One: I was sitting up in the top seats of a stadium-style theater during a showing of one of the 'Pirates' movies. there was a group of teenagers down at the floor level being obnoxious brats (the movie was pretty loud, and the theater was pretty big and they somehow managed to annoy the whole theater.
Anyway, at some point someone got ticked enough at them to hurl their half-full popcorn bucket at them. One of them yelled some obscenity and about a dozen more people tossed popcorn, candy boxes, soda containers and (I think) a book or a shoe.
Two: A friend told me about this one: At a showing of Jurassic Park, right after the raptor eats the worker, a woman shouts at the screen "This movie isn't appropriate for children!!!" to which someone replied back "That's why it's rated PG-13 you dumb bitch!!" She promptly got up and shuffled her protesting kids out of the theater.
Three: Right after Brokeback Mountain was released, I went to see it and the audience that morning was mostly senior citizens (this was in the mid-west). If you haven't seen the movie, pretty much nothing happens between Ennis and Jack for at least 30-40 minutes with no real indicators about what is going to happen (if you don't know what to look for).
Apparently one guy just thought he was going to see a nice cowboy movie, because in the middle of a dead-quiet theater he yells out "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SH##!!??" the second they start going at each other. I never heard a bigger laugh in a theater before or since.
You built a time machine... Out of a Delorean??!!
