Last time you saw a movie when the theater was extremely busy? Did the large crowds dampen your experience?
Babies crying? Loud candy wrappers making noise in the middle of the film? Annoying teenagers? People constantly walking out of their seats? Cellphones?
Reason I’m asking this question is because I travelled to Iowa last month for a family reunion and saw Wonder Woman on a weekend night. It was a sold out showing. To my amazement, people ate their snacks quietly, children behaved politely and I didn’t hear anyone talk during the film (besides laughter and audible gasps because of what was happening on screen).
I saw another Saturday night showing with a packed theater after I got home from my trip. It honestly felt like I was in an alternate reality. Half the audience acted as though they were in their living room and almost everyone ate food like it was their last meal. I understand why people love eating popcorn during a movie (I do too) but nachos and crinkly wrappers drive me up the wall.
I live in the south, and I’m beginning to think the level of common courtesy of some people is a regional thing. Your thoughts?
