Walking out of movies

I completely agree bro. Once I've paid, i'm gonna ride it out for better or worse.

If you were interested enough in a movie to pay to see it, then no, I really don't get walking about of a movie.

The New World - 2005

Went with a group of friends on a Sunday during college.

Combination of how the plot played out and the movie being literally 3 hours long.

It was a split decision between those that left and stayed. Ive still never seen the end of it, but I know what happened.

Usually if I don't like a movie, I will watch it all and then go sneak into another movie to get my money's worth(especially if I get a large coke and popcorn and utilize the refill)

I agree when it comes to non-comedies. Usually no matter how bad the movie is, I am too curious about the ending to leave. Comedies are another story. In high school a big group of us went to see Stuck On You for God knows why. When the movie was basically resolved but wouldn't fricking end, most of us walked out.

I've only done it once or twice. Only one I can remember recently was walking out of Year One to go see The Hangover instead...best decision of my life.

Oh and this is one of the few opportunities I've gotten to show off what I learned in Economics. This is a prime example of what is called a "Sunk Cost". The basic logic is that, if I paid for the movie I'm going to watch it, even if it sucks. However, the fact that you already paid, and cannot get your money back is a "sunk cost." That money is gone no matter what, and should play no part in your decision. The next thing to decide is "Do I want to sit here for another hour of a crap movie, or do I want to say 'frick it' and leave and do something more productive for an hour?" The latter choice is the more economical choice.

BAM!...that is why you leave a movie.

I don't walk out...I'll just rub one out and take a nap in the theater

I don't know why I remember this, but I walked out of The Temp to go see Princess Bride.

Never finished the Temp.

Only movie I ever walked out on was Highlander 2.

I went to see 28 days later and there was a black couple behind me. If anyone has ever seen it the guy is naked at the beginning lying in the bed, anyway the chick told her man that they needed to leave cause she didn't pay good money to see white dick. That was the best part of the movie, her not the white penis.
