In all fairness, it wasn't technically the worst movie I have seen in theaters. However, my expectations were pretty high, and it just shit all over them, so for me it was the biggest swing for a movie.

What is the worst movie you've seen in the theatre?
- Thread starter AuthenticM
- Start date
I knew the gist of the first one, but a couple of friends invited me to see HC2 and said they'd even pay for my ticket, so I said why not.
Honestly, the audience cheering on the film was just as bad as much of the content of the actual film.
First Sunday
Wanted to hang with a friend, he invited me out to this because he was on a Katt Williams kick as of late.
Had I not been a overly-self-serious teenager I probably would have enjoyed it more, but at the time, I thought the movie was dogshit and constantly held it over my friend's head afterwards whenever movie opinions came up.

Weekend at Bernies 2. Loved the first and, while my junior high aged self, at the time, was not very hard to please at all (I'm the type of person who loved the Police Academy movies), even then I knew that was an awful film. Unfunny.
Planet of the Apes with Marky Mark. Easily the worst I've ever seen. It has zero redeeming qualities.
How does one EVER get in a situation where you went to see Freddy Got Fingered? There were no signs that it would turn out to be good. None.
TL;DW: the movie is a meta commentary on film making and that Tom Green used studio money to show what a waste of resources it was.
I saw Cool as Ice in the theater. It was REALLY not good. But I remember walking out thinking that it wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but still the worst movie I have seen in a theater.
My friends and I would go to the movies every single Friday night, as we weren't exactly the popular crowd and never had anywhere else to really go. It led to us seeing some super bad movies.

Not a movie, but I went to the cinema to see Uwe Boll being interviewed. He also presented trailers of his new cinematic abortions and afterwards a few patrons tested their strength against him. Not by fighting him, but by playing a punching bag arcade game.
Wait, actually that was pretty entertaining...

Jesus an hour into Casino and you're still basically in the tutorial.
It should be Mortal Kombat Anhilation, but I was seven and actually enjoyed it at the time.
Personally though it was some horror movie called The Collector. It was incredibly stupid.

My wife and Is first date was seeing Superman Returns.
I'm surprised she returned my calls.
A few movies. The latest was Infinity War. I thought Marvel had gotten better after Black Panther. I was wrong.
Ya I hated it in theatres too but thought it was decent when I watched it again at home. It's much better than 4 and 5 for sure at least.
Exactly... How do you walk out on casino? That movie is great...
From my recollection, it'd either have to be Terminator: Salvation or Jupiter Ascending.
I'm sure I've probably seen worse (these are bad movies but pretty mild bad movies), but I can't remember right now.

Deep Impact
Only movie I ever walked out of. Can't even tell you why. I'm sure I've sat through worse but I remember just being really bored and hating every minute of it.

Having trouble remembering any movie I saw in a theatre that I disliked except for a Wrinkle in Time, but I'm absolutely sure that there were several before it that I walked out disappointed from.
But gosh that movie. Such wasted potential. And it was clear Disney expected it to be a humongous hit with audiences from how they promoted it and how it even got a place in one of those projection shows at Disney World alongside actually tested and true live action Disney movies. It was simply too mediocre to be that success though. Bad pacing, subpar acting, rather poor visual storytelling (I didn't even realize the third kid who showed up had been in the movie's intro until my mom pointed it out after I asked "how does he know these two?")... Just a mess.
I guess Fantastic Beasts was kind of middling too, but that's only on second viewing at home, I rather liked it in the theatre.

Probably a 3 way tie between Mortal Kombat Annihilation, Blair Witch Project and Batman & Robin.
That movie is a masterpiece. It has King Burt Reynolds AND ninjas! Ray Liotta playing a coked up version of himself (possibly not acting) as an evil wizard! John Rhys-Davies phoning it in for a house payment!
This was before I knew who Uwe Boll was.
It's amazing.
Probably Silent Hill Revelation. Garbage as a movie, but hot garbage as a SH fan. I'll never forget that pyramid head vs Claudia scene at the end.
A guy I worked with at the time was paid to fill a seat at the premiere.
I had another answer in mind, but you reminded me of this theater experience.
My friend and I collected and loved the cards, yet not even that love could blind me to how awful that movie was. It was just creepy and bizarre to a point I felt physically uncomfortable witnessing it. I'd like to blame it solely on the strange looking puppets, yet I enjoyed staying up to watch the equally strange puppets on Spitting Image after Saturday Night Live. I think just about everything about the GPK movie was off. Oddly, my friend enjoyed it.
I saw both Dungeons and Dragons and Battlefield Earth.
Battlefield was the worse one but I was for more disappointed with Dungeons being a big fan of the game.
