We're not suppressing it, we're just selectively avoiding using the AC accidentally in certain theaters.
Now I don't know about you, but with only a high school education and all, I know there's a fucking off and on switch on an AC, and most places don't give access to such things to anyone but a manager or better. Fuck, I worked at a grocery store for a few years and there was ONE person who had the key to be able to control things like that. In a store that had 25 workers. One key. Don't gimme that it was an oops we turned off the AC to only certain movies to make you uncomfortable the entire time.
And some even evacuated people from the theater for some reason. That's insane, especially with no reason given. Sure they refunded them (eventually, according to the online ticket purchase lady) but that doesn't mean they got to see the movie.
So if you're looking to watch a movie, make sure it's not in an AMC theater. They're just going to "oopsie woopsie we made a fucky wucky, we're as incompetent as fuck, our bad" themselves to being maliciously compliant to ruin the box office numbers as much as they can in their own special little way.
If this is what they're doing, and it seems plausible, I would suggest finding a theater that doesn't actively hate the people paying to be there.
If the theater is in a mall, it's possible that zero people have access to the AC including the managers depending on how the system is set up or how the mall decides to manage it.
I'd agree, but it's too selective to be able to shut off only certain theaters showing this movie in particular.
Then again, I have no idea how they would wire up the AC for whichever mall those theaters are in. It's likely temperature controlled locally in the theater even if it's set to ambient temperature of the mall, so there would at least be a thermostat, likely under lock and key.
It was the exact opposite when I went and saw it. The A/C was on constantly and was much louder than the dialogue of the movie. I made a point of pointing it out but that was before I was introduced to the idea that there was anything shady going on.
Still don't know what I think about the whole thing...

This movie has a really wide release, I'm sure the plurality of theaters are showing this movie.

Its especially funny as their defense to malice is to admit extreme incompetence. Something that should lose them customers and sales anyway.
