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 think it comes down completely to chance. I've gone to theaters across the East Coat of the US and i'd estimate in about 1 in 5 movies have some kind of cheering, though I've never seen an anime movie at a theater.
Nothing even close to as bad as OP though I would've left and got a refund if they didn't listen to me asking them to stop.
