Judge Allows Nighttime Movie Bans on Young Children
A Detroit judge ruled two theaters acted properly in banning children under six from late shows, overturning a civil rights department finding. Judge Deborah A. Thomas said theaters must balance audience comfort with parental concerns, noting no rewind button for disruptions. The case stemmed from complaints at Northwest Theater in Detroit and Ford-Tei Theater in Dearborn Heights over noisy young patrons and diapers in seating areas.
