DARTMOUTH, Mass. â Moviegoers at the AMC theater in Dartmouth got more than they bargained for Friday night when heavy rain sent water streaming into the building during a screening.
Video circulating on social media shows water flooding into the theater through a back entrance at roughly 8:30 p.m., as a powerful rainstorm moved across Bristol County. The footage, shared by a viewer, captures the interior of the multiplex as water spread across the floor.
Employees at the location declined to comment on the video or the extent of any damage.
The flooding comes as the region grapples with increasingly intense rain events, which scientists say are becoming more frequent and severe as the climate warms. For local businesses and public spaces, such incidents raise questions about drainage infrastructure and preparedness.
No injuries were reported, and it was not immediately clear whether the theater remained open or how long cleanup might take. The AMC location is a popular destination for families and moviegoers in the Dartmouth area.
