If you are distracting people by “doing something electronic” obviously you aren’t there to watch the movie. Those people need to have some manners/etiquette taught to them think of others besides themselves.
Any one who thinks it is proper and good to cause a disruption to others has the inferior morals and ethics. Everyone else is superior to them in this fact based on actions and nothing else.
If you need to talk with others on your phone either by voice or text just take it outside the theater. People will appreciate you thinking about them.
If you are watching the audience then you obviously aren’t watching the screen. You might as well go back out on the street and watch people in broad daylight, it’s easier to see.
