Did anyone else's theatre get walk outs?

So, news of this movie has that it's been splitting people. Some like it, some hate it. Therefore the news about theatre walk outs has been hitting the news, and my theatre certainly had them.

About 40 minutes in a family of three walked out. Then, about 30 minutes later, another two left. I've never seen that before, but I don't go to the movies a lot. I really enjoyed the film, so the intent of this thread is not to pass judgement on the movie.

I didn't see it in the theater, but if I had, I would have certainly walked out. What a boring mess.

I agree. It started well, went to ok, and then it became a boring mess.

about 10 minutes into the film there is a party scene where the orthodontist baldly states "i am not a homosexual" at the beginning of his conversation with hiddleston. it was at that point i knew this film was going to a piece of you-know-what. for satire to work, the plot and script has to have enough semblance of reality to trigger some recognition in you. no sign of that here, and the "satire" is as subtle as a brick through the window. 40 minutes in and i made the decision to let this play in the background on my tv while i surf the net. what a terrible waste of time this film is.
