Yes, I do. However, it is not illegal to shout fire in a crowded theatre. If you do it under false pretenses, though, and people get hurt, you are liable.


I am pretty sure that they can at least slap you with disturbing the peace or causing a panic fine even if no one was hurt.  There is a thing called noise complaint also which I've seen a few times cops responding to at parties.

Well, sure, cops can do a lot of shit, including things they're not supposed to do. But if somebody is shouting in a crowded theater for no reason, it shouldn't even get that far. The owners of the establishment should just have him bounced for ruining other customers' experience.
