It really was one of the greatest theatre experiences I’ve ever taken part in and I wish I could go back to that night. Endgame opening night with that crowd was magical and I doubt we will ever have something like that again.

two2teps2025-09-26 15:38

The audience reaction when Steve picked up the hammer was only dwarfed by "on your left" a few minutes later.

ubutterscotchpine2025-09-26 16:51

The hammer part is such a stunning scene, but the ‘on your left’ and culmination of everyone showing up still brings me to tears with every rewatch.

woodysixer2025-09-29 10:35

I remember one day walking in my son watching Endgame on the TV, but he was just watching the Portals scene over and over again. It’s such a dopamine hit.

dean158922025-09-26 20:55

And then "Avengersss Assemble" a few minutes later

katikaboom2025-09-26 21:27

Someone in my theater that was definitely me yelled "oh holy shit yeah!" when he said it. Entire theater erupted, it was an amazing experience

XecoX2025-09-27 05:36

All I can say is that I believe we all collectively had a nerdgasm during that scene

dean158922025-09-27 07:02

A cannon event

badken2025-09-27 09:36

Yeah, especially after the tease a few movies before that.

"Avengers... A" (cut to black)

Putrid_Term93712025-09-27 21:33

Exactly in Age of Ultron

stolenfires2025-09-28 08:59

In my theater, everyone lost it when Spidey swung into the scene.

Cripnite2025-09-26 22:14

“On your left” still gets me every time.

two2teps2025-09-26 23:34

[deleted]

XecoX2025-09-27 05:42

Yeah seeing everyone back and fighting that shot was fantastic, it will live 4ever in my memory.

IAmBadAtInternet2025-09-27 01:06

I don’t have great hearing so I didn’t even hear Sam’s lines in the theater. So I just about shat myself when the portal opened

Recon12122025-09-27 02:30

I will never get over that being spoiled for me. I had to wait like a week to see it because it came out right at the end of the semester and I wanted to be home to see it with friends. I even asked if a professor would let me take a final early. He sat with me one on one to let me take it. I opened YouTube to see a video “was captain america really worthy” like 3 days after it came out. What a shitty video to make. Who puts that kind of spoiler in the title.

Lisanne1105962025-09-27 09:14

I had to wait 2 days to be able to go see it and I got spoiled in the comment section of a freaking recipe I had open to make for dinner. It was just a short sentence but I read it before I realized what it was. All it said was "Tony and Nat die". The fact people are so miserable they have to ruin things like that for others still makes me mad. I'm sorry you got spoiled, too.

ehtseeoh2025-09-27 15:25

My theater turned into a fucking zoo after “on your left”, I loved every minute of it.

doubleoned2025-09-26 17:24

The only thing I have experienced close to it was Deadpool/Wolverine but it still wasn't as awesome as Endgame.

SoloRemy2025-09-26 17:45

No, but “FLAME ON!” was a damn close second.

gestalto2025-09-26 18:03

I mean, each to their own, but this is like comparing a Ferrari to a Reliant Robin to me lol.

SoloRemy2025-09-26 18:21

Is Jeremy Clarkson driving both cars?

I_oonyI_ovegood2025-09-26 20:30

I'd say the closest second was Andrew Garfield's entry in No Way Home, followed extremely closely by Tobey Maguire's entry.

Most of the stuff in Deadpool vs Wolverine was already revealed before the movie came out; if anything, people were expecting even more cameos (Jean, Cyclops, Raven, etc). And though not-Cap's reveal and **Flame On** did get a huge reaction, it was still nowhere close to the three Spider-Men swinging together.

dicjones2025-09-27 05:35

For me I would say it was Return of the King. That final battle was so unbelievably epic. I think everyone in the theatre had their jaw on the floor. Until Endcame came along, RofK was the best experience in a movie theatre.

BastianHS2025-09-26 17:57

All opening night:

The Avengers

Infinity war/ End game

The dark knight

The matrix

No way home

Django

American Pie

The hangover

Anchorman

Lotr trilogy

The phantom menace (but not the sequels lol)

Avatar/Way of Water

All amazing experiences! Opening night movies fucking rule. When I saw the avengers, there was a 10 year old sitting next to me dressed like thor lol. The whole theater did the hands in the air for the regal rollercoaster.

Retro-scores2025-09-27 05:01

In AoTC When Yoda faught Count Dooku and was jumping around my theater went crazy.

I went to midnight showings to 99% of your list.

