I think my showing saw:

Dolittle
James Bond
WW84
Mulan
Onward
1917
Tenet
Black Widow
Top Gun

So at least 8. Plus the car commercial

This was ours

At Drafthouse today we had:

Bad Boys for Life
Black Widow
Free Guy
1917
Mulan
A Quiet Place (30 seconds)

I think that was it. Went by quickly.

Cinemark. We had the Cadillac commercial as well which was a tease. Made me think the trailers were over but NOPE two more after that.

Saw it at Cinemark. 35 minutes of trailers and commercials (cadillac and sprite). Showtime 12:35. Movie started 1:10. Ridiculous

I'm kind of floored to see these reports of so many trailers.

We had Mulan, Onward, Black Widow, and one other. Showtime was 7:00. They start commercials about 6:50. Previews at show time. No commercials inserted in the trailers.

It's Shulman Theaters though. I did not know this until last night, guess I never paid attention. Shulman is completely family owned and operated and started in Bryan, TX in 1926.

I have never seen so much b*tching about having to watch movie trailers, of all things. Give me *all* the movie trailers, please. There are few things better than seeing a bunch of big-name trailers, in a theater, with an amped audience on opening weekend. Besides, this is one of the biggest event movies of the year. Of course theaters are going to use this opportunity to advertise as much of their product as possible to packed house after packed house.

Tc this isn't just Star Wars. I saw black Christmas the day before and it was 30 minutes of trailers at regal

With reserved seating and bar service now available at nicer theatres, trailer time allows one to finish one's cocktail in a leisurely, civilized manner. Y'all are doing it wrong.

Hows the violence level, planning to take my 7 year old who's seen Eps 4,5,6,7 and Solo

It's the same as any Star Wars movie. No blood or guts or anything.

Biggest bet peeve of movie trailers ....


Having to hear little miss and little mister "i want everyone to know what I'm thinking right now" say "OOH I WANT TO SEE THIS!!!" at the beginning of every trailer.

Oh, no, you have to hear people express joy and enthusiasm for movies? What a bunch of assh*les. What's next, people saying how much they like food at restaurants??? Ugh.

No no no no no. There is a difference in someone who quitely informs their friends or whoever they came with to the movies about their desire to see a movie and that certain type of person who wants EVERYONE around them to know. They have to make sure that the second the trailer starts, they already know what movie it is, and like Redstone, they want everyone to know that they already know because of how up to date on future movies they are.

This usually is a precursor to the fact that the same person will be making dumb comments throughout the movie such as pointing out subtle jokes and cues throughout the movie.

Aside from big movies like this on IMAX, I'm swearing off the theater experience for good. These damn people just talk all through movies nowadays, no matter what theater, no matter what movie. It's a nightmare.

Saw it with a group of five friends at the Alamo Drafthouse today and we all had a great time. It's not going to win any awards, but it is fun!

I loathed TLJ and loved TFA.

Maybe you live in an ass hole infested area because we don't have a problem with it at all. Worst case is chatty teens and we just ask them to please quiet down. Chill man. Chill.

I live in Houston. I've tried theaters in town, I've tried theaters out in the burbs. It's a plague of talkers.
Last movie I went to was Ford vs Ferrari in a mostly empty theater, and a the guy of the couple that sits right behind us explains every frigging thing to his girl. "oh yeah, that parts true" "ya, that was the car they made" blah blah blah.

I've asked people to be quiet before but they look at me like I'm from mars. It's like all people are used to just talking about movies while watching them at home, so they just do it at the theater too, and can't see why anyone would be opposed to it.

I hear you on that. Genuine enthusiasm in theaters I love, but talkers I hate. I'd say one out of every three or so movies I see I have to ask someone to either please be quiet or turn off their damn phone.

The nice part about the theaters with the recliners is the wall behind you blocks out most of the sound from anyone behind. The negative is it also directly blocks rear channel audio if the wall is between the line of sight to the speaker.

Who knows if I'm going to end up agreeing with him or not, but I love Joseph Kahn. He's a huge music video director (seriously, check his credits) from Texas whose last couple of films have been getting a decent amount of praise. He gets sh*t online for sometimes going against the grain (like he is now), but he doesn't give a f*ck. I met him once, and have seen him out a couple other times, and he comes across as a super nice/good dude.

Yeah, of course. But I also understand theaters needing to make money, and thus a ton of advertising on a weekend like this. It's the price we have to pay for more and more people staying home. That said, I'm in one hundred percent agreement that theaters should at least post how long the trailers are going to be, or factor that into the runtime somehow.

That's where if you hear them do it on the first trailer, YOU outdo them on the next one really obnoxiously. Fight fire with fire.

Well, they need to be careful about going the hoar on dollar night route. The whole penny wise, pound foolish thing. If fewer people coming to the theater because they prefer the home experience is a concern, then making the theater experience more frustrating for some seems... unwise.
