To be honest, I don’t mind a few trailers at the cinema. It’s also a bit of a buffer if you’re running late (which I usually am).
This is why I've stopped going to the movie theatre. Firstly, I'm paying to see the movie, not see ads. Secondly, it's so inconsistent.
When I was younger, I'd be shitting bricks if we were running late. Gotta get to the theatre before the movie starts so we have time to get popcorn and find our seats!
Now? It's hit or miss if there are a tone of ads or not. Sometimes you'll arrive on time and be welcomed with all the garbage ads. Conversely, arrive late and I'd miss the first part of the movie, so i wouldn't know what's going on.