FirewaterTenacious2025-09-28 14:00

But not the sequels LOL

Bigpappa362025-09-26 19:40

Infinity war was the better movie but endgame was the better experience in theaters. I remember my jaw dropping when Thor cut thanos head off in the first scene I was like wtf is the next 2 hours gonna be 🤣.

I can’t wait for technology to allow you relive memory’s and km hitting those two first lol

justalittleparanoia2025-09-26 21:58

Infinity War and Endgame were a must and absolutely did not let me down. They were truly an experience after building up to the whole snap ordeal. The way the audience went dead silent after it happened and then coming back a year later when Endgame was released to finally see the aftermath. I would absolutely see them both again in theaters if they rereleased them!

indianajoes2025-09-27 00:35

Yeah I watched Endgame on opening night as part of a double bill. Infinity War started at like 9pm and Endgame at midnight. I was so hyped for that film. Watching it at midnight, you were surrounded with die hard fans and it was such a special experience. I'm in the UK and a lot of the time we don't do big reactions for stuff. We're supposed to keep it all in and not make any noise. Not that night though. We laughed, we cried, we went nuts at all the right moments. I remember when Cap grabbed Mjolnir, I just started clapping along with half the audience. I didn't even realise I was going to do it. My body just took over.

It was one of the greatest experiences of my life and I will remember it for many many years. I went back to see the film like 6 times because I just wanted to relive that whole thing again and again. Even now, I'll occasionally watch videos like [this](https://youtu.be/7DzVIafBMpE?si=iIhB6Hrjuk_AuKxf) to remind myself of how it was

OakleyNoble2025-09-27 00:48

I hadn’t really experienced anything like it.. I went a total of 5 times.. just everyone screaming for these superheroes that I love.. was so magical

Flying_Mohawk2772025-09-26 09:08

Those years were probably the greatest cinematic experience there will ever be. I don’t think it will be topped.

The hype for Infinity War and Endgame was insane. It was such a cool time to be alive!

Advanced_Daikon_31572025-09-26 14:06

ya thanks for depressing buddy

Retro-scores2025-09-27 04:58

We’re really lucky Covid held out for End Game.

sunny_xo2025-09-26 09:26

That and civil were the best cinema experiences i’ve had. Very uncommon for people to make noise in the cinema in the UK but were so many claps/cheers for thor and spidey.

Its why i love cinema tbh

Mambo_Poa092025-09-26 11:05

Damn that would be annoying

Training_Pirate10002025-09-26 17:05

Yeah, but if you’re there on opening weekend, you expect cheers to get hype with the crowd. People were usually quiet for the serious moment, such as Gamora and Natasha being sacrificed, and Tony’s Final Snap.

Son-Of-A_Hamster2025-09-26 17:25

This is exactly why I always go on opening night... in Civil War when the QUEENS title card popped up people went nuts. Same with Cap picking up the hammer. Tobey showing up in Spiderman was a good one too.

And yea, you could hear a pin drop when Natasha got yeeted

gestalto2025-09-26 18:01

Endgame and SW Episode 2 for me. People went crazy when Yoda pulled out his lightsaber at the midnight showing I was at.

ArkBass2025-09-27 03:17

This is the first midnight release I ever went to. I was 6-7 years old. I, too, lost my mind when Yoda pulled out his lightsaber.

Retro-scores2025-09-27 05:02

I remember everyone going crazy at the Dooku fight.

DanHero912025-09-26 18:54

Not so much clapping, but I really enjoyed watching it on a Saturday morning for a second viewing, there were so many kids in there and they were glued to it.

Tony's final scene definitely traumatised a lot of kids that day.

indianajoes2025-09-27 00:36

This is what I said in my comment. Also from the UK and it's kinda unheard of for audiences to make noises but for Endgame, we were going crazy. The only times I've experienced audiences like that were Endgame and No Way Home.

TrueLegateDamar2025-09-26 09:28

It was one of my worst theatre expierences due to extremely obnoxious and disruptive crowd screaming even in the quiet moments that I barely was able to follow the movie and subsequently soured it for me.

