Radar thinks, like the woman thought, that the theatre itself is different than the parking lot. In actual fact most such retail situations have a single owner and the theatre is leasing the property, and so the law applies equally in both locations and the cops are well aware of the desires of the property owner. There is almost a blanket ban on solicitation in such places and it's even likely that the theatre, like most malls, has a "no soliciting" sign on their door.

In our township, 20 miles from where the incident occurred, the Regal Cinema is actually so tight with the local cops that every Friday and Saturday night there's one car on permanent patrol there. You can wager they are absolutely aware of the location's policies.
