![]() The Vue cinema chain said it was still welcoming all customers to see the film, which had been “incredibly popular” over the opening weekend. Similar incidents have been reported across the UK.Īn ODEON spokesperson responded to the incident saying: “Due to a small number of incidents in our cinemas over the weekend we have had to restrict access in some circumstances.” “Looking too smart for the cinema? Welcome to 2022.” A furious mom has condemned her local cinema after it banned her son from seeing the new ‘minions’ film – because his friend was in a shirt. “I guess they never felt to put it in their website at the point of sell, so that children would waste their money on the bus ticket. Parents have since posted pictures of the sign online, with one writing on Facebook: “My youngest son was refused entry to ODEON Cinemas in Bath for wearing a shirt and tie. Sadly, Charlie wasn’t able to go and see the movie as a result – but Clare did manage to convince staff to install a sign informing parents about the ban. “If they’d been disruptive and called me to say they’d been kicked out, I wouldn’t have minded, but they weren’t even allowed in.”Īfter returning to the cinema Clare spoke to the manager.ĭespite saying she would go and buy her son’s friend a t-shirt to wear, staff still said they wouldn’t let them attend the viewing because they’d ‘seen his face now’. “So I was just perplexed at why they didn’t just say the same to young kids in shirts like my son’s friend who just wanted to see the film and not cause trouble. “A group of older lads turned up who weren’t in suits, and the security guards warned them that if they caused trouble they’d remove them. To not even give them a chance to come in was just stupid and unnecessary. One parent alleged online that teens had been ‘clapping, fake crying and swearing’ during the viewing.Īfter being told to leave, Charlie and his friends tried to cover up their friend’s shirt with a jumper but were again denied because staff could see ‘a bit of shirt hanging out.’Ĭlare added: “The boys were only 11 to 12 years old. ODEON Bath says that the ban on suits came after a group of boys disrupted a viewing on the evening of Friday, July 1, while wearing suits. There was no sign, even though you’d think they’d have one to cover their backs, nor anything on their website.” ![]() “It was just stupid because there was no warning. He didn’t own one so he didn’t – though one friend wore a shirt. ![]() He had mentioned that he wanted to wear a suit to me. “I’d not heard anything about this TikTok trend. “He explained that they’d walked in and been told they couldn’t see the film because one of them was in a shirt. I dropped them off at the door of the cinema, and then Charlie rang me not long after saying that they’d been kicked out.
