Damn, how do they even have that many? Lol . I mean, it pisses me off seeing Odysseus trailers a year before it comes out, are they showing inappropriate trailers for the movie or something? Like a SpongeBob trailer before a horror movie or something?
It’s mostly commercials. And these commercials aren’t made specifically for theaters either, they’re the same crap they show on TV. Commercials are a deal breaker for me, so I just don’t go to theaters anymore.
That’s what I’m used to. The way it used to be I made sure I didn’t go into the theater before the time the movie was scheduled to start because that meant watching commercials. I tried that same tactic recently and had to watch almost 20 minutes of commercials before the trailers even started.
The enshitification in late stage capitalism is such a mess.
18 minutes is more realistic. I haven’t seen trailers last more than 20 minutes ever, and I’ve been keeping track for ~15 years.
Minimum 25 minutes where I live.

Where I live, they do commercials before the start time and trailers between the start time and the movie.

We’re arguably at the beginning of end stage capitalism.
Thank glob. I can’t wait to see what horrors await us in the upcoming phase
I haven’t watched trailers since ID4.
I just show up at the time it “starts” and then get concessions go to the bathroom, and by then I usually only have to see one or two.
