goo Ranking asked their panellers what behaviours by their date at the movies would ruin the mood.

Demographics

Between the 2nd and 5th of May 2013 1,088 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 50.2% of the sample were male, 23.3% in their teens, 24.4% in their twenties, 25.5% in their thirties, and 26.8% in their forties; there was no-one older than 49 in this sample. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.

Looking at number 9=, it would seem to be relatively acceptable to fall asleep for a little bit? Funnily enough, even though I go to the cinema about once every two months and am often rather tired, I?ve never actually fallen asleep, even at times when I wanted to. I can however manage to fall asleep at live musical theatre where I?ve paid much more money for a seat that is usually less comfortable than the average cinema one.
