I would ask for a refund if I did walk because of a bad movie. I've noticed people seldom think they have the right to do so though.
Doesn't surprise me. People seem to accept bad movies. Mark Kermode's book The Good, the Bad and the Multiplex argues that it's almost impossible for bad films to lose money. Even if the film tanks at the box office (Waterworld), it eventually recoups it losses, and then turns a profit, on rentals and sell-through (Waterworld). I think an exception was comedies that aren't funny, but pretty much any serious film eventually turns a profit, even if it takes a decade. Not sure how true that will continue to be in an on-demand future, but it's an interesting phenomenon.