Feahnor2025-09-26 17:06

You are getting downvoted but you are right. I had to watch it two times because the first time people couldn’t stop talking and cheering. It’s a movie, the actors can’t hear you. STFU.

indianajoes2025-09-27 00:40

Go on like Tuesday in the middle of the day if you want to watch it with no one else there. That way you can sit alone and be a buzzkill all you want

risingsuncoc2025-09-26 09:34

Endgame is 6 years ago, it’s time to move on from your regret

Advanced_Daikon_31572025-09-26 14:05

i mean probably i would have experienced it in empty theatre coz i live in a village where people rarely watch hollywood movies but idk

indianajoes2025-09-27 00:39

I frequently rewatch this video to relive it

https://youtu.be/7DzVIafBMpE?si=iIhB6Hrjuk_AuKxf

I've seen India cinemas recordings as well with the audience going crazy for Endgame

two2teps2025-09-26 15:39

[You gotta move on, you gotta move on....](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rXbwteXh3o4)

DerekasaurusJax2025-09-27 03:33

Nope. It's not "move on..", it's "whatever it takes"

r01-85062025-09-26 10:15

Perhaps Doomsday and Secret Wars could match if not surpass the experience, or come the closest to it. So there are at least 2 chances more.

Advanced_Daikon_31572025-09-26 14:02

i don't think it can match that i mean many people dropped marvel after endgame

Son-Of-A_Hamster2025-09-26 17:29

You don't think a single theatre will be sold out for Doomsday on opening night? Lol

dean158922025-09-26 20:58

Theatres will be sold out, but these Avengers films aren't culminations, they're beginning.

Endgame worked because it brought together 10 years of worldbuilding.

Cap picking up Mjlonir is a cheer-moment cause we have been teased about that for close to a decade.

Same with Avengers Assemble.
Heck, even "I am Iron Man" . It started and ended the Infinity Saga.

So a lot of that is really just moments that are so earned for fans who stuck around , or have been around since the beginning. To see a plan come to fruition after a decade of waiting.

Spider-man No Way Home was also similar, and Deadpool/Wolverine was also similar.

But Avengers Doomsday is a new movie, its kicking off a new phase. So its not a payoff film.

Son-Of-A_Hamster2025-09-26 20:59

You are right, there are no returning characters or actors in Doomsday

dean158922025-09-26 21:22

Returning for what purpose?
it's not like we've been waiting for these characters to come back.

And with the massive cast list, a lot of these are gonna be glorified cameos.

Most will die.
We'll get some Ooo and Aahh and some cheers, but don't forget, they are going to appeal to only those of us who know the early media.

When I watched No Way Home with my nephew (he's 11) , when Andrew Garfield popped up, he asked me "who's that?"

MCU Infinity saga worked cause it was contained. If you watched all the movies ( no TV Shows needed), then you would enjoy the entire expereince at the end.

Now we've got D+ shows, we've got Fox Universe characters.
People are going to be lost for a lot of it.

I can bet you anything when MoonKnight shows up, half the audience will be like "wait, whos that again?"

It won't be the same level of intensity.
Yeah, I'll cheer when Shang-Chi comes back, why not.
But it won't beat the cheer I experienced when Cap showed up in Infinity War.

Son-Of-A_Hamster2025-09-26 21:27

![gif](giphy|aJlKIh8Kh0NLa)

badken2025-09-27 09:38

Maybe you'll get lucky and Disney will figure out that they can pocket a good chunk of money releasing an Infinity War/Endgame double feature.

DrunkDonut922025-09-26 10:25

Yeah I won’t lie it’s one of them moments I will never forget , Cap picking up the hammer , the portal scene never seen a crowd like it before and doubt we will again

The_Pixel_Knight2025-09-26 10:41

They should have done an audience audio track on the bluray. There are a few crowd recordings on youtube if you want to experience the atmosphere in the theatre.

Common_Celebration412025-09-26 10:55

Spiderman FFH, and DW was A full theater experience full of fans and love for the heroes.

Those were after endgame

Son-Of-A_Hamster2025-09-26 17:28

Both of those got some full theatre reactions. The spidermen showing up, Goblin saying I'm something of a scientist myself, Cap saying flame on, Cavilrene, Blade/Gambit... there will definitely be some good moments in Doomsday too

I_oonyI_ovegood2025-09-26 20:33

You mean Spider-Man: NWH?

Son-Of-A_Hamster2025-09-26 20:55

Oh yeah. FFH had some good ones like the Nightmonkey reveal or those flashbacks from Mysterio's team origins

indianajoes2025-09-27 00:37

FFH or NWH?

Common_Celebration412025-09-27 00:44

Oopsie

Meant NWH

But FFH was packed as well

I guess all pre EG was packed and it fell off hard at panther 2

erenismydaddy2025-09-26 15:56

I do too but I wasn’t super into it at that time anymore

ChaoticCaptain1772025-09-26 16:44

I'm so glad to have watched endgame in theaters, even though I was near some annoying people. But I do wish I saw infinity war in theaters

Dell0c02025-09-26 17:08

It was a top 5 movie theater experience for me. Just as interactive as the premiere of Independence Day when I was a teenager.

