moviegoers
Theater seat fillers
Moviegoers are people who attend films at theaters.
The term emphasizes the activity as a habit or identity rather than a single instance—regular moviegoers versus someone who occasionally sees a movie: Moviegoers lined up around the block for opening night.
The singular moviegoer exists but appears less often.
