Heaps of festival films and premieres.

But I don't think I've ever seen a New Zealand audience applaud anything that was just a mainstream release playing in a cinema, even on opening weekend.

A View To A Kill got a lot of random yelling though.

Yep. I have access to press screenings and 9/10 people clap at the end. Even it was an ok movie.

Making a film is hard work, even an ok film.

I'm not saying it's not hard work. However, I only clap when the director or producers are there. And as an indie director myself, I prefer it that way.

@3laws

I thought that's the kind of screening we were talking about. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
