The short answer is yes. I work as a data and electrical engineer. and we do a lot of work in cinemas all over the country and many times i have had to enter theatres to check on wiring problems or to see if the exit lights are operating etc and the film is running but nobody is watching it.Apparently one of the reasons is due to the people paying for the advertising slots which is ironic if you think about it.
Hope this helps

I went to see a movie the other day, although now I can't even remember what it was. Anyway, I got there just as it was starting and there was no one else in there, so I'm pretty sure it would have still been showing even if I hadn't been there.

no. we went to see a film and only four people showed up so we were given our money back. for insurance and cost etc they need to have a minimum audience as far as i know, in certain cinemas anyway.
