what if you could Get loud for the things you love?-
Alamo Drafthouse has built a reputation for a zero-tolerance policy.
In a pursuit of quality, they have gotten pretty intense about their no-talking rules. “We'll kick you out, promise. We’ve got backup.”
What started as a zero-tolerance policy meant to preserve a sense of respect, has turned into a culture where passion is punished.
-
When you silence the audience, you silence the magic that makes a movie theater unforgettable.
Whether it's the stranger next to you laughing just as hard or the audible gasps, sometimes loud reactions aren’t a distraction. They are actually the magic of the movie experience.
“A rowdy theater for the right movie is a joy. Or when I attended a sold out showing of RRR, all the "holy shits" and "what the fucks" just made it way more awesome.”

Alamo Drafthouse was built on a simple mission:
Good food. Good beer. Good film.
But in a pursuit of quality, they have built a reputation for a zero-tolerance policy.
“Occasionally, someone doesn't follow the rules, and we do, in fact, kick their asses out of our theater.

When you silence the audience, you silence the magic that makes movie theater unforgettable.
Because for many people, it’s not just what’s on the screen that stays with us. It’s the collective reaction.

“One of my favorite movie-going experiences was seeing the 40-Year-Old Virgin with a friend of mine who is LOUD. His hysterical, booming laughter made the entire movie funnier.”
“And of course, no talking!”
Alamo Drafthouse Code of Conduct
“All the laughs, all the surprises, the shock, the fear, the tears will start and finish in the same room. And if you want to truly enjoy the movie, then you'll have to fully open yourself and be able to release all your feelings without shame, despite the strangers around you.”
