I get that cultures are different but I'm talking about the "fans" in the theater. How was this scene received by fans in places where audible excitement is frowned upon.
Was it quiet?

Did fans in the UK ( and other places) really not clap at any point during Infinity War?

No of course not. Why would you clap? It's not like the people who made the film are going to hear it.
You're obviously ok to make noise like laugh but to act like the audience of the big bang theory is just annoying.

You're at a cinema, you don't clap to the video because that would be stupid at best and a serious disturbance to everyone else in most cases.
Lol, what? Clapping in the cinema?
You know, I often hear people from US saying that cinema going experience isn't great, that some people are behaving in a weird way etc, I guess that's one of the issues - people getting too excited :P I mean, cool I guess...
Also, I'm just a "fan" not a real fan? :D

I'm in the US and no one did that... I get the meme and all, but still; have some common curtesy to not annoy the whole theater.
Technically the people who made the film are not going to hear or see any reaction you make regardless.
Literally the only times I've seen people clap in a cinema were
1) At the end of a live broadcast of a RSC production.
2) At the end of F8 of The Furious because we were sat next to two absolutely insane super fans who also kept laughing absurdly loudly every time Vin Diesel said anything and were insufferable.

I want to watch a movie and the last thing I want is a choir of loud clapping by overexcited loons drowning out the dialogue and/or background music.
Some people applauded a climatic scene in Aquaman when I watched it in a London cinema earlier today.
In Avengers 1, Hulk versus Loki, and Thor punched by Hulk. Heath Ledger pencil trick as well. Return of the King Ending. None during any other movies I saw.
A volcano erupting in the aisle couldn't drown out the sound over here
Outside of comedies (in which you'll hear laughter) you might get excited murmuring if it's a really good moment.
Maybe once its done, but during it, you gotta be an obnoxious self obsessed son of a bitch.

"Clap" might be the wrong word. I mean show audible excitement and cheer. Also, when did clap become exclusive to showing peromers gratitude?
If people laugh at a comedy or jump/gasp at a horror movie then that's obviously fine. Applauding or cheering during the middle of a movie is ridiculous. Like, why? If you go see a musical at the theatre then it's nice to clap at the end of each number because it's a live production and you're showing your appreciation to the people on stage (and silences are built into the production to accommodate clapping).
Cheering or clapping in a cinema is obnoxious. At best you're ruining the atmosphere, at worst you're drowning out dialogue. Sit your ass down and control yourself.

Dumb American here: who the fuck claps at a film? What the fuck? I mean maybe if this was some arthouse thing where the director was in the theater and maybe about to take audience questions or something
but
this is a fucking Avengers movie.
And we're talking clapping during the film? Not at the end of it? What am I even reading?
