The only I movie where I ever experienced applause Skyfall

Alright well if you ever watch it at home, make sure it's turned up super loud, and smash your remote so that you can't turn it down.

 

I still can't imagine what it's like for an audience to actually applaud a movie. Next time I'm in the US I really need to go to a cinema, it sounds hilarious.

 

 

You should watch a movie in India. Audiences applaud, whistle, throw money at the screen and sometimes even dance to the songs in the aisles.

The only times I've seen an audience applaud are when I saw The Princess and the Frog in college and when I go to film festivals.

Honestly, we're usually quite spoiled by quality films this month. The reality is the late-expansion Oscar bait is always going our to be "quality" haul in January. There's every incentive for studios to get their film a screening gig in December for Oscar consideration before they "officially" release it in a less crowded market this month. I don't think there's need to do any hand-wringing over whether they actually open this month or not.

 

Paddington is somewhat noteworthy in not having a limited release, though it did have awards screeners if riczhang is to be believed.

What I more meant by quality in general was audience reactions. We just got a 90M opener in January, something that not even December has achieved yet.

I just realized that this opened higher than any Bond film ever. And bigger than any of the LOTR or Hobbit did for 3-day. Just crazy!

Now now. I work with lots of foriegn students at my job, and I went out with a bunch of British college kids to see The Avengers, and they clapped like crazy during the Hulk smash Loki scene.

And since it wasn't in 3D, it definitely sold more tickets on OW than any movie not named Mockingjay Part 1 from 2014.

Just insane. And I thought 2014 wasn't going to have that "Frozen-type" break-out... Well it happened, but in 2015.

How long does this baby have IMAX for?

How long does this baby have IMAX for?

 

Till Game of Thrones on January 30 at most theaters and till Jupiter Ascending on Feb 6th at the rest.

Once American Sniper ended, the dude in front of me shot up, gave a clap and said "aight, lets go crack a beer."

Lol at "Mid Americans"

[#ED]

Sunday update?

[Dingdong123]

Damn what happened to American Sniper?! That was an out-of-this world opening!

And yeah, Big Hero 6 aint topping DOFP. They need to re-expand it like what they did with WIR back then to help it topple Wall-E as #1 Sci-Fi Animation flick.

[Donald]

It increased that's why their isn't a sun update .....

I'm just glad the so-called hero didn't take Neo's OW record.

"I took my twelve year old son to see American Sniper today. I believe you're never too young to learn what sacrifice, dedication and devotion to Family, Faith, Community, and Country means....and whobetter to learn it from than an American hero! Thank you Chris Kyle, your legend lives on."-CMH

Yup people are taking there kids

I took my 10 year old daughter. Explained to her hero's aren't guys that play with a ball or a girl that sings on a stage. It's guys like this who are willing to go thru this for us.

Took my 9 yr old totally agree! Great story Great Man!

You're not going to be a happy camper when a masochist takes it in February.
