Seems like the thing that has to get across, and is short, simple, and ready for sound bites, is that criminals are the only ones "allowed" to carry guns at these places. Maybe just 10-15 people, standing around with big signs that say something like:
"CRIMINALS: please enter freely with weapons.
VICTIMS (law abiding citizens): disarm before entering."

or...
"CRIMINALS: enter freely with weapons. AMC theatres guarantees you undefended victims inside. Have a nice day"

In fact, I've thought of having a bumper sticker type thing made to stick underneath any 30.06 sign I see. Think of it... here's the 30.06 language (english only):
"Pursuant to Section 30.06, Penal Code (trespass by holder of license to carry a concealed handgun), a person licensed under Subchcapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code (concealed handgun law), may not enter this property with a concealed handgun."
My sticker would read: "Criminals are free to proceed armed as usual." I'd just stick that underneath the 30.06 sign. Wonder if it would have the desired effect. Funny that even the 30.06 sign specifically restricts ONLY CHL holders. What a world.

Could you get in trouble for such a sticker? Or... realistically, are you likely to?

"All 200 of us and our families are part of the local CHL fraternity, and we met here to go to the movie together. Would you happen to know where the next closest non-AMC move theatre might be?"

Let's say we gather a couple of hundred CHL holders armed with NO GUNS - NO MONEY cards. On a busy, high-dollar night, we line up at the ticket windows, move very slowly, engage in long, tedious conversations with the ticket clerk, then finally ask for 2 to 6 tickets to a predetermined movie. When asked to pay, say, "Uh Oh... you're posted 30.06. As a CHL holder, I refuse to spend my money at businesses that would disarm me." Hand him/her your 'card' and walk away.

This could be a fun night out a couple of times a month!
