You'd be surprised in the willful ignorance of others. I remember when I saw the first Silent Hill movie there were two babies crying at certain points. This was a late showing, but still.
It's sad that theaters don't care about this. I am guessing that they fear they'll lose business if they turn down people bringing babies and small children to movies (I am not counting children's movies in this following point because obviously that is expected), but what they fail to realize that even a trashy person that uses their cell phone the whole time, put their feet on other peoples seat in front of them, and adds his or her own commentary loudly to the movie doesn't want to hear a baby or child cry or be disruptive in any way. I'm not some Grinch that think no children should even be in theaters except for kid's films, but they really, really shouldn't allow kids to be at late showings for PG-13 stuff and above honestly. That's never going to happen, though.
Then again, it was hilarious to hear a new generation of children freak out at Jurassic Park when it was in theaters again in 2013.
