Her kids were the only ones in that particular showing of Endgame, but when she left there were other families in the theater, so she thought it was fine. That showing was also on the schedule, so the theater knew it had to finish before closing up. When she got back though the theater was locked and no one was around.
“Nobody was in there,” Huff said. “I couldn’t get inside, and it was completely dark. I was terrified. I didn’t know what to do at first. I thought maybe the theater had called the police to come and pick up my kids.”
She was about to call the police but thankfully her kids came running out of the dark. As for how this happened, AMC doesn’t really have any answers yet. Huff filed a complaint with AMC guest services, and the representative for AMC Theaters said there wasn’t anything they could do.
“I do apologize for the inconvenience and the traumatic experience,” the message from AMC Theatre Support said. “Upon further view of your account, I could not access any further recollection of the purchase. Therefore, there is nothing I can do on my end.”
When AMC Theaters was contacted by the Des Moines Register, they didn’t offer a comment, though they did say they are addressing the incident.
