I saw the movie yesterday at an AMC theater and couldn’t believe I had to sit through 30 minutes of trailers before the movie started. All for Disney movies but seemed excessive before a 3 hour movie.
shareYou bet we did. It was horrible. Everybody grumbled and kept checking the time on their phones and smart watches. Not one trailer for a proper movie either. All nonsense. We didn't even get the good trailer for Mario Bros. Just the teaser one. I'm done showing up on time for movies. I'm gonna be that asshole who shows up 20 minutes late and stumbles over eveyrbody's feet in the dark.
I used to love trailers, even show up early not to miss them. But we live in the future now and all these things splash on the internet as soon as they're released.
I was in an Imax theater and I enjoyed seeing the Mission Impossible preview but after that it was all trailers for Marvel movies and the Live Action Little Mermaid. 🥱
shareI'm done going to movies at the stated START TIME. There are always 20-25 minutes of ads/trailers. I want to know when the MOVIE will start, not the ads.
So, I show up 25 minutes late and it is just starting. TIME is MINE, not theirs to waste.
I do the same. I always show up 20 minutes or so after the official start time. AMC is the worst for movie trailers too.
shareWhich ones did they show? Indiana Jones? Any Marvel or DC?
shareWe got Indiana Jones. Little Mermaid. Guardians. Ant Man. Super Mario. The Mission Impossible hype reel (there's a 15 minute version on youtube that's way better). Spider-verse, Shazam, oh, the John Wick trailer, that was cool, some others. Half of them were blurry cause they wern't formatted for Imax or whatever.
shareI saw it at a Cinemark theater, thankfully there were only a few trailers before it started. I was surprised there weren't more.
shareInteresting. Where is the Cinemark? I've never had less, or more, than 25 minutes of ads and trailers at every Cinemark showing I've been to, at least for the past 5 years or so.
shareEvery movie I've been to for at least the past 5 years has been preceded by 25 minutes of ads and trailers. I've timed it many times, and it's always 25 minutes worth. I don't mind so much, because it gives me a 25 minute time cushion to get into the theater, but it gets tiring when you have to sit through the entire thing.