Pew_Daddy2025-09-26 17:09

Probably my favorite movie theater experiences (I went twice)

Imaginary_Ambition782025-09-26 17:20

Literally same, I regret not watching it in theatres so much. I just hope it comes back to theatres in a few years and I can watch it then

Runnin_Wizard2025-09-27 16:18

I would say for the tenth anniversary but marvel hasn’t done any widespread rereleases unfortunately Im not sure why because they would make a killing

BeautifulMaximum46372025-09-26 17:20

It was electric, OP. I'm sorry you missed out, but you truly did.

JetFlyer982025-09-26 17:21

Oof I'm so sorry lol. I was spoiled on a few things but still, watching that in theaters was quite literally: Absolute Cinema

Red-Panda2025-09-26 17:53

Go watch reactions from theaters on YouTube, it's great and you'll be a part of it :)

poofhead1012025-09-26 17:57

I only joined the MCU fan club when WandaVision came out and I 100% hate that I missed seeing Infinity War and Endgame in theaters…so I feel you!!

InvestigatorLive192025-09-26 18:09

I'm in the UK and the only MCU film I saw in cinemas on opening night was no way home. Probably the only time I've been in an English audience and people have stood up and cheered. I was 13, and seeing it with my best friend in cinemas was incredible.

SinginGidget2025-09-26 18:25

I had a coworker that decided to start watching the Marvel movies about 3 weeks before Endgame opened. I gave him in abbreviated list just so he could make it to see it in theaters opening weekend.

I went on the first Thursday and it was ... cathartic. And yeah, it was a unique experience that will likely not happen in theaters again.

legion_XXX2025-09-26 18:28

I went to see it the night before release. The theater was packed. No one had seen it. It was one of the best times at the movies in years for me.

Immediate_Channel3932025-09-26 18:45

I missed it too😭 I only got into the MCU in 2021… watching the Endgame theater reactions give me goosebumps

MalcolmTuckersLuck2025-09-26 19:12

It’s easy to be sniffy about stuff like the MCU but moments like Endgame, or Andrew Garfield taking off his mask in No Way Home and the audible reaction of the audience is why the theatrical experience and the collective experience absolutely matters

FrakWithAria2025-09-26 19:29

It was definitely an experience to behold. Endgame and Infinity War were the most fun I've ever had at the movie theater. Period. I felt like a 12 yr old (I'm currently 37) cheering along with the crowd:

Cap, Falcon and Widow rescue Wanda and Vision

Thor lands in Wakanda

Cap wields Mjolnir

"Avengers assemble"

"I am Iron Man"

Cast sign off during credits

Cap and Black Panther sprint into the onslaught of Outriders

Captain Marvel wrecking the Sanctuary II and bringing Thanos to his knees

etc.

There were tears too of course.

Sirmalta2025-09-26 19:33

You should haha

But dont worry you can go again in 5 years for the anniversary.

peapie322025-09-26 20:46

I don’t know. I came into the MCU really late (when WandaVision hit Disney+). I have seen clips of how the theater erupted during key scenes in Endgame and for me that would have maybe taken the joy out of it a little. Like not being able to hear the sound effects or dialogue. Like I took my youngest to see the Minecraft movie and I was actually looking forward to hearing the “CHICKEN JOCKEY” but alas a theater full of teens interrupted that with their screaming 😂😂😂

UnlimitedButts2025-09-26 20:47

Me and a friend watched a pirated copy on a small 32 inch insignia tv I bought from best buy. We had some good desktop speakers to use though.

jabbathepunk2025-09-26 20:51

Easily the best theater going experience I ever had. A true cultural moment.

dean158922025-09-26 20:54

Avengers 1, Avengers Endgame and No Way Home were pivotal MCU films that you just had to be there on opening weekend.

Avengers 1 less so, back then it was not as big
But Endgame and No Way Home , absolutely.

My apple watch kept sending me alerts like "buddy, your heart rate is too high, you gotta slow down"

and I'm in this packed theatre doing breath control while I see Giant Man punching a Leviathan.

The moment is frozen in time.

RoyalCod32025-09-26 21:03

I think we will experience it again similarly in the cinema with Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

Not in the same intensity, but very close to it.

