My LO is 2w, 1 day old, and I also have a rambuncious 4.5yo boy who is not going to school today - its a day off.
Its a rainy day today, and I was thinking about bringing them (with help) to a movie...just something to do. DS (4.5yo) bounces off walls by 3:30p if there is nothing to do...and DD (2w, 1d) doesn't have her shots yet.
If you have help and don't mind wasting the money if you have to bail, go for it. I would guess it's a pretty quiet movie day since people are either traveling, cooking or working
I wouldn't. Because it's raining and that Frozen movie comes out today, the theater will probably be packed and full of germs. And- not gonna lie- I hate when I see an infant carrier coming into a movie theater, even if it's a kids movie. All I can think is, "They'd better haul that baby out of here if it starts crying" and "You're putting that kid down on a theater floor? Eww."
If you have someone offering to help at the theater, could that person instead take your son to the theater while you stay home with the baby?

Just go! Wear the baby and have fun. My youngest DD went to a movie every month since she was 2w old. She was great and either slept or nursed. Save the ticket stubs and out them in the baby book.
We ended up not going to the theatre, weather got too rough.
I do want to take DS to see "Free Bird" & "Frozen" but maybe to the first showing in the middle of the week when everyone is at school & work so the theatre is less packed.
I would go with someone else though JIC I need to leave to change DD's diaper.
