Corrected entry: Seth, Scott, and Kate flee down the hallway to the storage area, pursued by the bats all the way and barely closing the door behind them. But when Jacob goes down the hallway (backwards, so the cross faces the main room), all the bats have emptied out into the main bar instead of trying to break down the door or waiting for the prey to inevitably stick its head out. Quite convenient, since Jacob can only point his weapon one direction at a time. (01:23:40 - 01:25:10)

Corrected entry: Considering how many hundreds of bats were trying to bust into the bar, there's an awful lot of empty space to move around in and turn your back on. Since the vampires' human forms are bigger than the bats and the swarm of bats filled the hall nicely, that bar ought to be packed wall to wall. (01:23:20 - 01:30:45)
Correction: First of all, not all the bats necessarily turn into vampires. There could be some hundred bats that were just bats, and would consequently take up less space. Secondly, it depends on what kind of vampires they were. Since you never see any of them turn from bat into vampire, there is also the possibility that they resemble Bram Stoker's Dracula in that sense, and that one single vampire does not turn into a single bat, but rather a swarm of them (which does not decrease their total mass, but spreads it around). If, say, one vampire becomes 20 or 30 bats, there should be enough room for them when they regain their humanoid form.

Correction: This is a character mistake, not a movie mistake. Besides, if the bats thought the humans had escaped or would be hiding there a while, they might choose to wait out in the room rather than one crowded hallway.
