was viewed by the audience of parents and children. I would suggest to let this be a wake up call for other theaters to be extra careful and to do a run through to make sure the right movie is playing and properly. This could be done during the clean up of the previous movie before another movie starts.
ReplyDeleteThat was a big joke, I think both parents and child get very big shock. How can they just happened? I want know what those parents do for the theater after that?
