In my experience, when people are on their phone throughout the movie, it's usually a sign that they find the movie incredibly boring. Some people simply don't like watching 2 hours of people talking.

I disagree... I have seen so many people, my wife included, not letting the phone down for a good 15-20 minutes after the movie starts, by then, they are already lost so the movie never had a chance

If you find a movie boring, stop it... why ruin it for yourself and all around you by being on the phone throughout the duration of the movie?
