And the normal lot of commercials. I tell ya, I know advertisers love playing their commercials before movies because they have a captive audience, but I've made it a personal quest to never buy any of the products or take advantage of the services advertised via commercials in the theater. That's how pissed off I get about them. I want to run a theater where commercials are banned and trailers are actually run before showtime. I would make this policy known ahead of time so people know to get there on time or ahead of time. I wonder if anyone has ever tried this sort of thing before and what luck they did (or did not) have.
There has been a lot of backlash about that. There's a chain on the East Coast called Loews that has announced that they will advertise the actual start time now, not the time commercials/previews start, like in the past.
