Not really, there is a teachable moment here.
The officers explained the policy prohibiting weapons and asked the men to return their guns to their vehicles, which police said they did.

The Second Amendment constrains the Federal Government from infringing on the right to keep and bear arms.
The Constitution is totally meaningless when it comes to 2 individuals.
The Owner of the Theater as one individual and the patron which is the other.
If the Owner decides he doesn't want the patrons armed, he has that right. He can refuse service to the armed patron or ask the patron to leave. (kinda like no shirt no shoes no service)
If the patron ignores the requests he is then "disturbing the peace" and is subject to arrest.

The Constitution protects you from the government. You have freedom of speech. As an individual, I have the right to punch you in the nose if I don't like what you say. The government does not.

Some states do not recognize the "no guns" signs as legal, just food for thought.

Where did you get the idea you can punch people if you don't like what they say? I don't see that covered in the constitution? ;-)

It isn't and that is my point. The constitution limits government, not individuals. State law kicks in for that. Federal law should not have nay bearing on the individual, only the states.

Granted I could be arrested for punching you in the nose under a Statute or ordinance if you press charges. Or you could fight back and we engage in mutual combat, where we could both go our separate ways or both be arrested for peace disturbance or a dozen other ways for the lawyers (the ones who write the laws) to make money, win loose or draw.

I would be curious to see the sign requirements for that state. Where I live, the theater I frequent has the proper signs and everything is good... Except... They are posted at the ticket window when the law specifically states they need to be posted at all entrances. I will not say if I carry in this place or not, however, they aren't following the law like it states, so I wouldn't be breaking a law if I were to carry there.

I know it says the officers suggest the sign being bigger but maybe those individuals saw a flaw in their posting of the sign.

Not entirely true, the bill of rights are incorporated to restrict the states as well as the federal government under the due process clause of the 14th amendment and have been held up to restrict states and municipalities from restricting firearms in McDonald v. Chicago. So the constitution does have a bearing on the individual, however while you have the right to bear arms on your own property and public property, it does not extend to the private property of others IE, movie theaters.
 
You can punch people in the nose if you don't like what they say...and when you finally get out of jail, you won't be able to carry a gun anymore because you'll be a felon.
