Regal Theaters, the US’s largest theater chain, began testing devices in 25 of its locations that allow patrons to summon ushers if audience members use cell phones or become unruly. Michael Campbell, CEO, said that a second button will notify management of faulty projection, a third about uncomfortable room temperature, and a fourth about any other problem. He said that he expects the device to be available nationwide next year and that it will be given to “mature” audience members, who will receive free popcorn for their efforts.
Watch people start abusing this new power.
