You're perfectly in your right to say "no, we shalln't move." The other party knew you, an they were five seats around you - If they wanted to sit with you, they should have split up to take those five seats, or alternatively, selected different seats. You're there to watch the film, not to banter over afternoon tea. I’m writing a piece for the professional (live) theatre I work at about etiquette right now.

Why should you be inconvenienced because they want to sit together? You would have had to enjoy your experience less so that they could enjoy theirs more. They could have showed up early as you did, or waited to see the movie another weekend when it would not be as crowded. I agree! Why should you be inconvenienced because they want to sit together?

Hell NO. If these people wanted choice seats for 5 then they should have showed up 1/2 HOUR EARLIER!!! Your wife was WRONG to ask you to move...I definitely wouldn't have.Why should THEIR kids get the better seating? By the way...I am the mom, just in case your wife says I am siding with you because I am a guy.I wouldn't have put my kids in a worse seating arrangement just because these people got there late.
