The first amendment says it is okay to do that so there should not be an issue. If others are upset and let it be known, that's their right as well.

No. The First Amendment prohibits Congress (and through the extension of the 14th Amendment, the States) from abridging the freedom of speech:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The First Amendment does not apply in a private enterprise.

Okay, allow me to clarify my prior; If I am at work and I walk up to my boss in front of my co-workers and tell him that he's a horrible manager, I will not be arrested for my words; I may get fired but will not be criminally prosecuted for my words. If my co-workers agree or disagree verbally at the same time, they will not be criminally charged as well although they could be fired as well.

The theater has the right to remove them from the premises but not have them charged with a crime. My opinion.

Thank you for clarifying. I generally agree with you.

If you are fired then you don't have the right of free speech on someone else's property.

Correct; as I mentioned in the above post; you will not be charged criminally but, while there are a few exceptions, you can be fired in most cases under labor law.
