I don't know what your theaters are like, but I believe those attachments are intended for those with digital projections, or using digital files to broadcast the movie. Could be wrong though.

as opposed to all of the cinemas that are projecting Captain Marvel on film...

Seriously, disappointing weekend.  Not single Weekend Thread threadban.  Shame on you all.

I will never ever forget the 45 minutes of previews I had to sit through before Deadpool at my local AMC.

My home base theater does 3, no more not less.  

 

And I totally understand!  I see a movie outside of that theater, and there’s more than three trailers, I’m always like wait we’re still going?

Anyone who thinks CM won't clear 400M is fooling themselves. Disney will make sure that it passes the mark if there's need for help but doubtful. I think it'll go over comfortably. A cinemascore bodes well for legs. OS OW locked over 600M total and 700M is super likely. so yeah, this could challenge IM3.

The Alita Challenge was successful the movie made 3.2M over the weekend. One step closer to the sequel. 

Doubt it. Rumors of James Cameron is the owner of this movie, so now that Disney is buying out Fox, he may have to shop around for a new distributor.  It also makes me wonder what is up with Avatar. It's a Fox film as well, but while Disney is using ILM, James Cameron chose to work with Weta work shop.

Are mods allowed to threadban themselves?

Less than 150 pages, dissapointing indeed. Ah well, this is just the appetizer before the Weekend Thread to end all Weekend Threads.

Show starts on time! It’s called being prompt! And we gotta make it to 300M somehow 😂

The thing is you are punished for being on time when you go to the cinema.

 

If you are on time, then you have to suffer through adverts, and your popcorn and food will be cold by the time the film starts, the ice in your drink will have melted and turned your coke into watery sick.

Should reward people for being on time not punish them.

 

I personally tend to arrive at the cinema about 3-5 minutes before the actual film starts, so usually about 20 minutes after the advertised start time. I get to skip all the trailers and if I buy popcorn it's still warm when I eat it.

Nothing worse than showing up to my theater for a smaller film and expecting maybe 15 minutes worth of previews max and getting 25 minutes+. I feel like 3-4 trailers is a good amount because I know personally after that I just stop caring and then I actually forget all the trailers that end up playing anyways. Unless they really stand out or I had seen the trailer before.

How cute.

 

Here you have no less than 15 trailers before a movie. And before that atleast 20 min of advertisement. Its FUN

they're not rumours, Jim bought the rights himself, they don't belong to Fox.

It's not smart to suddenly out of nowhere not have adverts. Because audiences are used to a film starting say 30 mins after the advertised time, people will show up after the advertised time, and if no adverts then those people miss out on part of the film. not really fair on those people.

The cinemas always used to do advert>trailers>Movie, so I always turned up 15 mins late to skip the ads.

 

Now they got wise and do ads>trailers>ads> movie.

Did you see that Cineworld advert a while ago that they played just before the film starts, with some insufferable talking animal eating popcorn and going "Ooh, ads! Oooh the trailers! Ooh, the ads!" like the cinema is having its popcorn and eating it right in front of you while laughing.

That’s because you (and @CoolEric258) did an amazing job!

 

(And because everytime I was ready to go off, I just PM’d @Porthos.  So we can blame him for the lack of drama.)
