All the best seats at Cinemark are handicspped, so yeah I sit there if it's an empty theater. Can't remember ever seeing anyone sit in them.

I have sat next to a couple in an empty theater for the good view. It felt awkward so I moved one over

My local AMC doesn’t assign seats. First come first serve.

Yes. Pick the seats and sit where you picked

Otherwise it’s mayhem out there

This shouldn’t be so hard

Why wouldn't you just originally pick the seat you want? I normally shoot for 2nd row in the middle right behind the handicap seats.

Nothing irks me more than somebody sitting 2 seats over from me in an empty theatre. Spread the frick out man

When I was a kid movie theaters were all first come, first serve.

When buying tickets online became a thing, people could reserve their seats and that's the norm. So yeah, people who buy their tickets with an assigned seat want that seat.

I haven't seen a free for all theater in a long time but I'm sure they still exist.

This would be way funnier in an assigned seat situation where you are on the website and see one seat taken in an empty theater and purposely choose the seat next to them. Act normal, but as the movie starts and no one else comes he's going to know you saw the seat map and did that 100% on purpose.

Left side back row, unless its a empty theater. That area is usually pretty empty and I do not like people.
