My idea would be to do it in the auditoriums. Send out a signal to ring the phones in a given auditorium (only during the feature, so that phones may still be used at intermission, etc.) and when the user answers it, have a recording play: "We here at blah blah Cinemas please ask that you turn off this cell phone and/or mobile paging device for the courtesy of other customers. If you must use this device, please proceed to the lobby." Have this happen every 5 minutes or so. Then again, that would suck for the courteous people who put theirs on "vibrate" mode =TMP=  |  IP: Logged
