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.

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

Was that the first time you’ve ever been to the movies? It’s been like that for decades.

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

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?

I would just walk out

  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?

    Because you’re not a five year old.
