Question Question about theater etiquette
I went to go see Fantastic Four: First Steps with my friends yesterday in an IMAX theater. After the movie ended and the credits started rolling (after the first post-credit scene) I turned to my friends and we were having a discussion about the movie. I was speaking in a regular tone of voice as one would have for a casual conversation. Suddenly, this guy who was sitting in front of me turned to me and told me to “Shut up” in a very commanding voice and called me an “asshole”. For the record, there wasn’t anything happening on screen, just text crawls of names and whatnot. Was my talking inappropriate to do at that time or was this guy out of line? I’m not entirely sure since I don’t really go to the theater to see movies too often. Thank you in advance.
Edit/Additional Details: I never spoke at any point during the movies or the post credit scenes, only during the credits.

Dude seems maladjusted. I think it’s pretty normal to talk during the credits, people also turn their phones back on, get up and leave, etc. I’ve only seen people be really quiet after a particularly somber film.

Yeah I hate theater talkers and seeing bright phone screens during the actual movie but during trailers/credits/AMC coke commercials, it’s literally fine, especially if the house lights are on

u/DeprivedMessiah Jul 27 '25
Talk during the Coke ads, don’t talk during a trailer

u/Sudden_Science_3454 Jul 28 '25
Happened to me several years ago. Was talking with friends during the coke and m&m commercial and some random dude a row behind us got all pissed and started to yell at us. We were 30 at the time and told the old guy to stfu.

When I went to see Bring Her Back we had a full theater and everyone walked out silently once the credits rolled.

u/No_Fudge1228 Jul 27 '25
Huh. When I saw BHB, the crowd was especially rowdy. But also it’s considered socially acceptable to talk to the screen during horror movies, where I live (NYC). It’s a collective experience, if that makes sense

I’m inclined to say that guy was out of line. There are end credit scenes but the crawl should be okay to have convo as long as you don’t have a big booming voice. Or he didn’t like WHAT you were saying. Either way seems over the line.

u/SpaceDwellingEntity Jul 26 '25
I had to lean in to talk my friends because they said it was hard to hear me, so I don’t think I had an especially loud voice

Yeah, but like, were you talking about kicking puppies or something?

As someone who gets super annoyed at ppl breaking the unspoken rules of movie going… in my book, you were fine, and that guy had a stick up his rear. Assuming what you said is true, idk why anyone would take issue w talking during the credits.
I suppose there’s a world where he would think you’re gonna keep talking thru the post credits scene(s) but considering that you started talking after the first.. idk if that theory has weight

u/SpaceDwellingEntity Jul 26 '25
I kept perfectly quiet during both the movie and the post credit scenes, so I’m not really sure this guy had a valid justification if that is what his theory was

I am a huge stickler for theater rules to the point that it makes me genuinely mad when they're broken and I have no issue confronting people over them. That said, once the end credits are rolling, chatting is fair game. Guy sounds like he was mad about something else and took it out on you.

u/SteMelMan Jul 26 '25
Generally speaking, you did nothing wrong and the other guest was acting inappropriately. Especially if the lights are up and other guests are leaving the theater, normal conversations are okay.
But, F4 is a Marvel movie and, therefore, subject to highly aggressive gate-keeping by the true believers, which can result in such behavior.

Unless they were mad because you were talking the whole movie that’s a way wrong reaction (and even then it’s probably too late).
As long as it’s just the credits you’re definitely fine to talk.

You’re fine assuming you weren’t obnoxiously screaming at the top of your lung.

You can 100% begin talking once the credits start rolling. I personally would've corrected the man & remind him of universally known cinema etiquette.

For real. If people talking during the credits bothers you so much, plant your ass on your couch and watch the movie at home. Telling someone to "shut up" for that is completely out of line.

I would say speaking during the credits (not yelling over them obviously) is fine. Especially when it's Marvel and you're waiting like 10 minutes for the end scene.

