A video posted by YouTube user Lynly Ehrlich captured some of the mayhem, with customers screaming expletives at AMC staff to restart the movie.

Twitter user Isaias Rodriguez tweeted that "AMC offered a couple of options" to placate customers, including moving to another screen at the same theater, or to attend a screening at a different AMC theater on Friday.

Those offerings didn't seem to go over too well, and things got so heated Burbank police were called to keep the peace.

ALERT: Burbank police have been called to the AMC Theaters for a large crowd of people mad that the sound failed in their theater. You think you have it bad waiting in those long concession stands... — myBurbank News (@myBurbankNEWS) December 15, 2017

UPDATE: Police are about to enter Theater 5 at the AMC 16's for an 'uprising' — myBurbank News (@myBurbankNEWS) December 15, 2017

So after #TheLastJedi at @AMCTheatres in Burbank, they were rude and had attitudes as we left the theater. I guess we should apologize for wanting to see a film that we paid for w/ audio. Should I pull the Vet card? #AMC #HopeYouEnjoyedTheShow — Michael Antonio (@MichaelAntonioZ) December 15, 2017

@AMCTheatres wow opening night showing of Star Wars at AMC Burbank starts without sound for 10min and staff refuses to restart the film! Unbelievably poor customer service! — Brock J. Stearn (@myanimator) December 15, 2017
