It really shouldn't. We've explained it tons of times in this thread.
Again, several explanations offered throughout the thread.
Is it that hard to imagine that a movie just might be boring?

My mind can't comprehend it.

Haha, ok.
I've fallen asleep while watching movies or friends have but it's like 2am and it's in my house. But in public, at a movie theatre, yea that hasn't happened to me or friends that I know of, it's just weird to me. But thanks for being you.

A person says they fell asleep because they didn't sleep the night before.
And your response is "my mind can't comprehend that".
What else is there to say?
I really don't get why these passive digs are necessary. Even if you weren't in the theater almost everyone has fallen asleep watching something. Why the sudden "you're the weird ones" because it happened in a bigger room.
The most noteworthy instance of a movie that I slept through was Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
I think I slept through almost an hour of it in the middle - waking up for the noteworthy combat/battle sequences towards the end.

It looks like it's just people who find falling asleep in public weird. Make sure y'all don't pass out on bus ride home you guys. And especially international flights.

Only movie I ever fell asleep in the theater for was the third star wars prequel. At some point I just gave up and closed my eyes. Woke up to a fight surfing in lava and went back to sleep again.
I subscribe to the Abbas Kiarostami belief that sleeping during a movie isn't a bad thing and some of the best movies just make you wanna snooze. I'm a very sleepy person in general though, so of course I support this.
Uh, last one I remember dozing off during was The Handmaiden, which is an amazing movie that became even more atmospheric when I woke up a couple minutes later and had another chunk of missing info to puzzle through on top of the other 20 puzzles going on in that thing.

Most recently Ghost In The Shell. Was on vacation, and holy shit do you Americans have some comfy ass seats. It was far too easy to nod off.
Transformers 4. Action scenes were so visually cluttered my eyes just tapped out for a few seconds.
The revenant is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. Been up 26 hours and was a little drunk. Got about 20-30 mins in and just crashed. Really a shame too because I really liked the book. Never have gotten around to watching it again for whatever reason.
Skyfall and Dark Knight Rises. Skyfall was boring, DKR was good. I missed the scene where Bats climbs out of the pit :( I was so mad at myself
Yo the people acting like it's weird as fuck to pass out in a dark ass room in a giant comfy seat when you're dead tired watching something that might have ended up boring are killing me. I didn't know a subject such as this could create a superiority complex lmao. Hey it happens, I passed right out halfway through the second Hobbit movie. It was a long week, had already scheduled to see it with friends, thought I could make it, and my eyes had other plans. Shit happens.
I fell asleep during The Emperor's New Groove and Shin Godzilla because they were late shows and I was on antihistamines.
I fell asleep during Prince of Persia because it had been a long day and that movie is boring as all hell.
That's 3 out of like a thousand. I don't fall asleep watching movies, generally.

Is there some unwritten code against just walking away and finding something more interesting to do? Do they have armed guards at the cinema doors, do they shackle the viewers in their seats?
Braveheart.
In my defense, I had just come back from a one week field excercise during my military service, so I was pretty tired.

People that fall asleep regularly I just hope you don't snore...
As for me I've never fallen asleep at a theater, ok maybe at a drive in theater when I was young.
At home though for the life of me I can't stay awake during the old movie Clue, I've tried numerous times and have failed.
Maybe I'll stay awake for the new one coming out.

I worked a night shift, didn't sleep all day, and went to see Moana at 6pm. Missed the entire end. My best friend turned to me to say how great it was and had to wake me up. I also fell asleep during Reigns-Taker match at Wrestlemania last year, if that counts. Fell asleep during not one, but TWO Of Monsters and Men sets years apart. I'm just a sleepy girl.
I don't get what's so hard to understand.
Some movies are really boring, it makes people sleepy, they're in a comfy chair and it's dark as fuck.
The Thin Red Line
Blade Runner 2049
Beasts Of The Southern Wild
A Serious Man
Catch Me If You Can
The second Hobbit movie
Road To Perdition
It (2017)
There are definitely more, but I can't remember them all right now. The Thin Red Line was the worst though, I remember literally nothing about the movie and I still haven't watched it again since then.

Lincoln. The best part is I thought I dozed off for 5 minutes but I was told I slept a whole hour. I didn't even notice.
Agreed. Kinda crazy that so many people fall asleep. I find it really odd.
Well, I don't really like the movies in the bottom half, so that money was wasted anyway.
Only missed like 15 minutes of Blade Runner (including the hologram sex scene), so that's okay.
Still have to rewatch the other three, but I'm sure I'd like A Serious Man and Beasts at least.

Some context: I saw it on the last day of the festival I was working for, so I had been running around organizing stuff pretty much non-stop for a week. I was absolutely exhausted, but really wanted to see the film. The result? I fell asleep ten minutes in.
I made up for it by going to see the film again a week later and I absolutely adored it.

I tagged along with a friend to see Lone Survivor a few years back. I didn't really care about the film, I just wanted company and to be out of the house. Nodded off a little bit during that.
