In real life, the pressure in will stay constant, the pressure out will stay
very close to constant. There are valves called the outflow valve which is
basically a flute like on a Chimney. There are usually 2 on large transport
category aircraft. The Out flow valve open when there is too much pressure
in the fuselage, and closes to allow the air pressure to build up. So like a
gun shot through the thin skin... wont do anything....a few guns shot? ehh
maybe a noticeable difference, but there is always the airmasks. As long as
the roof don't rip off like the Aloha airlines B737-297.... you'll probably
be ok

anyway hope it helps

Often in films, when a plane flying at high altitude has its window
shot out, it seems to experience major turbulence and/or seem to dive
before it is stabilised.

I can't understand why a load of air rushing out of the pressurised
cabin would do this in *real* situations, does it actually happen?

Any explanations?
