When the credits roll at the cinema

I don't get them. They race up, looking back at the screen and if something does come up, stand there gawping like a bunch of lemons.

You just wanna say "chill momma cas".

Of course each to their own and I guess boarRAB are about different opinions but if you want to experience the 'experience' of going to the cinema as opposed to the DVD what is the constant rush?

Get in as late as they can and desperate to get out as quickly as they can.

I arrive early thankyou very much and yet I leave when the credits roll. I'd find it laughable that somebody would choose to stay when the actual movie is over...As I arrive early I end up seeing about 30 minutes of adverts.To spend anymore unnecesary time just seems slightly unhealthy.

The point is as long as you purchase your cinema ticket than you've paid your dues by not supporting piracy. That is the best reward you can give the cast and crew. They don't know or care if you saw their names on the screen.

After approximately two hours of an uncomfortable cinema seat it's nice to be up and about, and you can think about the film as you stroll back to your car...There's really no need to continue sitting in the dark.

I always stay for the credits and end title music (often the best bit of a composed score) and hate it when projectionists pull the curtains across before the end so the copyright notice is hard to read as it's all wavy.
 
Same here.

I absolutely despise arriving late because i need to get the best seat possible for my viewing pleasure. And after 2+ hours of sitting in the dark, i like to get out as soon as possible!

Admittedly if it's the kind of film that is most likely to have an after credits scene, i might be tempted to stay. But i see no need to stay and watch the credits roll. And honestly if you've ever worked at a cinema, you'll understand how annoying it is when people do this!

But each to their own, i have nothing against the people who stay. I just prefer not to!
 
I get a seat near to the exit so I can bolt. I've seen the film, its fresh in my memory, I can mull it over later.

Only time I stay for the credits is if there a BANGING house track or if there are out-takes, as in Rush Hour or Liar Liar
 
When we go to seniors club me and my mate usually wait till all the other old dears have gone before we get up to go. They did the same when Mama Mia was shown, so most of them missed one of the best bits after the credits had rolled.
 
I don't sit through the credits, never mind all this nonsense about 'paying respect to the filmmakers'.

If there's something going on during the credits, I'll stay, otherwise I'm more than happy to leave and discuss the film with my frienRAB over a drink/meal.

An exception to the rule is a tear-jerker - I need a few minutes to make myself look presentable!
 
Me too if it's a good score. The film isn't properly over until the final credits have rolled and sometimes new closing themes are introduced, and old themes developed, in the music right at the end to wrap the whole thing up.

Some credits are really long though and I can understand why people leave especially if it's a light film with a throwaway pop score that isn't so integral to the plot and themes of the movie or simply if it wasn't a great movie.

Like others I'm a bit perplexed by the sudden leaping up and the rush to the door. Seems to have become more common in recent years, a bit like talking through the trailers (I'm guilty of that :)) I think it's partly because these elements of moviegoing have become so formulaic.
 
So when you read a book it includes details of the publishers catering team and the name of the guy who changed the lightbulb in the Agents office?

That would be a fairer comparison that a books notes.

I'd paid to see a story, and have no interest in the second Peruvion Location Grip and more than the delivery drivers name who supplies the cinema with popcorn.
 
There's often a song during the soundtrack of the film where I'm not sure who was singing it and so I wait for it to come up during the end credits; also, if there's been any animals in the film I always wait to see reference to the American Humane Association.

Both of the above always seem to be right at the end of the credits so it's often the case that we're the last ones to leave.
 
I don't sit throught the entire credits, but i do tend to wait until the cinema has cleared abit so i don't have to fight my way through to get to the door.

Mind you, it's one thing walking out of a cinema just as the credits start but it's no where near as bad as the people who get up and leave before the encore during a concert! :eek:
 
You can check on IMDB.Com for the tracklisting of a movie.

I find it odd that people would stay if the film has ended. In your own home watching the end credits seems normal but in a cinema it's odd...

Seems more normal being the first person to leave than the last
person to exit!
 
Back last Summer, I used to work in the cinema and to be honest, once the credits hit, we had to go in and clean, not really making the people watching the film feel like they can stay there. We only had around 5 minutes to clean each screen up (doesn't matter if it was a bombsite or not after a packed out show, 5 minues was the maximum) so the people were 'in the way' so to speak.

I totally understand wanting to stay until after the credits now, as when I wanted to sit until after Iron Man 2 to see the scene after the credits, I felt like I couldn't, as the lights were on brightly, and the cinema workers were shuffling around me trying to clean.

I reckon they should leave at least 5 minutes after the film has ended, to then go in, and clean. It's only curtious of said people wanting to stay until after the credits.
 
The trouble with people staying for as long as possible is that it really does inconvenience the staff. The cleaner's have a job to do and they shouldn't have to feel like people are delaying that...So within reason the considerate thing to do is leave when the film enRAB.
