Sumario:This study analyzes cinema audiences and their behavior in the exhibition spaces in the Portuguese district capitals, between 1896 and 1924. The focus emphasizes the practices of spectators during film sessions in order to evaluate the avoidance schemes to the discipline imposed by a growing industry. Moment characterized by the spread and consolidation of cinema among leisure activities, film screenings gathered together the most diverse social groups in large or small towns, emerging as a very popular show. From the press was possible to evaluate the appropriation of projection rooms by spectators, which significantly differed from mutations in film and their spaces during that period.
