Cinema audience wants metal detectors at the gates but will not pay extra

There are some killers who select cinema halls for shooting down innocents in cold blood like the 2012 Aurora movie hall shooting of the movie ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ in which 12 people were killed and 70 others were injured. And, more recently, the killing of at least two people and injuring nine others before the gunman killed himself in Louisiana during the screening of ‘Trainwreck’.

However, in spite of these incidents, Americans still believe that movie theaters are among the safest public places. In fact, three quarters of moviegoers say they feel extremely or very safe in a theater, according to a new study from research firm C4.
Moreover, there are certain security measures that the customers would like to see. For example - nearly believe that bags and purses should be checked for weapons before people enter a theater while 34% believe that lobbies should have armed security personnel and a metal detector.
Fourteen percent of respondents pushed for armed security in each theater.
To get to these findings, the study’s authors surveyed 250 moviegoers on July 28 and 29.
Unfortunately, they did not want to shell out more to help cover the additional costs of installing metal detectors and posting guards. The study found that only 13% of respondents said they would pay $3 more for tickets in order to get those additional security features.
