One notable instance of this trend occurred at The Springs Cinema & Taphouse in Sandy Springs, Georgia, where the theater shared footage of the aftermath on social media and contacted law enforcement due to the chaos. Theater employee Alexi Alvear described the cleanup as taking three hours. Director Jared Hass found the antics amusing and emphasized the joy audiences are experiencing.
