We've had multiple school age children get blown away while playing at school and anyone could walk into almost any school this very day and go tee off on some 6 year olds. Then hysteria, media, outrage, memorials....next week "back to school kids!" with maybe an officer at that school moving forward. For whatever reason, as a society we just don't want to emphasize security as a top priority. Except kind of at the airport and at some sporting events

I think this is a good explanation. For me personally, I won't go to a movie in the afternoon or night...only the morning when people not many people are there.
After the Colorado incident, I get anxiety being in big crowds like that with no quick way out such as a movie theatre.
You'd think they'd take the lead and market a safe approach. I would be happy to pay 2-3 more dollars if it meant that the theater had a metal detector in use.
