| I've been seeing this a lot and I want to know if this is actually a thing American's do after they've watched a movie at the cinema. Can anyone from the USA confirm this? Any urges to start clapping? I'm very interested. |
| No... people usually just shuffle out of the theater. |

| Well, I'm not from the US. But here in the Netherlands we only clap if the movie was a very good movie. I assume it's the same case in the US. |

| I don't live in the US, but where I live, in Italy, usually people mock every type of films they're watching, talking with loud voices and discuss every fucking scene of the film believing to be great cinema critics, that's why I don't go to cinema anymore. |
| I'm Australian and I don't go to the cinema often but the last time I went, I saw Divergent. People clapped. It was weird. |

| I live in Australia too, and I want to see this. I thought it was just an American thing...I get clapping to a performance but a movie? That's strange. |
| What's the point anyway? Even if it's the best movie you've ever seen who are you even clapping for? The cinema employees for pressing a button to screen the movie? I mean it's not like anyone present when you watch it actually had something to do with making the flick, so they don't really deserve applaus. |
| I heard they only clap in (stage) theaters but not in cinemas. |
 |
| Of course they do. Also, they do it after bearing witness to a heartfelt speech or courageous performance. |
  |
| Don't know. Not from the U.S. But in Australia we just slither out. |
   |
| On a serious note though, it's more likely that someone will leave early or be heard mumbling to himself about hidden political themes than the entire theater clapping. |

| It doesn't make sense to applaud for those responsible for the work if they aren't present. Any "clapping" takes place over social media. |
 Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. |
| Only occasionally. If someone times it just right and the movie was decent they can get an applause going. I think you could get the same affect anywhere else though if you timed your first clap right. |
| If you pretend to feel a certain way, the feeling can become genuine all by accident. — Hei |
| I don't clap and I don't see many people do it either, well I've only been to the theater like 10~ times in my life so my cases aren't exactly fact. |
 |
| People clapped after the Captain America 2 ending. |
| I have never seen anyone clap at a movie. Maybe it's because I'm Canadian |
 |
| I remember it happening with The Avengers, everyone loved it. Then again, I'm not sure if Miami counts since it's closer to being considered North Cuba rather than the U.S haha. |
 |
| Never been to the movies where people clapped. |

zoknimano said: I think this is the answer. I've never experienced people clapping at any regular movie showing.It's a premiere thing, I reckon. |
| I'm going to see Godzilla when it premiers in Australia, if it is a premier thing then I'll know it's not just American's who clap on impulse. |
| Yes. They do. I went to see Captain America the other day, and people in the theater clapped after every scene when Cap beat an enemy. Maybe it just happens in the south. |
| One time I went to argo in the middle of the day on a Tuesday, I was the only person there. I yelled the entire movie. |
| I have really funny thoughts that no one will get to hear. |
| I've never seen someone give a standing ovation over as a movie. Actually i don't think i've heard anyone clap before. |

 |
| nope - american - never seen it although there was some yelling during Misery lol. "get that bitch!" |
| I used to work in a movie theater and I saw it every once in a while. Not exactly common, but it happens. |
| Nah. Maybe sometimes after the premiere of an epic movie with a completely packed theater you get some people clapping but not really. I've seen cheering and stuff when there's a sick scene or cameo in a packed theater during a movie like the one Hulk scene in the Avengers where he tosses Loki around. |
 |
| What are you basing this on? Seeing american movie characters clapping at the end of movies in said movies? No, I've never seen it happen. |
 |
| Yes because we're stupid. What a stupid thing to do. Silly clapping Americans. |
| I usually clap, because I'm congratulating myself for sitting through it without falling asleep. Also how many bloody Aussie's are on this site honestly. |

| The only time you are going to hear or see people clapping is if you are a movie that has been highly anticipated for a very very long time at a midnight release or opening day. But honestly if you are going to a midnight release for something llike. When you see people camping out and dressing up for the screening then yeah. You're gonna hear some cheering on the level of some sports event. When I went to see the last three Harry Potter films there was constant cheering whenever someone got their ass whooped. At least that's how it goes where I live. |
| iv seen it a couple times, theres was quite a big clap for the lego movie and wind rises |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| A more fundamental question would be: Do Americans use the bathroom ? OT: I've never been to America. I wouldn't know would I ? |

| Yes, everyone stands up and claps after anything interesting happens in the movie and at the end everyone starts clapping while shooting their guns into the air, then they continue to clap and cheer as they exit the theater into their hummers. No, I've never experienced someone clapping at the end of a movie. |
| No. Nice Celestia picture! She's such a great character. |
| We do it sometimes on an opening midnight showing. I don't typically see it on any other occasion though. |

| This never happens and has never happened at any movie I've been to. I never knew people thought Americans did this. |
| Been to a lot of movies and never once did the audience clap even when it was good. |
