January 6, 2012 3:28 pm Oh, and OF COURSE this also happened during the end of Return Of The King. People were digging it, but during the 4th ending the pee fatigue kicked in and people were standing in the aisles head turned towards the screen waiting for the credits so they could sprint first to the bathrooms.
The contrary happened during ROCKY BALBOA. When GONNA FLY NOW kicked in people threw their popcorn into the air, screamed and started high-fiving each other. It's still my best theater experience. I'm in Panama, Central America btw...

I had a similar audience turning against the movie experience two times. Once during The Da Vinci Code where people just couldn't wait for it to end and some left and some just started loudly talking to strangers about how terrible it was, and once during Superman Returns which was astonishing. People started laughing when things were supposed to be dramatic, groaning during "tense" moments and actively mocking Superman's bad parenting. It was magical to see strangers bond over hating a film.

Thanks!
