Movies Theater Safety issues have been a high concern over the last decade. No one honestly thought that people could possibly get hurt during a movie and in a movie theater, a place where many families come in together. There have been others issues that have come with this primary issue, such as gun control, mental ability, and security.

To start off, all movies theaters have several safety procedures they need to go through. They are to check big bags that come into the theater and sometimes let the moviegoers leave their bag at the front desk for safety. This is used to prevent individuals from mostly bringing in food but can also stop people from bringing in unwanted items, such as guns or anything that could be used to hurt someone. To better this procedure, all theaters should make it a priority to check every bag or state that bags over a certain size are prohibited from coming in. As well as, provide an alternate space for bags such as the front desk. This will allow people to have a safe space for bags that they didn't realize where not allowed and feel safe.

Theaters also play a safety video before commercials and sometimes right before a movie. This is a very vital way of sharing critical information quickly and efficiently. I would also suggest putting signs or flyers about that shared information in bathroom stalls and around the building. Sometimes people miss the first couple of minutes of a movie so by having flyers around the building, people's eyes will eventually catch the information and is prepared just in case.

For the moviegoers, finding and establishing a potential escape route before each movie can better prepare you for possible future incidents. By staying alert and using common sense, they will be able to think calmly and quickly if a situation were to arise.

To continue, changing actual laws will be difficult to do. Movie theaters and movie theaters companies can do the best they can on their own but can also inform their government and explain the dangers and issues that have arisen and fight for a change. They have the experience first-hand of the potential hazards that can come to be in a theater and can work towards finding helpful solutions to a significant public safety problem

Movie theater owners and employees should establish a safety plan and have frequent drills to better understand the situation and be prepared if anything were to happen. Managers should talk to employees and have a setting where employees could come speak to managers or those in charge to better relay their concerns and ideas for better safety precautions. It starts with the employees and eventually will come down to how they are to react and carry out the situation. By having ready and active employees, moviegoers can better experience movie theaters and feel that they are secured.

It sucks that a place that also seemed safe is now a potential danger. People went to theaters to enjoy a movie and have with their friends and families. That has now been ruin by the shootings and incidents that have happened in the past years. We need to better understand and find solutions to help lower the incident rate and take movie theaters back to their true meaning, to bea place filled with wonder and imagination. It should be a place where people can get inspired, have fun and learn important lessons.
