I went to a Regal Cinema for the first time a few months ago and they played 20 minutes of ads that began at the advertised movie start times. Insane.

That’s stupid. Why would you go to the movies just to walk out before it even started?

If it’s past the start time and it’s not on then why would I expect it to come on?

It’s always been that way. Previews interspersed with coke ads.

Was that the first time you’ve ever been to the movies? It’s been like that for decades. Always go in 20 minutes after the start time.

I went to my local theater expecting this and ended up missing the first ten minutes of Venom 3. I guess the moral of the story is… Shop local?

It’s been that way forever, I remember looking at my watch and thinking about it in the 90s
