The movie was so bad you didn’t care how much you paid to get there/get in. You just left early.

I have not.

I have never done that because usually im going with people and I dont want to embarass them or cause a scene.

Orgasmo - A friend and I went to see this because we both like South Park, but we made it about 30 mins in.

Battlefield Earth - Wife and I walked out about half way in, we are both fans of the book it was based on.

These may not count, but...

A friend and I back in the mid-90s went to see a double feature, I can't remember the name of the film we did watch, but the second feature was The Brady Bunch Movie, I wanted to see it, but my friend didn't want to watch it.

Back in the early 80s when one of my sisters would take me with her friends
to see horror films, there was a double feature of a horror film, and Six Pack with Kenny Rogers. I can't remember what the horror film was (may have been a re release of Prom Night), her friends left before Six Pack started, I wanted to see it, but 10 mins in my sister wanted to go.

Back in '87 friends and I ended up not seeing a movie because when we got there people were walking out on a movie, some of the people asked us what we were seeing, when we told them they said they and a bunch of other audience members were trying to get their money back. That movie was Starship. From the same director who would go on to make Battlefield Earth!

Since we were there, my friends and I ended up seeing Making Mr Right, which we enjoyed.

I have walked out of a movie theater numerous times- at the end of the movie.
My parents walked out of Avatar and My Stepmother Is An Alien. My mom before she was married I think walked out of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Only once. Cruising (1980). The violence was too disturbing for me as I recall.

Another time, a person I was with walked out of the movie Looking for Mr. Goodbar also due to the violence.
