I work at a movie theater. I work the concessions but I've worked long enough to know a little something-something about ushering and cashiers. And a little bit of what managers do. Ask me anything!
Don't recommended if you've been coddled all your life. We don't tolerate that lol.
Since you're 16, you can't close (lucky) so the latest you'll get out is like 9:30 and you can't operate machinery.
Concessions, where I work, I feel have the greatest variety of people, but most wish they worked somewhere else.
QSR (quick servie restaurant), where they serve burgers and fries, is easier and required cooking.
Cashiers, I think have the easiest job but you might have to worh customer service too. And people will be stupid!
Ushers just clean and it's what qsr & concessionist want to be. Grass is greener I guess. You will have to clean up vomit! And what people leave behind in theaters and it can get weird.
I think following twitter accounts like @Movie_Probz (my fav) will give you a good sense of what eployee life is like. Also, you might see the occasional celeb at work!
All in all, there isn't going to be an easy 1st job and it won't be as glamorous as you think, no matter what you apply for. Just work hard and be nice to everybody. Your coworkers can be some of your best friends and make work better :)

ehh, i think the worst that could happen is that they'll have you pay for the regular ticket. They certainly wont ban you and i doubt they'll kick you out for it.

well they're certainly not children. Nor are they seniors.
You can watch a rated R movie... Just with an adult. Because you're still a minor, legally.
