Extras. They put an ad in the paper saying that they are in need of extra people to participate in a movie. They usually don't get paid for this. Otherwise they use computer magic and make them all up, or use film that has already been shot.

Not a million, but a lot. If you carefully observe the background, of a scene in a movie, they hire just enough extras to fill in the shot, that they are shooting. To do this requires quite a few people, but not as many as you would think. It is called movie magic, for a good reason.

Spiderman 3 filmed some of the city scenes in Cleveland a couple of months ago and had a casting call for extras. Thousands showed up to sign up.
Here's an article on it.
Spidey wants you! Casting call set for action film
Can Clevelanders pass for New Yorkers? "Spider-Man 3" is looking for extras who have that Upper West Side look.
The movie, which is filming some action scenes here this month, is holding its only open casting call from 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday in the English Oak Room at Tower City Center in downtown Cleveland, said casting director Lillian Pyles.
Thousands are expected to show up, said Pyles, who did casting for "Antwone Fisher" and "Against the Ropes" when they filmed here.
"Spider-Man 3" needs 200 extras for each day of shooting Friday, April 21 to Saturday, April 29.
Participants must be 18 and over and should bring a photograph (no digital images). Bring a pen for filling out an application, but leave children at home. Only people who attend the casting call will be considered for extras roles, Pyles said.
If cast, extras will be part of a New York street scene, and get $75 for a 12-hour day. They can work for just one day, or every day, she said. Call 216-321-8439 for more information

I just wanted to add to what others have said. Besides just getting enough extras to fill a section plus computer graphics, they can also "fill" a stadium by getting the one section of people to get up and move to the next section and so on. Then through computer editing, it looks like a full stadium, but it's not fake, CGI people.

They only fill one section of the bleachers and film the plays going both directions so the bleachers are always framed in camera.
Also they CGI in teh audience sometimes.

They just hire extras. They don't have to do much most of the time.

a lot of that is comptuer generated, however there are also extras which are paid a bit to stand around in the background.

They have a "casting call" for extra "walk on's" and everyone gets a few dollars.
