If you're at the theater and have someone watching your children, I would hope you gave them the name of the theater as well as your cell phone #. A babysitter should to instructed to only call if it was an emergency and then contact the theater also so someone can be ready to assist you if needed.
I never had a emergency happen while at the movies, but there have been times someone had to reach me right away to let me know my parents had been admitted to the hospital or died. I didn't own a cell phone when my mom was alive, so family called my home phone or someplace they knew I was likely to be.
I did miss one call from my brother, by 15 minutes when they were trying to let me know my mom had gone home to die. They knew only that I was on my way to Philly for the 2001 World SF/Fantasy Convention and the name of my hotel. They then waited until my mom died 3 days later to call the hotel and reach me at 7:30 in the morning. All I could do was pack my bags and have Jonwin drive me back home to be with my family. Mom and Dad had told me to go ahead with my plans to attend the Convention, but I wish I had gotten that first call, so I could have seen her one last time before she went into a coma.
When my family got word of my father's death, my daughter call the center I attend 3 days a week and sent her boyfriend who just happen to be down the street to pick me up. I had a cell phone then, but it wouldn't have been a good idea to let me know through a call directly to me at the time. Calling the center let them prepare me in private for the news of my father's dealth. I can't imagine what it would be like if I got a text saying a relative died while watching a movie.
For both times my parents died I reacted to the news with a loud cry of grief. Something that truly would have interrupted your movie viewing pleasure.
+1 rambling to add nothing in reality but be annoying.
