Yes, I've heard many applauses and outbursts of laughter during the 2 times I saw "RotK" (I'm in the US). When Legolas kills the Oliphaunt, or pretty much ANY time that Legolas does something cool, for that matter , a few scattered claps when Sam defeats Shelob, and a random "WOO!" from a woman in the audience as Legolas walks into Frodo's room at the end of the movie in his oh-so-spiffy shirt. There was PLENTY of cheering at the premier of "TTT" in my area, but being stuck in a theater full of Ringies, you'd probably expect that.