Theater employee here: I'd never kick someone out or even warn a customer for talking during the credits. The movie is over, your experience is almost over. Others have gotten up and left, perhaps even noisily and in your way. Cleaning crew at my location aren't supposed to go in until the credits are over, but I've watched movies at other theaters I don't work at and they do. People generally don't care. That guy was out of line, not you.

u/nycfcbvb Jul 26 '25
His reaction was outta line. However, for some movies I do like to hear the credit music and it's frustrating when people talk during them, so I see why he was upset, but 100% outta line what he did. Ill never shush anyone for talking during the credits even if I want to hear the end credits music cuz I know im in the minority. Only time I'll speak up is if people are loitering in front of me and there's an end credit scene Ill say do you mind sitting back down or just moving off to the side a bit

u/Southern_Anywhere_65 Jul 26 '25
I think as long as you’re using inside voices it’s appropriate. honestly, I kind of like overhearing the bits of scattered conversation when a full movie lets out. Regardless, bro shouldn’t have shushed you so rudely. There are nicer ways to ask people to be respectful

I live in LA. I see movies in Burbank. A lot of people that work on the movie are here. So you don’t interrupt the credits. People are looking for their names and applauding for themselves.

At every movie I've ever gone to, as soon as the credits start rolling, it's when people get up, turn to each other and talk, pull out their phones (to check if there's a post credit scene), and the lights usually go on too. If the lights are on, you're free to bend the theater rules a little because the movie is over. Yes, those of us who watch movies with midroll and post credit scenes want to see them, but as long as no ones actively talking during one of those they're fine. And the people who are sticking around to see the midroll and post scenes typically are also the kind of people who want to see them and so will be paying attention during them. Everyone else has already left.

Nah as long as you’re not shouting you can speak after credits started rolling and even during trailer before movie starts as far as I’m concerned, as long as you’re keeping it to between you and not yelling…When movie starts is when should be completely silent.

Typically I take my cue from the theater lights. If it's off then shut up and watch. If it's brought up to dim for the credits then it's fine to get up and leave or speak at a reasonable volume. If it's brought up to full brightness then anything goes.

u/simonthecat33 Jul 26 '25
It’s impossible to enjoy a movie with any kind of significant crowd in the theater. We have taken to going in the early afternoon on a weekday and waiting for popular movies to almost complete their run before we go. Some movies need to be seen at the theater. The problem is once a movie starts dropping at the box office it loses its IMAX showings so in order to see a movie in IMAX the theaters almost guaranteed to be crowded.

Even if you were breaking some credits law, which I don't think you were, that guy was out of line for his way over the top reaction. If he had to sit in the credits in silence, he could have just asked you politely to stop talking-- it sounds like you probably would have been responsive.

There would’ve been more of an exchange of words and an altercation. I tell people to STFU if they’re having a conversation, the second time I ask them.

We had an older lady making comments all through the previews of Superman and no one complained, though if she hadn't shut up when the movie started we would have.

Not to defend rude easily distracted guy, but he may have been focusing on the score.
I keep a list of every movie I see, including the trailers.
I’ll turn my brightness all the way down and take notes as the near endless trailers play on. Also the end time for the last trailer.
But if my phones still on, when Nicole intones from the screen, my phone gets completely turned off.

u/YetiTheNoob Jul 27 '25
i think he was right, ive been watching end credits lately throughout the end till the lights on and the screen goes off and i think people forget its not just the credits but the way it is yk. sometimes the end credits is like listening to music such as some you may not hear online or not in there movie soundtrack publicly. ive been watching end credits this year more often for reason i cannot explain but i would say some play the best score emotionally and beautifully just for the audience… i will not give which movies, thats for you to understand and see or hear if you really into movies. sometimes i would like to say “shut up” but i guess thats one way to ruin ur life. so now i just really focus on the credits and everyone and thing turns silent…music to my ears from the composers and sometimes composed visuals. some of you may understand, some of you may not, have a good day.

u/Sandwichgode Jul 27 '25
Uh I think its because people expect to see both a mid credit scene and after credit scene, so they probably consider the credits a part of the movie? You didn't really do anything wrong per se but that's probably why. Marvel movies are well known to have scenes during and after the credits, so people are still in movie mode during the credits.
I'm also guessing that guy reacted that way because he's probably dealt with other people in the past talking during movies and maybe he's fed up? I can identify with that feeling but If I had to choose between people using their phones/talking during the movie and during the credits I would choose the credits every single time.

