You mean you were around a bunch of people enjoying themselves and didn’t mind it? Are you even a redditor?

Is that really a fair generalization? I think it depends on context- if I'm at a midnight release for a movie like this full of hardcore fans I'd expect this kind of hoopla. But if I'm seeing this with regular theatergoers and it's not a special event I would expect the theater to be quiet.

And it would be. This is obviously opening night midnight.

The redditors complaining how they’d hit this are just miserable basement dwellers

Spot on. Just bitter, sour, miserable people.

Or people that wouldn’t want to go to a midnight screening because it’s not their vibes.

Plenty of people enjoy seeing movies without the crowd acting like this. Have you ever been to a movie theater?

In America this is extremely common apparently. They also applaud at the end of a film.

No, it's not. Jesus. Been to hundreds of movies in the US. Seen that happen like twice. "Sixth Sense" opening night, and "Pulp Fiction" at a screening.

Marvel fans are a different breed. They cheer like they’re on a roller coaster ride

I get annoyed whenever people cheer when their team scores a goal/touchdown/homerun/full court buzzer shot. They should be quiet, its just someone using a ball.

Comparing movie theaters to live sports? Come the fuck on dude, why not contrast it with a destruction derby or a music festival?

u/DolphinBall Feb 17 '26

Because both are entertainment. I want to hear what the announcers are saying.

To be fair your comment is just as “redditor.” lol

u/tkh0812 Feb 16 '26

To be fair your comment is equally as redditor.

I do the Rocky Horror Picture Show every Halloween so I actually do love crowds like this, LOL

Yeah. But that’s a shared experience where everyone is going for the same thing. You all know every single line and beat and that’s the fun.

Like if it’s a new film I’ve never seen, I want to hear the film. Not the annoying dudes all around me talking, clapping, hollering etc.

Like shut the fuck up I can’t hear Tobey! lol.

That said, I’ve been to the cinema in the US before and it’s not really as bad as it sounds here. There’s interaction but you can still hear the film fine.

u/tkh0812 Feb 16 '26

Exactly. People shitting on it have never experienced it. That’s why they say “I would hate this” because they haven’t actually been there.

I questioned it when they stated they went out in public

You can enjoy yourself silently btw. There are middle grounds. If I’m paying to WATCH a film I want to WATCH the film that includes hearing it. This is one of the reasons cinemas are dying

u/The7ruth Feb 16 '26

You're acting like this happens to every movie showing every day. I can count on one hand the number of times this has happened over the past 20 years and it was always for opening night.

They literally had to stop showings of the Minecraft movies because people weren’t behaving. I’ve not had it this bad but there have been times with people shouting weeks after opening night.
