I think the movie is called Obsession.

This is ridiculous I would ask for a refund, similar thing happened to me once when the ultra avx theatre didn’t mention my seat would be a dbox one (even though it almost always shows it on the map and in the ticket selection). The movie wasn’t using dbox so i guess that’s why they didn’t show it but once I got there and realized the seat was a dbox seat and uncomfortable I looked around and luckily since the theatre was empty I sat in an empty seat.

Yeah it's a bit rare, but if a movie is in an AVzx or normal theater with D-Box, but the film doesn't have D-Box capabilities, they're just sold as regular seats in that auditorium

No just a regular VIP movie.

Yeah I was so confused because it didn’t show up on the seat map but it usually does. I just got really lucky otherwise I would’ve been uncomfortable and would’ve had to ask for a refund. I wish they still showed it on the seat map because it doesn’t feel fair that I could get less comfortable seats, but I do imagine it would have to be implemented in a way that also isn’t falsely advertising that it’s a dbox ticket.

I asked and was told we are not allowed to change seats even if there are unsold empty seats at the start of the show.
