I've been at the theater twice before when the Fire Department showed up. Once was a fire in the women's bathroom (most common place for theater fires apparently as women go in there to smoke then chuck the butt in the trash). Other time was a fire in the ventilation ducts.
But so far the Police had never shown up along with Fire.
Seems like a guy died during the movie I was watching...
I've got a habit of sitting through the entire movie as well as the credits. You never know what will be at the end of the credits. Or sometimes the names/credits themselves are interesting.
Anyway, as is usual most people had got up and left when the credits started so by the time they were finishing up there was almost no one left besides me. But 2 rows in front of me there was this guy who had been trying to wake someone up for the last minute or so of the credits. He didn't seem to be trying hard (only telling the guy to wake up) so I wasn't sure that he knew the guy. Credits end so I get up and start to leave. Just as I walk by the guy calls an usher over and says " I think we might have a problem". Usher asks why and he says "I can't wake him up".
By this time I've already walked past the 2 guys and need to take a leak so didn't pay too much attention to the scene other than thinking it was odd that the guy had called an usher over for someone that had fallen asleep during the movie. I just kinda wrote it off as dude was very tired and I went and took a leak.
As I exit the restroom, a pair of managers are hauling ass into the theater. Now I was wondering what was going on and getting the feeling that it wasn't a very good sign. As the managers ran into the theater another was on the phone to 911. The person on the phone had gotten more info about the situation while they were on the phone.
So I stick around for a minute to see what's up. Fire shows up first, police very shortly after. Yet neither are in any hurry to get into the theater. Which seems to me that they had probably been told that the guy was dead. A minute or so later the line of people waiting for the next show on that screen wasn't going to be let in and they were gonna have to wait.
Couple minutes after that and the Medics slowly walk out. But no one else does. Not the Police, nor the managers or the guy that was trying to wake the other guy up.
I waited around for a little bit longer and still no one had left. By this time I'd sat there for over 20 minutes watching this all go on and decided I'd had enough and that I didn't really need to see em haul out a body on a stretcher and I left. I had planned on catching a second movie after the first one. But after that I changed my mind and called it a day.
tl;dr Guy died during a showing of Split that I was watching.
