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.

“I assume that when Hilary goes to see Black Panther, theyll let her bring in her ostomy bag and her white-haired wrinkled douche bag.”
Are you referring to Blumenthal?
Cinemark owns the theater in Aurora where the mass shooting took place. You know, the one with the no guns policy. That did wonders for customer security as well.
But done under the guise of “security”.
How long before someone cries racism?
Who doesn’t enjoy being herded into convenient kill boxes where they advertise the place as being disarmed? /sarc
The last movie I went to see was The Passion of Christ, I can’t hear well so it is either too load and if not closed captioned forgetaboutit.
Agreed, but the vast majority of movie-goers aren't that clever.
No but they’d let him in too. I was referring to the ex-president Phil Landerer a.k.a. Slick Willy.
I stopped going to movies when they began charging $10 for a bag of popcorn.
Exactly. Personally, I wish no food was sold or allowed in theatres. I don't want to hear other people chomping, slurping, and crinkling wrappers while I'm trying to get lost in a movie.
And diaper bags? Kids still in diapers don't belong in a theatre. If they're not old enough to use a toilet, they're likely not old enough to be quiet.
Popcorn surprise anyone?
Microwave popcorn costs 30 cents a bag. What does theater popcorn cost?
Theater popcorn is very overpriced, but like attending a sporting event and paying $5 for a brat. Planned into the cost of the trip.
What about a latte? But I hear the lids aren’t too good on those....
Popcorn is white, you know.
The story bigger than the inflated concession prices is Americans not being able to go for more than 2 hours without eating.
Sad, but effective, that they used safety as a means to stop people bringing in food to avoid their ridiculous prices.
