It was made illegal in the Supreme Court case Schenk v. United States in 1919.
The court case was more tailored to talk and advocating Communism, using the "fire in a crowded theatre" idea as an analogous figurative statement, but that's when the phrase was coined and made unlawful.

∙ 10y agoNo it's not illegal but if there isn't a fire then it would disrupt people who are watching the movie. Or in some circumstances if there is a fire then yell or shout.
And if people get hurt in the chaos that follows you can get sued for your "prank".
