Of course it's people without kids that are the ones who can ALREADY easily go to see movies.
People with kids tend to suspend their theater going. It may be more intelligent to try to EXPAND the audience rather than restrict it. For example several theaters in this area have installed sound proof "family rooms" with their own sound systems. This way whole families can go to see a movie (and pay for overpriced tickets and buy overpriced candy) without bothering other patrons.
