If it was an analysis that would be correct, but it's a study based on viewers review made from UK website. So mostly UK voters. This surely doesn't count here. About the image, it was from the link posted at top of article: http://webserver2.kncc.com/onscreenads.php?rec=5 but it seems to have been taken off or something now.

In any Cinema, when a movie is about to start, look around you at the people in the theatre and look how concentrated on the screen, so the point is valid, meaning everyone (or actually 96%)are not distracted when watching a movie. Now if u see that people are distracted DURING the movie, that is something else and here the analysis do not apply. I have a question to you though, where did you get that image from?

My friend also told me the movie was shredded to pieces... so he was not happy! Counting ppl opinion here so far, it's 7 unhappy vs 1 happy. So it's like 12.5% of movie-goers are no-distracted at Kuwait movies. Thats without counting people I spoke to about it, which would add 2 unhappy at least. So it would be like, 90% of Kuwait movie-goers are already distracted at movies, so why not disturb them with ads as well :P Hashimoto: Thanks for your feedback.

I just tend to cant wait to see cartoons (I like ur thinking :). Like today kids wanted to spoil Coraline for instance. UP might be an exception for me as well. Political movie, yes. it was about illegal immigrants to US. One muslim girl with hjab, her two brothers are kind free type. So later on, US decides to deport her only. When she asks why her only while her brothers are staying, and immigrant lady wants to answer, this whole part is censored. Film my friend told me was like 3 stories in one film, so they kinda trimmed 1/3 of it. I can get you movie name if you like. MBH: Yeah, that’s what I do.

I stopped going a few years back, except once or twice for a cartoon. In fact, I stopped going right after going to the movie "Van Hellsing" -- they cut most of the fight scenes, and even the talk scene where the two main characters are talking about the plot of the movie!!! I think Cinescape cuts some movies that are displayed after 12AM to reduce the time. My current policy: Friend: DUDE! YOU HAVE TO SEE MOVIE XYZ! Me: Oh? Was it that good? Great! I'll wait for the DVD. If everyone boycotts the movies for a week to show a point, then MAYBE they'd change. --- They cut a political scene? Seriously? The movie is uncut in the US, and is cut here? ROFL!!! Cinescape can go to hell for all I care, along with the noisy morons that go to it, too.

I dont know about the ticket price honestly, but the snacks... 400 fils for Maltesers! ripoff! Ofcourse they say technically door is open for competition... but in reality, is it? momo: LOL... yeah, 6% is kinda believable. And now that we're at it, I can say from a STUDY i made by asking public opinion, 75% of Kuwait Cinema visitors are distracted during movie, and that's excluding my self. OUCH!!!

Also one of the most disappointing factors about cinemas in Kuwait is that they're ridiculously overpriced compared to other places such as the US and Canada. Well said…

Laughing crowd in a comedy movie is a definite plus. being among crowd watching the movie closely is also better feeling, but laughing in a horror movie, or making comments during an action movie, thats what distracting. People going in and out to refill their pepsi and popcorn supplies, little kids bored at Pursuit if Happyness film, this is +18 film not for kids! And yes, I do admit i get easily distracted when watching a movie I love. But hey, isnt that why people pay to go to cinema... to enjoy it without distractions? It's responsibility of the cinema company to ensure it. crowd comments are hard to stop, but babies in +18 movies... that can't be explained! Marzouq: Thanks. Yes you're right about crowd. But it still affects the claimed 96%. Does the VIP really gets you away? Maybe I should try it for big movies. My only fear is, I will pay 10-20 KD to watch it, and one guy is enough to ruin it all!

I have to agree with most of the points. There are things they can beheld accountable for, but one part is the Kuwaiti population in a whole is extremely discourteous to the other people in the cinema and I see this in any large theater, in the VIP you can get away with things.

To be honist distractions are minimum, but may be this is related to how I personally perceive it. I'm usually distracted at home much more, and even if I do, I still enjoy the film. It's one out of a hundred films that the film is so intense and fast that I have to be alert on every second to understand every thing. After all, do we really understand every thing until the we see it for the second time. In some cases distraction can be a plus, such as crowd laughing in a comedy film, believe it or not can make us more excited and tempted to laugh. After all part of the pleasure of going to cinema, is just being among the crowd. As silly and du*b as It sounds, I find it true!! I usually sit on with family in the middle of the few last lines.
