Does any one from the middle east or with more experience here than me, could explain me which are the rules to clap or not to clap in the movies???

Last Nite I was watching The Hitman.
1. If he kill someone people clap.
2. If Somebody try to kill him but he still alive people clap.

Yesterday was my first experience at the movie theater after hearing a lot of stories from my friends about People talking and shouting during the movie and other things that really does not allow you to watch and enjoy the movie.

One clapping rule that I know is when a plane is landing the passengers clap to the captain, but only all people used do that. and only in few places in the world like Spain, Italy and Latin America.

So anyone call tell me the rules of clapping in the movies?

When I was in the movie my friend told that was about a game. but actually its a good movie. the only thing that i would like more its know more about the organization he works, they did not explain you more about for who he works just that he is a type of agent (cleaner) but the movie its about 7 of 10.

Not bad for 30 riyals.

maybe you can experience the clapping thing too and join them.

i don't see any problems if they clapped.

you are not in a classroom, library or boardroom.

it is a movie house. they were just enjoying the movie. for as long as it is not harmful and disturbing the flow of the movie. let them be.

i believe that there is a VIP section at city centre wherein you pay QR 100 for a movie.

for sure there wont be no clapping inside because not everybody wanted to spend QR100 in a single film.

try to relax when you're inside a movie house. focus on the story line and in your popcorn. not on the clapping.

There are so many rules to follow in this part of the world and adding restrictions to the clapping inside a movie house is not a good idea.

Chill!

The only time I have ever experienced people clapping in a movie was during Independence Day. The entire theater bust out into applause and cheering when the White House was blown up!!

I used to clap in primary school many years ago at the start and end of a movie. The cue given by my class teacher after the reel on the old fashioned movie projector was mounted painstakingly. Don't remember clapping ever since.
