Depends where in Europe. People do laugh in cinemas and sometimes clap in the UK or Germany, for example (less than let's say in California, though).

- eru 3y agoGermans also clap when their plane lands in Mallorca.
- newaccount74 3y agoIs that still a thing? I remember this was a thing when I was a kid in the 90ies, but I haven't experienced this in a long time.
- rob74 3y agoI have been living in Germany for over 20 years now, and never once have I seen somebody clap at a movie. I mean, it makes more sense to clap after your airplane lands, at least that will make the pilots and flight attendants feel good, but who are you clapping for in a cinema? The projectionist (who's probably not even there anymore?). Having said that, there is a kind of "continuously showing movie" in Germany where the audience is very much encouraged to react during the film: there is a cinema in Munich that has been showing The Rocky Horror Picture Show continuously for over 40 years (not non-stop though), where people sing along, throw rice, dance etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_Lichtspiele https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_Lichtspiele https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/museum-lichtspiele-wie-muenchen-die-rocky-horror-picture-show-feiert-1.3545614 https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/museum-lichtspiele-wie-...
- RandomLensman 3y agoMaybe it is the type of movie or whether it was a dubbed or orginal version of the movie (changes audience mix)? Definitely been in cinemas in Germany with clapping.
