Fer instance:

If the advertised start-time is 7:30, what time would the "feature presentation" actually begin?

Thanks!

My experience is that you have about 30 minutes between start time and feature presentation.

Dude, the previews are sometimes the best part! You can't miss those!

Let's see.

7:30... a beer commercial or two, an ad for whitening cream etc.
7:45... 5 or 6 movie trailers
7:55... all stand for HRH while music plays and images of HRH farming, playing saxophone, smiling at old people move across the screen
8:00... the movie begins!

at my cinema exactly 15 minutes, but in USA I found it longer, dunno how it is in Canada

about 20 minutes

I'd say about 15 minutes here in Oakland, but when I was in LA the previews seemed to go on forever!

I generally don't care for fiction, so I can miss those!

What movie are you going to see?

Thanks, all!

Ace said:

It is at my local Cineworld cinema. Went to a different cinema the other week and it was also about that long too.

Vat's so funny?

Lammastide said:

I agree! I hate missing the previews

In my experience (being late frequently).. only 15 minutes!

ZombieKitten said:

yep or a bit ova but it seems longer

last time I went (two weeks ago), It hardly seemed like 10 minutes had passed before the movie was starting.


I just realised the time you asked and how you probably don't need to know anymore. LAWD matthew
