I use to take Suri to the movies and she never had a problem. I think it depends on the movie because I only went to one place where I knew the managers and they knew I brought her along. Plus many times we went to private screenings. She would sit up and watch and then fall asleep in my lap. If she ever acted scared or startled from the nose I would have left of course but she never made a peep. I don't think it is selfish at all that I brought her along as I made sure it was okay and I made sure she was always comfy. But then again many of the places here allow animals...
