I can't remember a movie I've seen in a theatre in the past 15 or so years where people didn't clap afterward.
I don't get it. Nobody who made the film is present. Who the hell are you applauding?
Pour one out for symbolic gestures lol
I think if everyone has had a good time and it's been a good atmosphere, it can be a fun way to round it off.
Eg I saw the South Park movie in the cinema, and the place was just rocking that night. Mostly a student crowd I think, very raucous laughter, almost more like a gig than a screening. The applause was huge, and it was only partly for the movie itself.
I've been to a few where it's been like that (not quite like that, but not far off) and it's always felt appropriate.
Other times I've seen it happen, and it's been a bit weird, but I don't mind it. I think it's great that people enjoyed their experience enough to be pumped up enough to show it.
I think the theater clapped when I saw Infinity War, and it felt pretty appropriate. The whole theater was clearly very invested the whole time.
