What's the biggest audience reaction you've seen in a movie theater?

Remembered when Borat was in theaters and I can't remember a crowd laugh harder than when Borat went to go talk to those black guys in Atlanta.

Rogue One Vader hallway scene was pretty loud or when Toby Maguire appeared in NWH.

The final battle in endgame when everyone shows back up

I’m not a marvel nerd but that was cool and the theater was absolutely hyped up as it was unfolding

Wait Until Dark, 1960s. When Alan Arkin’s character leaps out of the shadows to grab Audrey Hepburn. Every woman in the theater screamed. Alien, 1970s when John Hurt’s critter made it’s entrance (or would that be exit). Everyone in the cinema was too shocked to scream, but people were jumping around in their seats blubbering.

EDIT: I forgot to include this: Blazing Saddles. Theater full of college students and it was so non-stop hilarious people could not control themselves.

Eddie Murphy - Raw

Wasn't even his best stuff but by then he got uproarious reactions from everything that came out of his mouth.

I saw “Independence Day” opening day. The initial attack (White House, Empire State Building, and Tower Records blowing up) with the spreading blast, right at the end, when the dog jumps to safety at the last second, was the biggest reaction I’ve seen in a movie. A ton of clapping, cheering, etc.
It wasn’t just for the dog, it was for the entire slow motion wave, spreading out across the cities.

Endgame when Cap pulled Mjolnir to him.

Then when Spidey specifically swung into the reunion frame.

Then when Cap finally said, "Avengers... Assemble."

I saw the Ring in a theatre in Decatur Alabama, me and my buddies were one of a handful of white people in the theatre. It was the most fun movie experience I've ever had, people yelling OH HELL NO, andd laughing at each other. At one point in the movie I think when she crawled out of the TV, three larger sized ladies got up and ran out of the aisle, basically jumping over me and my friends and ran the frick out of the theatre and did not come back. It was awesome.

I went to see The Grudge 2 in Jackson (back when it had a theater) and there was a lot of yelling at the first reveal of the monster.

Other than that, Captain America’s team showing up in Infinity War got a big response.

Sean Connery's appearance as Richard the Lionheart at the end of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

Apollo's death in Rocky IV.

Multiple times in the first Naked Gun.