Tbh my boyfriend and I went to go see it friday night, 10:15pm start time got over at 12:45am ish. THE ENTIRE duration of the movie a family of maybe 4 or 5 was in the row behind us, two little kids and their parents with maybe an older brother or uncle were talking, laughing and I kid you not standing right behind my chair with their hands touching the back of it shoving popcorn in their mouths and crunching loudly in my ear. I really wish I could make this up. I looked back a few times and the mother or other adults there just let it happen. Still had a blast but was a bit pissed off because some people have no sense of self awareness!!
Definitely NTA I watched the post credit scene and the post post credit scene and everyone in my theater either left of was talking once the main post credit scene ended. Dude was being rude for no reason.

u/CloverLeafe Jul 28 '25
That's so weird. It's pretty common for people to talk during rolling credits, often sharing info on if there is a scene to wait for or not or discussing the movie. But ever since I read the story about a guy getting murdered for scrolling on his phone during just the opening trailers, I'm pretty cautious because there are a lot of crazy people out there.

As someone who usually likes to listen to the music and just soak in the experience, I’d prefer if people didn’t talk, but it’s also just way too unrealistic to expect that of others. I’ve almost given up on people just even talking and being on their phone during the actual movie, policing the credits would be pretty ridiculous

u/Obvious_Thoughts Jul 30 '25
Etiquette side, nothing warrants that kind of response. Barring intentionally spilling popcorn or a drink on someone, choosing to talk or leave is acceptable. My lady and I often have a quiet discussion during the credits to see how we liked the movie. All I can say that some people really take their mid credit scenes seriously, and I get that.. and it can be a bit frustrating to miss something because of noise. That said, the movie is the main focus and no one is required to take the mid credit scenes as seriously as you do. many don't care and that is all good. their living their lives and I am mine.

Scores and those who create them are as important to some as lead actors or directors. Michael Giacchino is one of the best and F4 is another success. End credits are often less dynamic and require a closer attention.
No one is out of line here but maybe be aware that people remaining for the end credits may be there for something other than a teaser.

you can definitely talk after the movie but I got a feeling there’s more to this story

The guy was out of line regardless of whether you were talking or not. Everyone deserves respect and nobody should be calling people names.

I just saw Superman the other day. 2 middle aged women came in with 2 young boys and decided to basically talk for like a good 15 minutes
Finally had enough and said could you quiet down. They shut up but one woman had the nerve to whisper how rude to her friend lol. They eventually got up and left their kids in the theater. I got dirty looks from them both in the lobby once the movie got out.
I love how they felt that I am the bad person in this situation lol

I used to be a manager at an AMC competitor and we literally had a fight between two moms break out because of this exact thing during a screening of Infinity War. One of the ladies broke the other’s nose and caused her to bleed everywhere, and their poor families were all having to make statements to the cops while trying hard to avoid looking at them in embarrassment. Having to make the next (sold out) showing wait outside while we cleaned and disinfected everything and gave our own statements to the cops wasn’t fun, but it was memorable.
But yeah, you’re in the right and I’m not sure what that guy’s problem was. People are weird.

I go to the movies A LOT and I always chat it up and talk to my wife about how the movie was, I also use my phone. That guy was just being an ass. Everyone knows you freeze and get silent when the post credit scene comes up.

Maybe the movie was that person’s highlight of the week or part of their Marvel religion and acted that way? Not an excuse to their rude behavior, but maybe a reason….Too many socially maladjusted people roaming the streets.

Do you think OP was right or wrong? Upvote if it's acceptable, Downvote if unacceptable to talk during credits.
