Fans captured some of the mayhem on their phones. Their language is, understandably, NSFW.
@KTLAMorningNews https://t.co/VZnSc8G3Hg This is a link of a YouTube video taken at AMC Burbank 16 for a screening of The Last Jedi, and a near riot occurred due to audio failure in the movie. The manager threatened everyone to leave, then they called Burbank PD.

Wow @AMCTheatres your #Burbank 16 location RUINED the Star Wars screening for 9:45. Terrible manager over an hour hasn't restarted the film!

Burbank 16- first 10 minutes of Jedi without dialog. They refused to restart the movie because it would throw off the schedule for the theater. Why not skip the 20 minutes of previews for the next screening then? Ruined it. Big let down. Almost started a riot. #yousuckamc

On a more humorous note, one fan tweeted that at least some of the cops received some "Star Wars" pointers from the angry crowd.
Last Jedi update: Two angry nerds are explaining three-act structure to a Burbank cop while demanding a double refund.

CBS reports that Burbank police were called to the theater at about 10:21 p.m. to disperse "an unruly crowd." None of the options the theater offered -- refunds, being moved to a non-IMAX screening, or to return Friday for another screening -- were what ticked-off moviegoers wanted to hear.
According to the Daily News, only the IMAX screening was experiencing technical difficulties.
