Fair, I think I’m pretty lucky as my local theatre is an independent one and somehow attracts only movie people rather than talkers or phone folks.

Though I will say a comedies and horrors are better with dozens or hundreds of people. Something really satisfying about hearing a genuine terrified scream on a jump scare or a crowd roar with laughter.

Again, I’m fully lucky with my crowd I suppose. I did have a terrible experience awhile ago in a different, non indie theatre.
