The 46-year-old who was encouraged by the studio behind "Peppermint" to watch the movie with fans in a public theatre got emotional after seeing people reactions reports dailymail.co.uk.
Garner also took to Instagram and posted a video showing her hanging out at the cinema and fretting about what the paying audience is going to think of the film.
Along with it she wrote: "The studio encouraged me to go to the theatre and see Peppermint movie with an audience -- maybe they thought I would conduct exit polls?
"But I learned something about myself on this experiment -- I am a chicken. Thank you to everyone who spent their weekend and their hard earned money with Riley North (Garner s character) and me. If you go this week -- you never know -- I may be lurking behind a curtain at a theatre near you."
Directed by Pierre Morel "Peppermint" is an action thriller which tells the story of young mother Riley North (Garner) who awakens from a coma after her husband and daughter are killed in a brutal attack on the family.
