I now fear going to see The Conjuring 2 in my movie theatre...
I really hate such people who can't shut the fuck up.
This reminds me of when I watched Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. There were some kids sitting in front of me. And they laughed every half fucking second they got. Now the theory in Australia here is that since movie tickets are slightly pricey, only people who enjoy and appreciate movies will go to the theater and watch the film with respect to others. But that's not always the case, and when shit like this happens, it annoys the fuck out of me. Trust me, rarely will I get annoyed about something. However, annoying movie goers is one of the things that frustrates me the most.

Shitposting starts at a very early age here, you should know that as a fellow Australian.
I commented on this asking what people thought of people having hushed jokes and conversation throughout the adverts but shutting up when the movie starts. That's what we do. Had a relatively positive response. I also mentioned that in the new Star Wars people cheered and clapped when they saw the Falcon and when it ended, that wasn't annoying that was an amazing community experience.
Here in Britain (or at least in the cinemas I go to) this is a non issue, nobody talks or anything and if they do the yet shushed to all hell by other movie goers. That, or the cinema is empty even on Saturdays at midday, which is as depressing as it is awesome.
This is why I try to get matinee showings on weekdays. Literally the SINGLE time I went to an evening showing on a saturday (which happened to be The Conjuring) it was the same story of a guy shouting stupid """funny""" quips at the screen and all of his friends were backing him up. At least people who go to daytime showings tend to be courteous types, e.g. self-conscious parents who take their toddlers, or, y'know, people who specifically came at this time so that they could enjoy the movie :v:
I just hope I never meet guys like those two lumberjacks he mentioned in the video.

I recommend going to try and see a popular horror film on its opening weekend. I've stopped going because the audience was just insufferable.
the solution is going to theaters in the middle of the day or really late night screenings
that seems to work as a good enough filter for people who just got off work and decided to go unwind at the movies for the fuck of it without giving a shit about the movie
in my experience going to the last possible screening of the movie at like 1AM leaves most of the theater empty and those who do come tend to be quiet and understanding
any film that's particularly reliant on atmosphere is usually best experienced in the privacy of your own home, horror films especially. well, at least [I]quality[/I] horror films. Pop horror like Saw and the current round of Paranormal Activity thrives off of audience interaction (relying on jump scares to send a ripple through the audience) but stuff like It Follows usually benefits from the feeling of isolation that you get by watching it alone / with a small group.
with the general unpredictability of audience reactions (never know if someone will be loud or not) it's usually safer to do any serious watching at home. that way you minimize the impact of other peoples' perceptions and opinions regarding the film until the very end, if you decide to speak about it with anyone.

going to see a film at a theater is an "event" in a certain sense; I'm not saying that being annoying in a theater is acceptable, however it is a component to the idea of collectively watching a specific piece of media. audience participation is a really ancient sort of thing that is endemic to more than just film.
Seeing a movie for me is certainly an event, like me and my friends grab some lunch and chat while we eat, head into the movie and laugh and joke whilst taking the piss of the ads then shut up and enjoy the movie when it starts. Afterwards we'll talk about the movie, maybe over some more food and drinks. This is usually quite awesome cause we usually have pretty different opinions. Like I hated Civil War and it was in one friend's top movies ever. Arsehats talking through the movie sure does detract from that experience because it'd be like some random stranger coming and stealing a chip and taking a bite out of our burgers every now and then at the part where we eat before the movie.
Fortunately we've never had that, unless you count us, since we once got angrily shushed for joking through a BMW advert that was literally over 4 minutes long.
My pet peeve is people who are clearly checking the time on their phone, or seeing if they received a text.
I have pretty wide glasses and a cellphone screen in a dark room might aswell be a fog light in my face.
I've never encountered annoying movie goers, thank christ.
Went to see Avengers on the second week. The audience would snicker at all of the sarcastic moments and whooped at the amazing action scenes during the alien invasion. It was tame, but good god the TF4 experience was AWFUL! Everyone there laughed like hyenas at the worst jokes even the small quips, and shouted "'Merica!" and other USA memes when Optimus came in riding on Grimlock in China. One kid behind me kept kicking my seat's head rest and messed my neck up. For seeing Deadpool, it was all fine and dandy until I saw what looked like a 6 year old moving up and down the row in front of me. Didn't Ryan Reynolds say that kids shouldn't even glimpse this movie in theaters?
The only time I've had people make noise in a theatre was when I went to a marathon of the entire Star Wars series for the premire of TFA.
But it wasn't all that obnoxious and added to the community experience for that. Like when Ackbar yells "IT'S A TRAP" and everyone laughed.
Little stuff like that.
One time I was seeing the Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and there were 2 parties in the theater with me. One was a probably 60+ year old man dressed as indiana jones practically squealing to see the movie, the other was 4 teenage girls squealing at their phones every five minutes and taking calls during the movie.
About half way through, the 60 year old creepy indy fan guy stands up and bellows at the top of his lungs...
SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
And sits down fuming.
Peace and quiet ensued.
