Hitchcock's stated reason for not allowing anyone in after the start of the movie, was that he didn't want a viewer arriving after the shower murder expecting to see the star Janet Leigh. But it's much more likely, he didn't want the surprise of the shower murder to be any less for a viewer because they missed the plot decoy of the embezzling crime that preceded it. In Hitchcock's own words: "All that my writer and I do in scheming surprises can be destroyed by letting the viewer walk in during the middle of the picture."
