Your plans to go see "Fifty Shades of Grey" in full costume have just taken a turn. In a statement to Mashable, AMC Theaters spokesperson Ryan Noonan revealed viewers would not be permitted to bring many movie-related props into the theater.

"While we welcome those guests who want to show their excitement for a film by dressing up in costume," Noonan said, "we do not permit weapons (real or fake), or props/costumes that would make guests uncomfortable, or detract from the moviegoing experience."

After months of anticipation, "Fifty Shades Of Grey" finally hits theaters Friday, Feb. 13. While you may not be able to show up in your outfit of choice, the film's trailer suggests you still likely won't be bored.
