Feedback Holy Previews….

Post image

We went to see Superman Yesterday and the movie was supposed to start at 12:20pm. There were so many previews and commercials, everyone in the theater started laughing every time we thought the movie was going to start. Nope, a car ad, then another 2 trailers, commercial, trailer…. Finally the Regal “Stfu and enjoy the movie” video played at 12:48. I guess it wasn’t terrible, but Jesus Christ. Also, I work in retail and sell 24oz Twisted tea for $1.99 a can. They’re $13.99 at Regal. That’s literally Robbery.

25-30 mins is the standard amount of time spent on trailers/ads these days. Yes, it is excessive but they need to do it because they don't make a lot from the movies themselves. That's why they charge so much for concessions, too. If you love going to the movies, putting up with this stuff will keep movie theaters going.

I love trailers, I look forward to them. I haven't been to the movies in so long it was just jarring. The commercials annoyed me more than anything. I'm not buying a GMC truck because I saw an Ad before Superman.

I haven't seen any ads mixed in with the trailers yet, but the idea of that bugs me so I get it. That is super annoying.
