Can I go to another hall after the movie is over? What are the consequences of being caught?

I believe that many people usually go out to watch movies, and the moment they walk out of the movie theater, they will mumble in their hearts, thinking about whether they can continue to watch other movies if they hide in the theater and don't come out, or pretend to go to the toilet and no one will find out that I haven't left, but everyone has more or less thought so, but few people really dare to do this. So, is this kind of behavior feasible, and what are the serious consequences if you are really caught? Today we are going to talk about this topic.

First of all, it must be noted that although this kind of behavior does not seem to be very serious, if you are caught by the theater and want to hold you responsible, you may be suspected of violating the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, and you can be given a warning or a fine of up to 200 yuan, and if the circumstances are more serious, you can be detained for more than 5 days and fined 500 yuan.

Secondly, if you do hide and are not discovered by the cinema staff, although it is a bit unethical, it is indeed possible to secretly watch a few more movies. But then again, you'd be wrong to think that you succeeded because you hid well. In many cases, the success of this operation has nothing to do with how well you hide it, but because the movie theater chooses to turn a blind eye to you even if it finds out.

If you manage to sneak into the theater of the next movie, the theater has its own system, and each theater is equipped with a camera, and many times, the theater staff will be able to know how many people should be in the theater, how many people are actually there, and where everyone is sitting. If you can watch a movie inside with peace of mind, it only means that the theater staff don't want to care about you at all.

If you go to the movies during non-popular schedules, everyone knows that theaters have off-seasons and peak seasons, such as Spring Festival and National Day, although there are many people who come to watch the movie, it is convenient for you to hide secretly after watching it, but in the same way, because of the large number of people, many theater locations have long been sold out, and you hide and don't leave, even if the theater doesn't come to you, the next audience to watch the movie will wonder why someone occupies his place. So during the peak season, even if you manage to hide in the cinema, there is no place for you to sit.

Is it okay to do it in the off-season? It's true, for movie theaters, maybe there are only 20 30% attendance in the off-season, and whether a movie is watched by a few people or dozens of people, the cost is the same. From this point of view, if you successfully sneak into the theater, many theaters will hold the mentality that more is better than less than not seeing you, even if they find you. After all, they also know that many people who do this kind of thing are greedy people, even if the staff invites people out, they will definitely not be willing to make up the ticket, it is better to go with him, in case you get used to it or fall in love with watching a movie, maybe you will come more often next time.

If you are happy to watch the second show and are ready to go out, many movie theaters now set up a code swiping machine at the exit, and when a movie theater is over, the audience needs to swipe the code on the movie ticket at the door to leave. If you sneak into two shows, there is a high probability that you will not be able to open the door with the movie ticket of the first show, and although you have seen the movie at that time, you will be embarrassed on the spot at the exit. If you have a slightly thinner skin, you may want to dig a crack in the ground and get in. Of course, if you are not a ticket evasion, but just want to see what movie is playing next door, you may also encounter the following situation, the cinema staff calls you to watch it, but you don't watch it.

To sum up, although some people have tried to secretly watch a few more movies and successfully evaded the investigation and punishment of the movie theater, in fact, this kind of behavior violates the public security administration punishment law, and once discovered, it may face serious consequences such as warnings, fines and even detention. In addition, the fact that cinema staff generally choose to turn a blind eye and not be held accountable does not mean that such behavior is encouraged or condoned. Moreover, even if you manage to hide in the theater, you may not be able to continue watching the movie because the space is occupied. Therefore, leaving the theater according to regulations after the end of the movie and respecting the rights and interests of other audiences is also a manifestation of responsibility for one's own behavior.
