It's a flippant statement but it certainly has truth in it. You're sitting in a dark room staring at a screen that fills your entire vision. You're there to either follow an interesting story, laugh at funny jokes, appreciate good acting/direction or to gawp at action. Most of the time you can't interrupt the experience without missing something of it.

Sports events? Every few minutes something interesting might happen, there are ad breaks every 30 seconds, you're drunk out of your mind and there's not a whole lot that requires your attention. You can shout, clap or talk all you like and nothing much is lost. In the UK people mostly use it as an excuse to drink and punch each other.

In a cinema, if you don't shut the gently caress up you are ruining it for someone else. Clapping during the credits? Stupid but fine. During the actual film? Get the gently caress out. Laughing at jokes is fine, that's a partially involuntary response and it's the intended result.

How little self control do you have if you shout out every time something entertaining happens on a screen?

Of course how else can you appreciate the warmth and depth of the picture?

Plus the acoustics bouncing off of another person is such a hassle.
