They're all the same price so why wouldn't they start them at the same time? Over the holidays the whole family's over and there's children to adults and we can't find a time where everyone can watch a movie they want to see/is appropriate.

It is so the lobby is not over crowded

Because while you are there simply to enjoy a movie, the entire theater is part of someone's job. They need time to clean theaters. If they played them all at once, you could see 1 movie, then everything would be closed for an hour (or more) while they cleaned the entire theater. The different showing times give the employees time to clean, switch movie reels, make new popcorn.... things like that while other movies are still going on.

They schedule them backwards from the end of the day so they end close to the same time at the end of the day. Also movies are different time lengths and there is a cleanup time in between movies too.

lol poor babies. maybe you should have all gone to the same movie.
I dont know why the earlier movies start different times, but the later ones depend on how long the movie was.

They started doing this when theaters became multiplex so that there weren't great big crowds and lineups at the snack bars.

Also, the multiplexes want to discourage you from buying a ticket to one movie, watching it, and sneaking into another.
