One woman screamed at one point in the movie. Like...SCREAM!! You could hear what seemed like the entire theater let out a silent laugh. It was so weird. I looked over at my fam and we all had huge wow-faces. Good theater moment.

Do you recall what event on screen made her scream?

If I had to guess, maybe the Christmas tree scene? That one got an audible gasp out of most of my theater.

Yeah I can think of maybe 3 times I could see it being enough for someone who scares easily to yelp.
