I've been to many, and those precautions are only taken some of the time, and when they are, they're usually pretty weakly enforced. I've only been to two screenings where it was taken very seriously and everyone was wanded before being able to enter the theater, and those were for screenings that occurred at least a month before the movie's actual release date. Most of the time, they simply tell you you're not allowed to bring a phone or recording device in to the theater, and if you have one on you, to either put it in your car or give it to the people sitting at a table outside the theater for you to pick up again when you leave. The thing is, they don't take any measures to make sure you actually don't have anything on you when you go in. The most they do at a lot of screenings is just ask you if you have a cellphone, and if you just say no they'll let you in, no questions asked. Also, typically the closer a screening is to the movie's release date, the more lax they are about checking people. So I imagine it wouldn't be difficult at all for someone to bring in a recording device in to any of the many screenings that have been happening recently. |

I can't believe people are actually trying to pirate the film. That's terrible! |

"There's something you must remember when riding a dragon. There's no manual, no safety harness, no guarantees when you're on one of these beasts. All you have is the wind in your hair, and the clothes on your back. The only thing between you and that dragon is your saddle. You need to hold onto it for dear life, as that creature takes you the skies. That, is dragon riding." | |

Where I live; they aren't really strict. (I live in the US), or at least at my one theater they aren't. We don't get checked for cell phones or anything that can record that movie. We don't even have guards in the theater, like those theater people who kick people out or whatever for disturbing the others viewings of that movie. I've seen a person go to the man lobby and complain about these three teenagers throwing popcorn at the bottom lane, though. ;-; I've also seen someone record on their phone and reported them. xP Person got in trouble...I just wish that people wouldn't pirate! It's soooo annoying! |

That's the reason why I made this Tumblr post a few week ago: http://zer0x1.tumblr.com/post/870324617 ... te-dragons But it seems like not everyone in the fandom agreed with this opinion. Such TS/CAM rips come mostly from eastern countries like russia, the cinemas don't care much about anti-piracy and hiding a camera isn't realy hard, it could be in a pen or with google glasses, no one would notice that in a dark cinema, the same with microphones. In some countries they don't even have the digital protection in which the projector emits energy fashes in spectrum the human eye do not notice, but it would blind the camera. Maybe that's just a myth, but I've learned that nearly all cinemas have this protection. |

That's actually quite brilliant. I didn't know they did that. You just need to blast the screen with IR light and it will completely prevent the camera from recording anything watchable. |

That person most likely isn't really even a fan ZerOx. |

Eh, wish it was compulsory, everywhere. I used to go to advanced screenings for journalists and it happened several times that they took the phones before the screening and gave them back afterwards. Well, I bought my tickets for Dragons in advance - a thing I haven't done in the past 15 years - and I'm planning on watching it for a second time (unless it's total crap - but we all know it won't be). We also have a huge pile of dragon books and some other dragon merchandise, so I do everything to express my gratitude for making the movies and the series :-) |

This is the first movie I ever bought pre-screening tickets for. It's worth it. |

Yeah, me and the kiddo went crazy when we found out about the UK pre-screenings, I bought the tickets literally 2 minutes later :-) |
