In Turkey cinemas used to have intermissions for every movie. Even in early 2000s. I don't know if it's still the case.

When I was in Istanbul in 2013 they had an intermission. Kind of surprising to me. Also it seemed like it was a time based thing because I vaguely recall it was right during an action sequence and bam, movie stops and the lights turn on. My first thought something went wrong with the projector but then everybody around me just started getting up and acting like it was completely normal :)
In Switzerland, having an intermission is still standard. It's great.
