Study Says Audiences Want Metal Detectors in Movie Theaters
Three quarters of moviegoers say they feel extremely or very safe in a theater, according to a new study from research firm C4.
Although they feel secure, there are certain security measures that customers support. Nearly a third of moviegoers believe that bags and purses should be checked for weapons before people go into a theater, and 34% believe that lobbies should have armed security personnel and a metal detector. Fourteen percent of respondents pushed for armed security in each theater, the report found.
