Another stupid "Non story" which shouldn't really even be in the news. You are not allowed to take babies into the Cinema, they are the rules so what is the story here ?

The baby doesn't want to see the film , the other cinema audience do not want a crying baby disturbing them and to be honest the mother will be distracted with the baby so she will not be able to relax and enjoy the film.

That is why the rule is there so why is this even in the news.

It's a stroke of genius. Because do you know what's even more annoying / loud than a newborn baby who is likely to sleep through the whole thing anyway)? A group of 15 year olds. Ugh. Giggling and screeching and cackling away, playing with their phones, chasing each other about, throwing popcorn at each other. Now THAT is off putting. Much rather have a whole row of babies than not one, but several, groups of loud teenagers! And you can't stop those from going to a 15 rated film .

No - specific adult viewings are the future.

Or, I tend to just go on a Monday to Wednesday afternoon during term time. You usually don't get more than 5 or 6 people at a screening... And a few times, I've had a whole cinema screen to myself .

(Yes, I go to the cinema by myself quite often, sad, I know...)

haha you're not sad, i would go to the cinema by myself, there's no shame in that

That's a great idea and yes, I agree with your point on giggling, pop corn flinging teenagers, I wish our cinema had adults only screenings!

Depends on the baby, under 3 months a lot will sleep through anything. Older than that, probably not.

My 2nd would have slept through a film at that age. My first couldn't sleep through the sound of a squeaky floorboard .
