In the face of those regulations, Brewvies (a movie theater chain that doubles as a pub) found itself in trouble last year when it served alcohol during Deadpool — thus going against the state law dictating that such an establishment cannot serve alcohol in conjunction with sexually explicit content.
As a result, the state threatened the theater with a $25,000 penalty as a potential punitive measure.
As a state with a large Mormon population, laws related to the sale of alcohol in Utah are generally stricter than other parts of the United States.
However, a report from Statesman confirms that a U.S. judge has struck down this legal complaint on the grounds that it violates the chain’s First Amendment rights.
