There are big cultural differences in this type of behaviour. In Finland, I would estimate the percentage of peers during a movie in a theater is probably 1-2%.

There are big cultural differences in this type of behaviour. In Finland, I would estimate the percentage of peers during a movie in a theater is probably 1-2%. No one really plans around it and it's seen as quite annoying behaviour which is avoided. In Canada, where I lived for a while, the number was probably 10-20%. It was more of a norm and just a thing that a lot of people did.
