It only got a 7/10 from me, but I was tired. I am going with a friend again in the next few days, I'm gonna give it a second chance
lol Kosinki is a hack, Oblivion is not going to have good word of mouth. The movie was worth it because I got to see the new trailer on the big screen.
Scattered applause and at the end of it, some lady shouted "Superman is back baby!!!" to a big laugh haha.
This is the 8th year Ive been following these up close. 99.9999% of the "they clapped" reactions are fake.
Takes a packed house with a very enthusiastic crowd AND an extremely hyped film. The ONLY time I have ever seen an audience clap out at all was at the end of the THE DARK KNIGHT RISES trailer with avengers at midnight. Sold out house full of jubilant comic book geeks. "This isn't a car" - cut to the Bat barrel rolling over a sky scrapper - they clapped and cheered like it was a football game. Other than that, never seen clapping at a trailer before. Sure, everyone knows the stories of folks going into the theater and watching the trailer for Batman 1989 or Jurassic park 2, but that before trailer viewing on the internet had really blown up.
One needs to know - the TRUE sign of an effective trailer is NOT chattering. It is SILENCE throughout the trailer. When the TDKR trailer aired with Avengers, you could have heard a pin drop.

I find this trailer reaction thing really weird. In the UK we don't react at all to any trailers, I think maybe because it's seen as rude to be noisy in a film theatre. Hmm.
America, f*** yeah!Yeah, it must just be those uncouth American audiences. No manners.
Wait. Fake? You really think everyone is lying about applause?
I don't think it's as rare as you think. And even if it is, I don't think "99.9999%" of people would lie about it.

I think both of those examples fit into my description of the situation required for mass trailer applause.

Yeah.so they converted this movie into IMAX and 3D right?
I can't speak for all of America, but I certainly share the attitude that it's rude to be noisy during a film, and I think most Americans agree. I think most of these noisy, cheering reactions that we hear about are during midnight premieres, which are packed with hard-core fans. And even then, it's during the trailers rather than the feature film.
In fact, I've never personally experienced any wild cheering or applause during a movie here in the States. Then again, I've never gone to any midnight premieres, either (MoS will be my first!), so I'm sure my sample-group is skewed.

I'm at the center of this kind of thing in L.A....(Burbank AMC and Pasadena Arclight). It's quite regular...during opening weekend for big movies.
Everyone is just hyped.
It's not as rare as you make it sound. It happens in my area (Washington DC) all the time. But you're right in that the majority of the time it's during packed (most often midnight) shows. It just depends on the demographic make-up of the audience, though. When I went to see Django Unchained on a Saturday evening (around 7pm), we had a fairly young, rowdy crowd who had audible reactions to just about every trailer (good and bad). That's the fun (and risk) of a movie theater audience - you never know what kind of communal experience you're gonna get. One person can have some funny, loud reaction to something, and that can elicit a joint reaction from everybody else in the room. Suddenly you're all in on the fun. That's the experience home video will never be able to replicate, imo.This is the 8th year Ive been following these up close. 99.9999% of the "they clapped" reactions are fake.
