My opening-day audience was very vocal during the previews. Harry Potter got loud cheers of approval, The Butterfly Effect got murmurs of interest, and The Mask sequel was booed like Barry Bonds at a Dodgers game.
But everyone was quiet during the movie, apart from reaction noises - muted squeals of delight at the appearance of Aragorn or Legolas, laughter at the subtle funny bits, wild applause anytime a hobbit or elf or dwarf or woman kicked ass in any way (though in some cases the clapping started before praise-worthy action was even completed, which got to be annoying given the large number of praise-worthy actions).
