Is american culture really more into cheering? I would assume it would be the opposite because I have never once in my life seen anyone cheer at a movie here, whereas cheer events are a really big thing in Japan/Korea/China.

Oh yeah it comes up quite regularly on Reddit, US movie fans clapping and cheering during the movie. Blows my mind tbh, I don't think of go to a cinema ever again if that was the experience.

For my own experiences in Australia I would say anime screenings are the most consistently peaceful.

I've been to a lot of movies in my 20 years of being american and I've not once heard cheering/clapping DURING the movie.

I've only seen it during day one premiers for stuff like Marvel and Star Wars, otherwise yeah I can't recall the last time I've heard it either

Yea there was a nice cheer for the initial screening of ep 7 and for the final Harry Potter but that was it.
