Same here. I always hear people talk about theatre reactions, but people in my theatre dont cheer or clap or anything

Yeah. The only movie I can recall getting a reaction is claps during the Last Airbender trailer before Iron Man 2.

 

[Sharkboy]

Maybe it's a US/UK thing, I never really hear much outside of clapping (even that is rare) in UK screens.

i have watched the avengers trailer 3 times in theatre and two of the times the people went beserk when the entire hulk scene was shown...

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I keep hoping I'll witness one of these mythical boisterous audiences one day, but much like the snipe or the jackalope it remains ever elusive.

 

[kedrell]

I must say that ever since they started releasing trailers online at about the same time as they were put in theaters the phenomenon of audience excitement has diminished from what I've seen. It used to be that that was the only place you could see the trailers(and in many ways even know that the movie is being made in the first place). But in the last 10 years or so that has steadily dwindled due to the INTERNET. God, I miss pre-INTERNET days sometimes.

Do you not go to midnight shows often? At regular showings, I rarely witness audience reactions outside of the occasional clapping at the end of a movie, but midnight shows are a whole other story. I'm shocked when the audience doesn't react (good or bad) to a trailer at a midnight show. The energy is just totally different. And yes, often quite boisterous (most recently, the crowd at my HP7 midnight show was insane. In a good way.). Same goes for special screenings.

 

[kedrell]

Yeah, midnight screenings are somewhat of the last bastion of real audience excitement. Hell, a bad movie can be made tolerable if you see it with an enthusiastic crowd who's into it anyway.

Yeah I've seen Pulp Fiction and a few other midnight shows that had the excitement levels pumped up but I was talking about regular showings.

Now when I saw Attack of the Clones on opening night there was a lot of hooping and cheering but that's a special case as the place was packed with Star Wars nerds. t:

But as far as regular movie showings I haven't seen it, and certainly not from the trailers.

 

[Son of Coul]

Studying abroad next semester in England with people I barely know and I already organized a midnight showing for Avengers on facebook with them. Gonna be brolick

 

[kedrell]

Watching X3 & SM3 at midnight shows made them tolerable for me. Because God knows I've tried to sit through them again after that and I just can't make it all the way in one sitting.

 

[quara33]

In LA and the Bay Area there's usually reaction to movie trailers at regular showings. These tend to be university/techie/geeky areas, tho, so maybe that's a factor. In Dallas there's usually no reaction at all.

 

[BigThor]

When I went to see Immortals the audience had a pretty big reaction The Avengers and Ghost Rider: SOV trailers (mainly the fire-peeing).

 

[Godsfireworks]

Usually at my theaters the audience takes a instigator to get into it, for example, at Sherlock 2 when the Other-Universe-Movie-That's-coming-out-this-summer trailer showed, the theater was completely silent until one of my friends yelled out at the end "holy BOSS!" then the theater erupted.

I had no such luck.

You live in Maryland, too? The amount of audience reaction may vary wildly by location.

I now live in Baltimore County and I've seen audiences react to a lot of trailers and movies. When a trailer interests or amuses people they laugh and chatter, but when it's awful or for an obviously bad movie (like The Change-Up) there is grumbling. After screenings of Captain America and Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 the entire audience applauded. (Happened three times for CA:TFA when I was in attendance, and the Avengers teaser got loud cheers. Even Nick Fury got a round of applause.)

However, when I lived in Montgomery County there was never any audible reaction whatsoever to films or trailers. I think people there would never have cheered after a movie like they did here. So as I said, reaction seems to vary by location, at least in my experience. Or maybe people here are just more enthusiastic.

Just curious, but does the trailer that we had just gotten (back in October) count as a official "Teaser" or as the films first official theatrical trailer?

 

[misjuevos]

when yoda first picked up his lightsaber and jumped around people were going crazy in the theatre

I would think the first trailer since we had the Nick Fury voice over teaser and then the teaser at the end of Cap.

That's the thing that's been making me scratch my head for awhile now.lol

The thing is, that teaser/post credit scene was only released to the public via being attached to every film print of CA; but it was never released online entirely as teasers normally are.

If anything, I've always wondered if that preview should just be labeled as strictly a "post credit scene" due to its limited availability of viewership (where you can only see it if you have a copy of CA or went to the theaters), whereas teaser trailers are normally (and officially) accessible by anyone who has a computer.

Haha, that's a good point, I hadn't thought about that.

The after-Cap Avengers footage was eventually released online. They released it a few weeks after CA:TFA opened in North America. But I don't think they ever put it in front of movies like a normal teaser would have got(like TDKR's teaser or TDK's with just voice overs).

True, but they only released a "tiny snippet" of the post credit scene/preview..if anything, it was just something more of a preview to give further incentive for people to go and watch CA.

People were actually clapping for that movie?

It's a pretty popular show amongst kids and older fanfic writers.

To be fair the show is awesome and the trailer for the movie was pretty cool. Unfortunately the movie was awful.
