The debate continues over whether this behavior is acceptable during a concert film - some see it as disruptive, others as a way for fans to express their love.

There's no universal answer; each theater may set its own rules.

Some theaters have banned singing and dancing during concert films, while others permit it if it doesn't disrupt others.
