A Mexican woman has been arrested for masturbating while watching box-office sensation 'Fifty Shades of Grey' in a cinema.

The actions of the woman, aged 33, upset fellow movie-goers as they watched Sam Taylor-Johnson’s film adaptation of E L James’s bestseller in the city of Sinaloa in north-western Mexico, La Verdad reported.

The aroused woman was sitting in the 12th row of the cinema and her actions were reported to management, who called in police and arrested her for public indecency.

The film, which dominated at the box office last weekend with $81.7million in ticket sales, grossed $23.2 million this weekend, USA today reported.

Paul Dergarabedian, of ticket-sales firm Rentrak, said the film grossed over $400 million (R4.57 billion) worldwide in its first week at cinemas.
