So, news of this movie has that it's been splitting people. Some like it, some hate it. Therefore the news about theatre walk outs has been hitting the news, and my theatre certainly had them.
About 40 minutes in a family of three walked out. Then, about 30 minutes later, another two left. I've never seen that before, but I don't go to the movies a lot. I really enjoyed the film, so the intent of this thread is not to pass judgement on the movie.

I feel the main problem is that while there is much to admire about the film it overstates its case. At a certain point you want to say "Okay I get it - can we move on please?' People probably left the cinema simply because the film was way too long for its subject matter - and by that I mean what Amy Jump did with the original text. It's far from being best adaptation of J.G. Ballard's work.

One couple walked out, probably about 1.5 hrs in.
I liked it quite a bit but can definitely understand people hating it. It probably shouldn't be showing in mainstream cinemas, it's not for casual film fans at all.
That is a masterpiece of understatement. -

Why would you walk out? You already paid for it so might as well finish the damn thing. It's not like you're going to be in the theater for 10 hours. You know that you're going to see a movie so even before you paid, you've already allotted ~2 hours for the movie.

It's also a matter of principle
Also, if you plan to eat a chocolate, buy it, but after you unwrap it you see that it's rotten, you wouldn't still eat it because you've already paid and you've already planed/allotted the time to eat it, right?
