Can you bring backpacks into a movie Theatre?
Bag & Package Policy
In an effort to enhance the safety and security of our guests and employees: Any bags or packages measuring larger than 12" x 12" x 6" will not be permitted into the theatre. Exception: Medical equipment bags and diaper bags.
a movie theatre is private property, and you use is subject to conditions, such as safety checks of your bag.
What if they check your purse? Most theatres do not check bags, but if they do they will likely not move things around inside your bag. If you cover your food with other items, you should be fine.
Most of the time at most of the theaters, the ticket inspectors will ask you to deposit your backpacks at the drop-off counter. They might let you bring your backpack along only if are they allowed to see inside it. This serves the important rule at any given movie theater: “No outside food or drink is allowed”.
AMC, the nation's second-largest cinema chain, gives theaters managers the discretion to check for bags if they have security concerns, but there is no bag check policy for all theaters, said one person close to the company. AMC spokesman Ryan Noonan said the company does not comment on security measures.
For years, smuggling food and drink into cinemas has felt like a crime, but no more. Our wildest dreams have come true, and it has finally been confirmed that, yes, you can officially bring your own snacks to watch films in public places.
Can I bring in my own food and drink? Cineworld have a strict NO HOT FOOD OR ALCOHOL policy. We reserve the right to refuse customers entry into the screens with hot food or alcohol bought outside the premises. All our cinemas display the necessary signage, advising customers of this policy.
Yep — most theaters have no problem with guests bringing blankets or even pillows and such into the theater. As long as it doesn't get in the way of other guests, you're fine.
Yes they do. Or your shopping bags if you have them. Logan J. Yes.
The most common consequence is you being asked to throw the food away or return it to your car. It all depends on where you're caught with the food. There is always a chance that you may be asked to leave if you are caught in the theater while seated…. but that rarely happens.
Can you bring your own snacks into the movies?
Turns out you're actually allowed to bring your own snacks in. Take that money-sucking concession stand.
