Just stop watching trailers and go in blind.
Bit difficult to avoid in the cinema - I already arrive late to avoid the ads, getting the timing right to avoid trailers too would be tricky.
Comment on Movie Trailers Are Killing Movies

Just stop watching trailers and go in blind.
One of my favorite reveals was finding out that ‘Passengers’ wasn’t a train movie, which made everything that much better being blindsided by a pretty decent scifi story when I was expecting another train murder mystery.

Noise canceling headphones and an audiobook or music, I do it every time.

That’s commitment.

I am not paying money to see something I know nothing about. They already bombard you with 15 minutes of ads and 15 more minutes of trailers, and charge you for the pleasure.
And when you hit your 30s/40s and have kids, going to the movies is not just costly, it’s a whole… endeavor.
“Going in blind” sounds great, but it’s just not reasonable or feasible for the vast majority of people.

Read a review from a reviewer you trust. There’s no need for trailers.

That’s why also waiting until they’re streaming helps, too. If it’s an IP I’m already interested in, I’ll see it in theatres, blind, if it’s something new I’ll generally wait for it to be stream able then do the same at home.

Which why I refuse to watch anything on Deadpool 3. I did the same with Dp2 and enjoyed the movie that much more. Trailers just steal endorphin rush from the main event IMO.

The trailers for the original DP completely ruined the film for me. I refused to watch them after that. I know I am going to DP3, so I don’t need any other marketing thanks.
