Movie Theater Accidentally Shows Paranormal Activity 4 Instead of Madagascar 3

At the Cineworld movieplex in the British town of Nottingham, a theater full of families ready to watch the kid-friendly animated adventure Madagascar 3 were instead treated to a screening of the horror film Paranormal Activity 4. Almost immediately, as many as 25 families rushed their kids out of the theater, but not before a gruesome opening sequence — in which a bloodied female corpse is thrown at the camera — was witnessed by children as young as five. “They started playing the movie and I thought – this doesn’t look right,” Natasha Lewis, mother of eight-year-old Dylan, told Yahoo UK. ”Everybody just scrambled for the exits, all you could hear were children crying and screaming. Everyone was very upset.” A clearly mortified Cineworld immediately tried to make amends. “All customers who were affected by the incident were offered refunds and complimentary tickets,” a spokesperson said.