Pistol_Whippa2025-09-26 21:04

Listen, seeing NWH, Endgame and DW on opening night? Unforgettable. I was in college when Endgame came out. My homie and I scraped whatever money we had and made sure we saw it on day 1, in IMAX. That movie was an out of body experience. When Steve picked up the hammer? We LOST it in there. But when everyone came back and the “Avengers……Assemble” with Steve summoning back Mjolnïr? Then Tony with the “And I, am, IRON MAN” snap? It was fucking ELECTRIFYING. We turned that movie theater into a rage concert with the excitement.

It’s really unfortunate for anyone who didn’t get to see any of those films opening weekend.

GoatDifferent12942025-09-26 21:53

It was magical

TheAlexTran2025-09-26 21:53

I’m still chasing that high

marccoogs2025-09-26 21:53

There will never be another experience, like when Cap got the hammer, or when T'Challa came out the portal, a long with everyone else. I am Iron Man was like a punch in a chest, and the shot of the whole cast of the funeral cant be reproduced.

aaiceman2025-09-26 22:02

Infinity war, Endgame, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy are all midnight cinema experiences that I am glad I was able to be there for.

gianakis052025-09-26 22:26

Yup you missed out big time.

knwnasrob2025-09-26 22:47

It was an amazing time. I remember staying off all social media for a week so it wouldn't be spoiled. I went to a matinee showing Saturday, 9:45AM. The theater was packed as if it was a midnight showing.

SpankedEagle2025-09-26 23:51

I stayed up all night for tickets to the first showing at the Chinese Theater. Was insane. I'll never top that as far as theater experiences.

meagull32025-09-27 00:16

I wish i could have that experience again it was AWESOME

T_Peg2025-09-27 00:23

Not to pile on but yeah. That shit was fucking electric. When Cap pulled Mjolnr it was literally the only time in my life I've fucking screamed in a movie theater.

xxRonzillaxx2025-09-27 00:47

Never experienced anything like it. 10 years worth of buildup in an epic payoff

Orion141592025-09-27 00:56

"on your left..."

Uproarious cheers when the portals started popping. It was awesome.

baiacool2025-09-27 01:19

we're due for a re-release soon I think

Rileybiley2025-09-27 01:31

I was 9 months pregnant when it came out and didn’t want to suffer through the opening weekend so we decided to wait a couple of weeks for the crowds to die down. I ended up having my baby early and didn’t get to go.

epic_reddit_dude2025-09-27 01:42

Don’t worry, doomsday or secret wars will be even better.

MisterSpicy2025-09-27 01:47

If it makes you feel better, I *would also* regret not watching Endgame in theatres lol

mrj500222025-09-27 01:52

When the screen showed the words ‘Five years later’ the entire audience gasped. Then went silent. It was crazy. Nobody has anticipated that.

SussySenpai962025-09-27 02:13

I don’t think I’ve ever had a cinema experience like that since that night. No way Home came close.

Recon12122025-09-27 02:31

I can’t believe I got to see the OG Avengers in theaters. I still remember Hulk hitting Thor and the laugh it got. Crazy how far we’ve come.

kendrahawk2025-09-27 02:43

the theater exploded when captain america came on the screen with thor's hammer. it was fucking EPIC, i was crying it was unforgettable. when spiderman showed up?!? dude, 'i love this movie SO much' was all i could think about

EliteSaud2025-09-27 03:32

You’re making me feel old my first movie in theaters was Guardians of the Galaxy 1

Equivalent-Exam26412025-09-27 03:41

Look up "avengers endgame audience reaction" on YouTube. Put your headphones on and it will be pretty close to being there.

andoesq2025-09-27 03:57

I can say with a high degree of confidence I will never see an in-cinema moment as great as that movie in my lifetime.

No one will ever do a 23 movie build-up to one moment again. It cannot be done.

Nerdcorefan232025-09-27 04:15

I can't say I had a crazy theater experience, but it is one of like 17 I did see in theaters. or so I think it's definitely double digits. no one is too late. you gotta go back and experience the whole journey. you can watch the ones you haven't seen on Disney+, FX, etc.

JasonMallen2025-09-27 04:25

First, I watched iron man 1, and then waited until infinity war for my next movie. Then I watched Civil War to figure out who all I just watched die.

themarveltheorist2025-09-27 04:56

same here, my first was nwh.

NOVA_OWL2025-09-27 04:56

It was fucking insane. Can't imagine ever experiencing something like again but Weapons was honestly a similar experience just without the 15 years of build up.

XecoX2025-09-27 05:33

Yeah audience cheering is part of the marvel movie watching experience
