Going out to the movies is pretty pricey. You've got tickets, popcorn, candy, drinks, nachos, and hot dogs for your group - plus parking. After you've paid what seems like three months' worth of salary just to be entertained, you get to sit down and spend half an hour of your time watching previews.
By the time the actual movie starts, you have a lot invested into this experience. It has to take just the right kind of bad movie under some pretty specific circumstances to get someone to throw all that away and leave the theater before the film finishes. These people did just that.

Oh, I remember vividly. It was Battlefield Earth. The shot angles kept being tilted this way and that for no reason and I started tilting my head so that things would be level. Then my friend joined in. Then we simultaneously were like “are we going to cramp our necks for THIS?” And walked out.

As Roger Ebert put it, “The director, Roger Christian, has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why.”

Jack and Jill with Adam Sandler. Normally I like his movies but not only was Jack and Jill his worst movie ever, I think it might be the worst movie I've ever seen in my life.
From Redditor u/GoGoSoLo:
Hilariously, one time on Survivor they made the reward from a reward challenge getting to see an early screening of Jack and Jill. Reactions varied wildly, and all I could think about was how they were torturing these poor starving people by foisting this Sandler steaming pile of sh*t on them.

Holmes & Watson. My family really enjoyed Step Brothers and Talladega Nights. So I [shuttled] the 5 of us to the movies on Christmas Day because for some reason the cinemas were open and it was showing and we don't really do big celebrations. 15 minutes into the movie we all looked at each other like… wtf is this. I tried to leave… I went to ask for a refund because their policy said you can get a refund 30 minutes into the movie. But we were 5 minutes late because of the 20 minute trailers.
I'm still seething about spending $100 to basically die of boredom for an hour and a half. I was sitting there embarrassed about suggesting the family outing. My family stuck it out because I'd paid for it and couldn't get a refund even though I told them I didn't care and begged to leave.

Epic Movie. Wasn't epic at all.
From Redditor u/burlybroad:I remember seeing a review that called it “the movie equivalent of a tapeworm.”

From Redditor u/thespookyonetwo:
As a fan of the original animated series, I was excited to see a live-action adaptation, but the movie was a huge disappointment. The acting was wooden, the script was clunky, and the special effects were underwhelming. I made it about halfway through the movie before I decided that my time was better spent doing something else.
From Redditor u/stickdudeseven:The only good thing that this film brought were the comments roasting it. "I watched this on a plane and walked out."

From Redditor u/darshvader1:
Man did this movie have a great premise as a potential funny comedy. But out of nowhere it turned into some weird political love story. I remember in the middle of this movie audibly saying out loud “where the f*ck is this story going." I don’t know how you screw this up but they did.
From Redditor u/theMistersofCirce:
Legitimately one of the worst movies I've ever seen, like offensively so. I stayed for the whole damn thing because I kept hoping it would redeem itself somehow, and by the time it ended I was the most furiously angry I think I've ever been after sitting in a nice comfy theater with popcorn.
