MERIDIAN, Idaho (KBOI) — An Idaho movie theater company is suing the state police after its alcohol enforcement division tried to revoke the theater's liquor license for serving booze during the movie "50 Shades of Grey."
In February 2015, after receiving an anonymous tip, Idaho State Police contacted two Treasure Valley movie theaters that were showing the popular Rated R flick, including Meridian Cinemas, for serving alcohol during the movie. Idaho law forbids businesses from serving alcohol during the movies and films that depict sex.
Village Cinema has a VIP section in some of its theaters that allow adults 21 and up to consume alcohol during a movie.
