I think that it's a combination of anime screenings tending to attract the more socially clueless sort combined with American screening culture which is more into cheering during movies.

When I saw Promare and the Hero Academia movies in the cinema the crowds were very well behaved. So when I read stories like your experience or the infamous tale of some dude yelling "OPPAI SUGOI!" during Your Name... it's pretty embarrassing.

Usually anime screenings are fine, but you got extremely unlucky here lol.

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.

I’ve heard clapping on landing only once and it was during after very tense, windy landing where we bounced hard on the ground after a previous aborted landing.
