Have you ever been to a movie so terrible that you saw people leaving the theater? Which one was it?

So I went and saw it on a weekend with a buddy just because we liked seeing movies. We went into it with no idea what it was about besides "epic dragon movie". I watched so many fans of the book get up angrily about 35 minutes in and storm out.
We talked to one of the theatre employees and they said that they had never received so many refund requests for a bad film before Eragon.
And rightfully so. That movie was an utter atrocity.
Are we talking Star Was Holiday Special bad, or is it the sort of thing you could watch while laughing at it? Because my friend has a big weed stash and needs to know about movies like that.
If it was that campy, it might have been endearing. No, it's a "I could have spent this time playing checkers with myself" kind of bad. I was a big fan of the books so I felt like I should sit through the whole thing just to say I watched it but I couldn't keep myself awake. I couldn't care less about any of the characters by the end of it.
