How are they a useful buffer to stand in line for popcorn? If the movie actually started on time instead of showing ads you would just show up 15 minutes early.
As it is right now people show up “on time” and stand in line for 15 minutes because they know it’s just going to be a shit ton of advertisements but then risk missing the start of the movie because it could be 10 minutes or could be 20 minutes.

At my local multiplex, outside of events, it is pretty consistently 25-30 minutes of ads and trailers, very occasionally going down to 20 minutes. So I am to arrive about 15 minutes in, which is usually the end of the ads, the start of the trailers. I’ve only every been caught out once, which was a late, 10-11, screening of Doctor Strange 2 which appears yo have had a shorter than normal “buffer” so it didn’t go on so late.
