I saw it earlier tonight at the final 10:30pm showing and was surprised at the total lack of audience interaction. Every report and review I've read mentions how rowdy the crowd is and at my showing it was dead silence throughout most of the movie. This could be because I didn't see any 'fans' and noticed mainly couples with a few families as well. No one brought snakes in or yelled at the movie screen. Interestingly, the average age was probably in the 40s (rare for a 10:30 screening?) and I don't recall a single teenager or college student which is what I imagined this target audience to be. There were several group laughs during the death scenes and one liners. I may see this again tonight (Saturday) at a different theater to see if the experience is any different as from what I've read we had the most 'mannered' bunch, which as someone pointed out, makes this movie a lot less fun. I'd really love at least one 'movie party' type atmosphere this year and so far it hasn't happened.
