    I went with my friends on July 1st, expecting to be the only people in suits in an empty cinema, but it was sold out and 90% of attendees were in suits. It was amazing, everyone started applauding every time someone did something impressive or there was a butt on screen. And a standing ovation was given at the end.

    My brother and a bunch of his friends dressed up and went to a late night showing.
    He said the theater was packed with other teens who had the exact same idea but that the vibe inside was pretty uncertain at first as no one knew exactly how hard they were supposed to commit to this joke. Showing up in formal attire was as far as they got. But then my bother began clapping whenever a cameo or particularly dramatic scene happened and everyone else started joining in.
    The mood was set after that. No one was unnecessarily loud or rowdy but they cheered and applauded whenever a worthy moment happened as you would in a very hype film. It was all just a good time. My brother concluded that it ended up being the most hype theater he had been in since Endgame. Endgame was the better film he said, but conceded that he probably heard more applause overall when watching Rise of Gru.

    I went to one of the first screenings on July 1st, and a sizable amount of people in the theater had dressed up. When the movie started, they all knew to cheer until the actual movie started, when people didn't know how hard to commit to the bit. Then, we absolutely ran the theater. My four friends and I would cheer at sny significant moment in the movie and then the whole theater would erupt in cheering. Greatest movie experience in my life.

    Probably the worst offenders are the ones of people jumping around in front of the screen during the movie and throwing bananas. Not only are they ruining the movie other people outside the meme paid for, but are making cleanup and control hell for the employees just trying to do their job for little pay.
