Phenomenon (1996) with John Travolta.

We were with a group and some of the group wanted to see it, despite doubts by some of us. So we went anyways, figured even if it's bad, it's a shared experience. The movie was kinda meh, boring and forgettable, but not bad per se. However it is a looooooong movie, after about an hour about half of the group wanted to leave. Multiple people had already walked out of the theater at that point. By the time 90 minutes rolled around even the people who really wanted to see the movie said they wanted to leave. We were one of the last to leave, most people had walked out at that point. The theater apologized and gave everyone a voucher for another movie.

It wasn't even the good kind of bad where it turns into campy or corny or anything like that. It was just boring AF and maybe more of a TV movie than an actual theater experience.
