Based on reading spoilers, I think the crowd reactions for this thing could vary. Curious to what people responded to the most.
The most silence I ever experienced after the film, people were stunned.
Laughs - Squidward joke, Banner cant get it up joke
Gasps - Drax and Mantis fake death, Gamora death, Red Skull Cameo, Thanos snap
Cheers - Cap's arrival to save Wanda and Vision, Wanda's arrival on the Wakanda battlescene, Thor's arrival on the Wakanda battlescene
People cheered whencap first appeared and basically every thor scene in god mode
Crowd reaction threads are always so interesting to me... I don't know if it's the part of England I live in, but if anyone claps or makes a noise during a movie, it's seen as a massive faux pas. Like, you better not be making a sound when that Marvel intro pops up. Clapping at the end of the movie is especially weird. I think laughter is the only noise considered acceptable over here and even then, it better not be annoying and over the top lol.
This is why the English are considered uptight...
In France, it's the same. Cheering or clapping during the film would be considered very weird.

I might clap at the end today... see what happens. I assume I'll be escorted out lol.

There was a timid clap at the end of my screening, but it was more of a mom clapping towards her little boy to show support/appreciation (the little girl next to them had fallen asleep during the film !).
I kinda envy the crowd reactions people are reporting from the american theaters, yet, I suspect it would bug me and take me out of the film.
Haha. They'll have you listed as an official troublemaker after that! I think underneath a lot of people want to at least clap when a film turns out to be amazing, but they don't want to be the one to start it in case it peters out quickly.
Yeah I think going to the cinema is a more interactive experience in the US. I suppose when you grow up with it being like that, it's just the norm. I side eye people if they so much as crunch their popcorn too loudly lol.
It was really different in an IMAX cinema that I attended in Jakarta, Indonesia. It felt like a music concert and that was the first time I experienced such thing.
Before the movie played, some audiences (more than a dozen), did the Yibambe chant from the Avengers's tv spot. It happened for a couple of minutes before they ended it by screaming Wakanda Forever. They got a lot of appreciation from the other audiences because it really boost our mood before watching the movie.
Then, during the movie, lots of the audiences laughed, clap, and cheered in every special scenes. The energy dropped a lot at the ending, but regained during the post credit scene.
My mother went on a trip to Canada and she said that going inside a cinema theater, the smell of the snacks was very strong.
I suppose that in Europe, the experience of going to the movies is a little less about pure entertainment than in the US, maybe it's because cinema is more perceived as an art form with its authors, etc.
In France, it's the same. Cheering or clapping during the film would be considered very weird.
Absolutely. Which was a pleasant surprise during my showing yesterday.
Last time I remember people reacting so loudly to a movie was I think Avatar and it doesn't compare in intensity to what I experienced yesterday.
I said it elsewhere but people went absolutely ballistic every step of the way.
And that's a nice change of pace because frankly it sometimes suck when you're the only one being vocal in a crowded theater.
