Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out when I get a chance. As for the audience reaction, I was 14 when this film came out and honestly I don’t remember audience participation being really a “thing” at that time. People seemed pretty sedate in theaters around that period from what I can remember. I remember going to see this film on a Friday for opening weekend. I forget where it was as my friend’s dad took us to go and see it. Either way I remember walking out somewhat disappointed at the time, although my expectations at the time weren’t that high as I was more into video games at the time than I was film (that would have to wait another year or two for me to truly appreciate the art of film). I will say that in 2005 when Revenge of the Sith hit theaters, people seemed to cheer more than they did for the Matrix sequels, but I feel the best audience participation has been the past few years (exception this year, obviously), people seemed to respond to Rise of Skywalker, even with panned reviews. When people talk about theaters being a dead thing, I almost want to point them to the early 2000’s - late 2000’s as a time when people really didn’t seem to care that much about what was out and what was projected on the screen. Just my opinion though, sorry for the long reply.
