Police said the accident happened about 7:45pm.

Fortunately, nobody was hurt, even though the SUV came inches from some moviegoer heads.

"I never thought it'd be here in the theater, especially while the show's running and a couple people are in here watching Dreamgirls. It was just surreal shock," said theater owner Robert Sadlon.

Police charged the driver, 46-year-old Diletta Squires, with driving under the influence.
