Movies You've Fallen Asleep Watching in Theaters

I distinctly remember falling asleep to Natalie Portmans 'Jackie'. Its a great film I was just tired as fuck amd had to power through it.
I made the mistake of doing the 7 movie Star Wars marathon leading up to Episode 7 premiere. I think I ended up sleeping through most of Episode 4. Woke the hell up during the beginning of episode 5 because how damn bright Hoth is in a dark theater. Then fell asleep again during the Dagobah portion. Was mostly awake for ROTJ mostly because it was finally almost time to see the new one.
I love Star Wars, but that marathon was a mistake. I don't think I'd ever do that again. I just couldn't stay awake for that much continued viewing with little break between movies.
I've also fallen asleep during the second movie of a drive-in a few times. Iron Man 3 was one of them, but it was my 3rd viewing & didn't really fight it. Suicide Squad was another 2nd half of a Drive In I fell asleep during.

Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow
If we can count my couch I fell asleep watching Akira too

I was very disappointed since I'm both a Burton and a Wonderland fan. =/ Honestly barely remember what it's about, but I did nearly fell asleep during it. Only saw the movie that one time.
Alien Covenant.
I got drunk on sake in the theater because I knew I was gonna hate the movie and I wanted to at least enjoy it somewhat. Terrible movie and all 9 of my friends that saw it with me hated it. I fell asleep during the action-y parts with the alien because they were so boring and honestly bogged down the movie.

Star Wars Episode 1.
Partly because I was around 7 years old, it was a late showing and we had a long drive to even get to the cinema, plus it had an intermission in the middle of it...

I mean...yeah, it's pretty obvious nobody goes to a movie with the intention of falling asleep. I didn't imply that anybody did that in my post.
I just personally don't go to the cinema if I'm even remotely tired, and I basically only go to movies I'm interested in. I guess people who go to a bunch of films that they aren't actually interested in might be more inclined to fall asleep.
My sister loved it and bought it when it hit bluray. So I tried again, but just ended up turning it off. I just couldn't do it.
A very popular military movie whose name escapes me...Would've been between 2003-2005. Got stoned with some friends beforehand, and movie was just boring and also extremely long. Just stupid teenager at the time.
Edit- Black Hawk Down

One of the LoTR movies, and one of the Transformers movies. I think it was because I was smoking a lot of pot at the time, more than the flick(s) being a snoozer.
Managed to finally do that for the first Hobbit movie. Wanting to watch the thing in"high" fps and undubbed left me with only one showing in the middle of the week in the evening. I was just tired and struggled to keep the eyes open.
Went again the following week to watch it properly, only to have it happened again. -.-

Never did but apparently my brother fell asleep during the last Transformers movie, which is amazing considering how loud and noisy it was.
I've never fallen asleep at a theater and I dont understand how this happens. If you're that tired why did you go to the movies? Do you suffer from narcolepsy? small attention span? Presumably if you're at a theater you were at least somewhat excited about the movie. If you don't like it leave and ask for your money back.
Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Without question the most boring movie I have ever seen.
I was struggling so hard to stay awake with this one myself. I adored the first movie too, but this one too literally put me to sleep. (I kept phasing in and out of slumber, probably was out cold for about 30m total, but the rest was just a bloodshot daze struggling to keep my eyes open).
Only other one that comes to mind for me is Ultraviolet. Good god what a terrible movie and I was out cold for most of it.
Inception - Didn't like it on my first viewing. Relatives loved the movie and wanted to see it twice. Fell asleep for a bit during the middle.
Rogue One - Was tired after a long day at Disney World when I decided to see the first showing opening night. Dozed off during some of the slower moments.

Serendipity - I like John Cusak but I was dragged there on a date after working a 12 hour open to close shift. I remember something about mittens or gloves and the rest is blank.
Batman vs Superman - I feel bad about this one. I really didn't hate the movie. In fact I've rewatched a couple times now and enjoy it. I blame it on the pills I was taking at the time.

This is the only one for me. I skipped school to go to see that and ended up falling asleep about an hour in.
I broke my foot and took a bunch of Vicodin for the pain before watching Team American. I slept through the whole thing.
I've never fallen asleep during a movie or left to use the bathroom. Once I'm in, I'm in. The gf sleeps during movies all of the time, though.
HOWEVER... I did rest my eyes a nonzero amount of times when watching The Hateful Eight during its Roadshow run. I felt awful about it, but I'd been awake for over 24 hours, but luckily I didn't miss a beat :>

Maybe it's because movie tickets are shockingly expensive where I live, but I've never fallen asleep at the movies and I doubt I ever will. If I'm going to cough up $19 AUD (that's $15 USD) to see a movie, I'm going to be awake for every single frame.
The only movie I've ever fallen asleep during was Snow White and the Huntsman (2012). What a bad/boring movie.
Off the top my head I've only fallen asleep in a few movies. I think one of them was the Clash of the Titans remake, and also the first two Hobbit movies. Considering I fell asleep both times I have no idea why I went back and saw the third one lol (or the second one for that matter). I might have actually fallen asleep during the third one too but I can't remember for sure
Force Awakens. I slepth through about 20 minutes and woke shortly before the major character's death. I still haven't seen the full movie
This was the only time I've ever fallen asleep in cinemas. I honestly don't know why. I managed to stay awake through a lot worse movies

Harry potter and Half Blood Prince
It was because i watched the movie 3 hours right after a flight.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt 1... went with my now fiancee to see the movie when it first came out. I only went to see it so I could spend some time with her since we were just dating back then. Woke up around the part to when Doby died and thought to myself "he dead? oh well." I was surprised when I found out that she had the same reaction as well lol.
New recliner style chairs and a movie that you are not invested in
Lol I don't quite understand why the notion of falling asleep in a dark movie theater is shocking.
Is falling asleep during movie theater outings akin to missing the second coming of Christ?
It's just a fucking movie.
