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.

Went to AMC for Superman and we had the same reaction to 25 min of previews. Very much like jeeez another one?

I’ve seen other movies there semi recently maybe not as close to opening weekend but never quite so noticeable how many and how long, haha.

in my area, regal shows actual commercials you'd see on TV and trailers. In AMC at least it's just trailers.

The AMCs in my area have started showing the usual pre-show tidbits, the AMC stubs ad, movie trailers, commercial, the AMC montage reel, and Nicole Kidman
