It’s summer vacation, so it’s not a school night. I’m sure it was a special treat to get to see the new movie on its first showing. I don’t see anything wrong with that.
But, that said, I’m not sure I would want to expose a child to the kind of weirdos who are *normally* out at midnight in a city.
I’ve been to midnight showings before. It’s usually a lot more fun than a regular showing since the big fans are all there. I imagine the parents really wanted to see the movie, and figured the little kids would just sleep anyway.
Not a big deal, and certainly not worth accusing the parents of being accessories to their own children’s murder.
