Weirdly enough the movies I've been to with the most audible walk-outs were all good films:
Exotica
Salo
Schindler's list
I think two of them just got too much for people and the other one had them worried they'd wind up on a list.
~~Atlas Shrugged,~~ Cloud Atlas, I think the one with Tom Hanks. Thought it might be an interesting movie because of the title and Tom Hanks, but I could tell within the first five minutes it was nothing but propaganda. I saw a couple other people leaving along with me.
Not really related but one time I went to a movie showing and no one else was there. Two individuals came in at separate times and sat on both sides of me right next to me and I was so uncomfortable at this situation I left. In hindsight it was a horror movie and maybe they were too nervous to see it alone but it's often on my mind.

Only movie I walked out of. I wasn't the only one.
I remember David Cronenberg once saying in an interview that when Crash screened at Cannes, there were times you couldn’t hear the movie over the sound of people storming out.
Across the universe.... like half of the theatre walked out. It truly was a piece of shit movie.
A guy in the row in front of me exasperatedly said ' I did the wrong damn drugs for this shit' as he walked out.
My ex GF made us leave in the middle of LOTR: Return of the King.
She is my ex for unrelated reasons.
Oh, I should also mention the last live action Tarzan that had a Skarsgard in it: It was a train wreck lol
My wife, son and I walked out of Will Ferrell's "Holmes and Watson". Terrible.
Tree of Life (2011)
I was into weird movies at the time, and still am, so I went alone to some small theater that was showing it. A few people walked out in the middle of the movie because after a full hour, nothing noteworthy actually happened. At the end of the movie when the lights went on (and still nothing actually happened the whole movie) everyone who was still there looked around in confusion and just started leaving. I had no answers either.
For me it was the Assassin's Creed movie... Imo, that movie even makes Eragon look like a fucking Oscar winner
What dirt did they have on Michael Fassbender to make him accept that movie.
Watched a ton of people exit Battlefield Earth. Two granny aged women sitting near me walked out of Wolf of Wall Street once Jonah Hill pulled his dick out (in the film, not in the theater)
