In a plot twist that not even Hollywood’s most jaded scriptwriter could anticipate, a regional movie theater chain known as “Apple Cinemas” is finding itself starring in a gripping legal thriller—all thanks to its fruity name and an army of Cupertino lawyers who, allegedly, haven’t seen a movie since the invention of the MacBook.
Apple Inc., the maker of visionary gadgets and that one U2 album you never asked for on your iPhone, has reportedly dispatched their legal team after discovering that their name was being “used in vain”—not to mention in large glowing letters above a popcorn machine in Hartford. According to insiders, Apple’s lawyers arrived at the cinema dressed in matching turtlenecks, clutching cease-and-desist orders and iPads loaded with over eighty pages of legal citations and GIFs of Tim Cook looking stern.
“People might think we sell $179 popcorn buckets filled with courageously thin butter,” lamented an Apple Cinemas spokesperson, while hurriedly introducing an auxiliary snack menu featuring ‘non-infringing bananas.’
Representatives from Apple were quick to issue a statement: “We take our brand very seriously. Our users expect a certain standard when they see the name Apple. If this continues, we might see theaters releasing the iMovie: The Motion Picture, featuring Cameo by Siri™, and no one wants that.”
Industry experts are divided over whether cinema-goers are truly at risk of confusing a local movie house with a Fortune 500 tech behemoth, though several did admit that they’d be thrilled if the theater handed out free AirPods with every ticket.
As both sides prepare arguments for the inevitable courtroom drama, Apple Cinemas executives are reportedly considering a name change. Early contenders include “Pear Palaces,” “Banana Bijou,” and, of course, “Definitely-Not-A-Trillion-Dollar-Tech-Company Cinemas.”
One thing’s for sure: The next coming attractions at Apple Cinemas might be found under “Legal Thrillers.”
