Really the true answer is that the whole "crowd clapping / packed theater" are usually posted by people who attended the premiere or a midnight thursday opening special (AKA drunks heh).
The rest of people see movies like normal. It's not a premiere or midnight opening. It's just a weekend night. Usually, if it's an excellent movie. the people might stand up and applaud at the end, but again not the whole hoopla that is involved with special events.
I've been to movie premieres or special showings. A: the fans tend to be more hardcore / dedicated and will be pumped. B: They're also probably more intoxicated than people at a normal theater and C: It's always an event (Maybe a Guest Star introducing it / a theme party / etc.)
As far asfor me, I think I was the only one in the theater besides the film editor. I went and watched it at a small theater at 12:00 on tuesday, probably was 30 people in the whole movie theater total (4 screens). So was really cool. enjoyed it way more than the crowded ones. It was just me and a screen that is bigger and louder than my home TV lol
