I wish theaters would have strict talking-allowed and talking-banned rooms if they survive the pandemic. People talking during movies is single-handedly enough of a reason for me to stop going to a movie theater
See an angry voice mail from one customer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L3eeC2lJZs, or the playlist with a long list of PSAs, many of which include celebrities, asking you to please not talk: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpX5OvrhWl9I59CYEx_Zt...
Props to anyone who can get Neil Gaiman to make a please no talking PSA in the form of an Agnes Nutter prophecy.
Even if people weren't talking to each other, there's a lot of low volume conversations happening with the waiters and people use their phone to illuminate menus and to see what they are eating.
Depends entirely on the movie. If it's yet another stupid superhero movie, people yelling at the screen makes it much better.
