Right2carry,
I totally agree with the training and flashlight. The flashlight has already come in handy when we lost electricity in the theater a few months ago. It felt good to be prepared. The lady with the nice purse has more than just a tube of lipstick. Lol.
We find ourselves people watching, especially since we get there early. We have a family emergency password that we have discussed with the kids and using it in the movie theater scenario. My concern is the best location to sit. Back up against the wall at the top or near the exit? Colorado shooter came in from the exit. Louisiana shooter exited, saw cops and came back inside and started shooting again.

For me the experience just isn't worth the annoyance of talkers, seat kickers, and those who arrive late and want everyone to accommodate them so they can sit together. I would rather watch it in my TV for a whole let less and eat better food in a relaxed atmosphere.

I would add: Spend a LOT of time at the range and get to where you make precision shots at 25 yards and beyond with the most powerful, highest capacity gun you can carry. Get the most powerful hand held light you can find and hold it away from your body. I would sit near emergency exits because you want to get outside, not stuck in the shooting gallery. IF the worst happens, remember that the best way to handle an ambush if you can't immediately get away, is to attack the ambusher and stay low. The military calls it, "violence of action."

With the money you saved, you can have an AR-15 next to your recliner and a load bearing vest with 10 full 30 round mags. Sit back in your own home and relax. You're prepared for almost anything. This last is a joke, obviously and the previous paragraph is for those who have trained to take that action. We encourage our extended family to join us for an evening's entertainment at home. I just have no desire to be around any more firefights.
