i mean…even without with guardians, though? i may be interpreting it wrong, but I also didn’t ever really see the crowd of kids Bowtie attracted.

honestly, it makes me not wanna go past 7:30 as a young-looking adult…especially if the staff is checking IDs on anyone they think may be under 17. I’m also just super fucking lazy, though.

edit: i fucked up wording, totally meant WITH guardians.

I've experienced it enough that I will never go back to Bowtie.

Parents were coming in with kids, dumping them off, then leaving

just weird that they implemented a blanket ban instead of requiring the kids to be with adults, to me. I’m sure there are well mannered kids who would like to enjoy a post-sundown date there or something during the summer. or even parents who want to go out for a movie with their kid, at that time; considering there are working parents that get off at 6:30-7ish. I’m approaching semantic territory, but I definitely see this affecting sales to an extent—could be wrong!

They bring the kids in then dump them off. Monitoring chaperons? Seeing if they’re with an adult? That’s a lot of work and monitoring. Blanket ban easier

You can make sure a chaperoning adult is present when the ticket is torn. You don't have to monitor hallways. Just "Did an adult go into the theater with the minor".

But I mean there are plenty of other theaters teens can go to. If parents want to dump kids at a Regal theater, they are welcome to.
