What do you think the first movie in the theatre was?

I am not entirely sure, but this is what I do know. The first movie was made in 1878, and was called, 'The Horse in Motion', though it was only 16 seconds long.The earliest recorded account of a film being projected was by Charles Francis Jenkins in 1894. In this movie, Jenkins protected his film before his family and friends.
