I also have this issue but have no tiered seating just a row of chairs and a sofa behind it.... For some reason when you tell them as a group to watch a movie they all get up and stand to watch. Even if they were seated already watching tv. Don't know if this is a bug or what
Ah this also happens to me in home cinema where sim will just standing in front of the door smh, and also occurs in one living room.
In addition to that, I also hope that in the next update EA/Maxis will allow sims to watch from further distance. Based on my checking recently, sims can only watch at a maximum 6.5 grid away from the TV. I need my sims to watch from sofa that is 8 grid away from the very large Monolith Wall TV.
