Went to see “the descent” when it came out with my mom. We lived in rural church lovin west Michigan and were not surprised to see that the theater was relatively empty. As the movie was starting tho a sweet looking elderly couple came in, walkers and all, and quietly made themselves comfortable in the front row. My mom and I gave each other a “wtf?” look, but damn if they didn’t sit through the whole thing without a peep.

After it was over on the way out we heard the man say to his wife “I don’t think that was the robin williams movie.”

Close second—saw spirited away in theaters when it came out and it was packed with a lot of cheerful parents bringing their little (like 4-6 yr old) kids.

People were trickling out at various points, but the exodus really kicked off with the no-face stuff. By the end there were parents all up and down the hall on the way out, crouching next to their sobbing, terrified children and saying “I’msorryimsorryimsorryimsorry” while the kids were wailing things like “YOU SAID THIS WOULD BE LIKE TOTORO!!”
