Definition

To leave after a show, performance, or event has finished.

How it's used

Focuses specifically on the moment an audience disperses from a venue like a cinema, theatre, or stadium. It implies the physical act of people moving out of the space rather than just the event concluding. It is rarely used for private meetings or small gatherings.

Examples

After the show ended, many people were waiting for transport at the entrance.
Have you left the cinema after the movie finished yet?

Common phrases

the crowd leaving the venue

Common mistake

Do not use this to describe the end of a meeting or a class, as those usually use 完場 or 散會. Using it for non-public events sounds unnatural to native speakers.
