Dr. Doolittle. The Eddie Murphy travesty. Bonus: it was a first date, too. We ended up staying together for almost four years. Shared trauma I guess.
I saw Epic Movie in theaters and it's the worst movie I've ever seen. Nobody walked out but they should have.
Not a movie, but when I was dating my wife, our college had "The Fantasticks" musical that came to town. The production was so terrible I would guess that 1/3 of the audience left at intermission. This was a professional traveling group and it had to be obvious to them that so many people didn't return for the second half.
highlander 2. people threw stuff at the screen (university town)...I don't condone it, but i understood it.
Alexander. Absolutely terrible especially considering the cast and potential from a story point of view.
Absolutely. And I was so in love with a student of history/culture studies that I went in there twice with her. Our relationship failed after less then 6 months. So I endured this abomination of a movie twice and suffered from real bad heartache all within a year. Life isn't fair.
We left 3/4 of the way in of "licorice pizza", we were hoping it would pick up since reviewers said it was good, but it's just so bad.
Never walked out of a movie but the only movie I fell asleep in the theater was Shrek 3.
Alvin and the chipmunks
Tinker Tailor Solider Spy. I've never been so painfully bored at the cinema. Left after 30 minutes, which triggered a small flood of people to follow.
Quite a few times, and I've also left a bunch.
We'd have sneak peak movie nights in my local cinema on Wednesday at 10 PM for like 5 bucks, and regular showings would start from Thursday. You never knew which movie you got to see, sometimes it was a blockbuster, sometimes it was bust. That was the appeal of it though.
Occasionally they'd screen some otherwise straight to DVD movie just so that the publisher could advertise with "limited theatrical release" instead. Those were almost universally shit, and most people would leave within the first 10-20 minutes.
Edit: I'm afraid I don't really remember many titles, but one that stuck was Elephant Heart, some family drama about a neglected kid from a troubled family in Germany who was fighting his way out of the "ghetto" by joining a boxing club and turning professional. The dialogues and acting were incredibly terrible.
sneak peak
STEALTH MOUNTAIN, ATTACK!
Not "terrible" in the sense the OP meant, but when I went to see "Hard to be a God," 40 people sat down and eight made it to the end.
2 days and no one mentioned one i personally walked out on:
Weekend at bearnies 2
Wait... Weekend at Bernie's had a sequel? And it was in theaters?
I didn't see this in the theater, but if I had...
Showgirls. It was kind of a big deal when it was new because there was so much nudity and one of the stars had been in a very wholesome sitcom as a young actor. I was young enough that even though I'd heard it was awful I kinda wanted to see all that nudity, I thought how bad could it be? It was so terrible. So very terrible. The nudity couldn't begin to make up for how terrible it was.
Saw an old couple walk out after the opening credits of Swiss Army Man lol
Boogie Nights, my wife had enough of it and insisted on leaving.
I wanted to leave the art film "Burnt By the Sun" but ended up apologizing to my date (she liked arty films too). We both agreed it was so bad it was almost amusing.
I went to sleep away lacrosse camp when I was 11-12, and one night they had boogie nights on, but you needed to be 14 or up before they'd let you watch. I regarded it at the time as less movie and more pornographic spectacle. Obviously ended up watching it as I got older, and while yes, it's a bit pornographic spectacle, it's also a very well made film. Great story, great pacing, well directed.
Yes, that's all I have to offer.
Fear.com
Still better than the book.
