Why do people clap in movie theaters?

Because they're stupid.

It's the way we've been trained in our society to show appreciation for a good

This CB. Attacking people is what CB does best

Who are you applauding to? Do you think they can hear you? They took your money and left long before the movie started.

Why do people write good things about movies online? It's highly doubtful

You're sharing it with your fellow moviegoers.

You're stupid. TNT told me to tell you that.

For a live performance...

Wait. I disagree. It does mean they’re stupid.

I'm guilty of this as well.

I equate this to laughing during a movie or a gasp or scream for example. The end of movie clap is weird imo.

The clap is no different from the laugh. It's just a reaction.

I don’t know...perhaps they enjoyed the show?

Lifi

I wasn't implying they were morons.

It’s an outward expression of an inner commitment 🙂

I haven't seen that since I was a kid in Vernal in the 80s

Happened yesterday when I saw Aquaman.

The first movie that I saw anybody ever cheered for was the original Rocky.

Probably an extension of why we laugh as well. The actors

Paying for it. Same reason as BYU football. TNT has paid for those tickets

TNT

TNT boos at BYU football games?! Shocking and unsettling.

Archaea

Jazz games too. Via your tax money TNT is paying their salaries

This will cause my therapist nightmares.

I only clap if the projectionist did a particularly good job.
