      I don’t think he’s complaining about movie trailers. He’s talking about the Coca Cola and 12 year old M&Ms advertisements that run for 10 minutes BEFORE the theater plug and trailers start.

      When I went to see Deadpool and Wolverine, I think the projector fucked up and we had to watch the ad loop twice. When the movie finally started 25 minutes late, people cheered just to see the Marvel logo

        That’s about average now in my experience for the movie to start 20-40 minutes after the showtime. Alamo Drafthouse tends to be better than the other chains.

      And they were moved to before the film started for a reason. :)

      That was when the credits happened at the start of the film. Now that the credits are at the end, most people would walk out before the trailers could play.
