Starting Thursday, Cinemark will not allow moviegoers to bring in large bags at its theaters.
The company says the new policy, effective Feb. 22, was put in place to “enhance the safety and security” of guests and employees. Any bags or packages measuring larger than 12″ x 12″ x 6″ will not be permitted into the theater.
The theater says while it does not provide a general area to check bags, its employees reserve the right to inspect all bags and packages entering the theater. Diaper bags and medical bags are allowed.

Translation: No more sneaking in food, so you will have to pay exorbitant prices at the snack bar.
"They could force their customers to watch the movies stark naked, for all I care."
Hump? What hump?
They don’t want people bringing their own snacks and drinks inside. That’s the real reason for this. They want you to buy from their snack bar.
Where’s the guy with the giant popcorn bag?
I assume that when Hilary goes to see “Black Panther”, they’ll let her bring in her ostomy bag and her white-haired wrinkled douche bag.
Sack of Krystals would easily fit...don’t ask me how I know that...
Perfect!
“Didn’t you use to have that on the other side?”
That’s part of it. But they should have done this many years ago. and yeah, I do sneak in food.
Popcorn sales to be unaffected. (The bags are too small.)
There are a lot of movie threads posted lately.
On almost everyone, people who admit to not going to a movie since John Wayne died comment. And they say, I wouldn’t go to a movie.
Why would you care?
you don’t need large bag to sneak in food.
RIP Marty Feldman
Diaper bags??? I’d rather ban any movie goers that might *need* to have their diaper changed. Talk about spoiling the movie!
I never understood why anyone would pay so much for snacks. As if you can’t refrain from popcorn for an hour and 20 minutes.
Movie theaters will soon go the way of Blockbuster stores. It’s much more convenient and enjoyable to watch a movie at home, eat your own snacks, lounge on the recliner and hit “pause” for a bathroom break and no one is kicking the back of your sticky seat or talking loudly.
And her hot sauce!
Wish they’d ban cell phones.
