Fight Breaks Out During ‘The Garfield Movie’ Screening in Front of Children, Families
The last thing anyone thought would happen during the screening of The Garfield Movie was a fight breaking out between two guests. Unfortunately, that happened a few days ago, as someone captured a short video showcasing two male adults going at each other inside a movie theater. In the video, you can see children and families watching in horror as the nasty brawl unfolds.

A fight broke out during a screening of the ‘GARFIELD’ movie – @DiscussingFilm on X
Discussing Film on X posted the above video to the popular social media platform, X, showing a male in green joggers and a white shirt aggressively approaching another male towards the front of the cinema screening of The Garfield Movie (2024). A few guests attempt to de-escalate the situation by holding the male in the green jogger back. But unfortunately, that only went so far as, eventually, things got heated.
As the video continues, you can see families, including children, throughout the movie theater, watching in horror as, eventually, the two males lift their fists. They began to attempt to throw punches at each other in front of the screen. Throughout the video, there appeared to be no cinema employees as the two males fought on and threw swings at each other.

At this time, there is no accurate indication as to why this fight broke out in the first place. The video ends with the first male in the green jogger pants speaking in Spanish, appearing to throw out a lackluster apology to the families in attendance who had their children witness the fight in the first place. The video cuts out and ends abruptly before any actual resolution occurs.
There is no news yet on whether or not these males were arrested following the nasty brawl or if anyone in the audience attempted to contact police or law enforcement. These types of situations happen more often than you think, resulting in one person or two getting seriously injured or arrested for attempting to disrupt the peace. If ever caught in the middle of something like this, it’s best to stay out of it, contact the proper authority figures, and ensure everyone is safe.
The Garfield Movie (2024), an animated adventure comedy film based on Jim Davis’ beloved Garfield comic strip, is set to hit US theaters on May 24, 2024, boasting a runtime of 1 hour and 41 minutes. This PG-rated movie promises a family-friendly experience devoid of blood, sex, or violence, though it does include the word “damn.”

The storyline follows Garfield (Chris Pratt) as he embarks on a journey to reunite with his long-lost father, Vic (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson), a scruffy street cat. Vic’s arrival sets off a whirlwind of events, compelling Garfield and his faithful dog Odie to partake in a high-stakes heist. The star-studded cast also features the voices of Hannah Waddingham, Ving Rhames, Nicholas Hoult, Cecily Strong, Harvey Guillén, Brett Goldstein, Bowen Yang, and Snoop Dogg.
With Samuel L Jackson alone, this star-studded cast has brought one of the most well-known children’s TV shows to the big screen. The unexpected reunion with Garfield and his father results in a wild outdoor adventure in an animated movie that makes the TV show look bleak. Lasagna is still on the menu, with user reviews praising the film throughout movie news websites, with the film having mild thematic elements, a new groove to the Garfield story, and some hilarious high stakes heist throughout the United States.
