why are people upset about AMC adding more commercials? You're literally getting more to watch.

My greedy fatass will be mostly finished with the popcorn by the time the commercials are over and that's by design probably

Show up 20 minutes late, problem solved.

>>212504699
If enough people do that they'll add another 20 minutes
We have some very greedy and short sighted people running cinemas

>>212504699
the 30 minute ads don't start until everyone who bought a ticket is sitting in their seats

>>212502676
this. I've just started showing up late to movies at this point so I don't shovel all the popcorn into my fat mouth before the previews finish

>>212502433 (OP)
Cinemark already plays too many ads before the trailers and often they'll play one of them twice.

>look at my phone the entire time
problem, AMC?

i've been showing up 10 minutes late to skip previews for years and only missed the very start of one of the disney slop wars one time

It's just so they can charge extra for an ad-free ticket screening.

>>212502433 (OP)
Will they at least be ads for local buisnesses

>>212502433 (OP)
everything since the advent of the mute button has been that being able to avoid commercials/advertising is a massive selling point for any product.

>>212502433 (OP)
They aren't adding more commercials, the app just started warning people how long the movie actually does start after the posted showtime. It's been 25-30 for years. I think people were complaining that their schedules were thrown off because they thought they'd get out of a theater a lot earlier than they actually did. The dumb part is they could cut like two minutes if they removed the commercials that are for AMC THEMSELVES, the people are already in your theater, why do you need to keep promoting yourself?

This is complete bullshit

Amc is a bad company run by retards and selfish cunts

>>212506273
i.e. China

They run local ads during Noovie, which starts like 20 minutes before showtime.

>>212502433 (OP)
They should have went out of business but then they would have lost another avenue of brainwashing

>>212505081
oh you sweet summer child

just one more reason to never go to a movie theater again

For as long as I've been going to movies this has always been a thing. Showing up 20 minutes late is just what you do.

>paying to watch ads
no way normies are this dumb

>>212506433
Did you just discover what movie theaters from this thread or something you fucking mongoloid

>>212502433 (OP)
It's in the top three reasons I stopped going to cinemas. When I used to go as a kid it was 2 or 3 short commercials, often for the chain itself, and 2 or 3 trailers (which were new and unseen). Now it's (legitimately) 45 minutes of television commercials, maybe a few local one's and 1 or 2 old youtube trailers. It's such a fucking rip off.

>>212502433 (OP)
I saw an IMAX F1 today and was about to leave after the first 20 min of trailers.

humiliation ritual

>>212506359
The Cinemas I go to usually run if not local at least local to the state ads, maybe it's different for americans though
