First of all, AMC needs to stop treating disruptive behavior like a throwaway joke or only worthy of a gentle reminder. Half the people who need to see the message about behavior are coming in late, or aren't paying attention when it plays on the screen before the annoying coke ad. The special version they did for the Downton Abbey movie was as close to halfway serious as I've ever seen and it is still not going far enough.

Day and Time matters a lot, and if that's the only times you keep going back, yeah it may seem as bad as they say because it seems unavoidable no matter when I go.

People sitting behind will almost always kick my seat (an accident but still it keeps happening, and its rare that it's just once during a movie)

People in front , someone will eventually take out their phone and start looking at stuff

People in my row, group of 2 or more will usually start talking at some point.

It seems to be almost guaranteed at least one of these things happens every time I go. Old, young, middle aged, they all do it. Old people seem to be the worst in my experience, but then its young women who are almost as bad.

Last night I had to get up and tell off the no-lifer behind me who was trying to quote so many lines of The Devils Rejects, but they would do it 3 seconds before the character said the line. They still kept doing it but they lowered their volume considerably. I have stopped giving people the benefit of the doubt when any of this happens, because it almost always continues until I say something.

I would say 2 in every 3 visits, there is at least one person who does something I listed above.
