How often does a crowded theater erupt into applause at the end of a movie?

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2014)

Greatly impressed that Angelina Jolie had the creative vision, courage, and sheer force of will to bring this inspirational story to the big screen — despite the chorus of naysayers who said it would almost certainly be a box office bust. I enjoyed seeing it immensely — and being in a theater that erupted spontaneously into applause at its conclusion because they were so inspired and uplifted by its powerful themes. My friends who have seen this moving film have reported similar responses from those in attendance — ranging from loud applause at the end to everyone in the theater standing up and applauding for extended periods of time. I mean really, how often does this sort of thing happen at movie theaters? Keep up the great work, Angelina. Hopefully, we'll be seeing more of your films soon.
