Teletubby 132,598 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago “Joker” and “The Hangover” director Todd Phillips recently participated in a Hollywood poll for Empire magazine about the future of moviegoing and expressed his desire for movie theaters to get rid of showing commercials before films. Phillips suggested theaters could be doing a bit more to combat the desire from audiences just to stream films at home. He sent theaters the following message: “Stop showing commercials before the movies. We’ve paid for our tickets. We’re excited to be there. The commercials tend to take the air out of the room.” https://variety.com/2024/film/news/todd-phillips-movie-theaters-ban-commercials-before-films-1236197442/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nATAH 41,539 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago i'm shocked cinemas haven't started doing a more expensive "ad free" ticket already tbh mother, what must i do? 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 101,164 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Commercials are usually before the actual showtime on the ticket... does he mean trailers? Cause I enjoy the trailers and I like watching what will be in theaters. There is nothing you can do to motivate people to pay to go. I personally like to experience films that way but there are a lot of people out there who have very little appreciation for the experience. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weed 70,795 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago like trailers? or real commercials? I think I only get trailers + Coke and AMC commercials. I like the trailers but they can cut them down and pick better ones for the specific movie ur seeing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwerk 6,943 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Everyone can just skip the commercials by showing up a bit later. Unless they don't interrupt the actual movie with ads I'm fine with it. I wish director's would make shorter movies. Supposedly they got longer and longer because of streaming. According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catnikko 13,500 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago but the lights turning off, the screen widening and the movie trailers before movies are one of the best parts of the experience especially for horror movies with other horror movie trailers unless he means the commercials before the movie trailers but in that case who even cares and wants to sit and watch a blank screen if you're early uh ah 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it was like that here, I can turn up 35 minutes after the listed showtime and the movie still hasn't started, they play commercials, then movie trailers, then often more commercials again, then advertising the cinema as if people sitting in the screening aren't aware it exists... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMROD 103,562 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago He is so privileged and silly to say this stuffs. His POV is not the best. Cinemas would even be more expensive without those ads and trailers. The revenue from ada and concessions are what keeping the cinema running and ticket prices bearable (and it is already high, btw) (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ✧*:・゚ 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 (*´艸`*) ♡♡♡ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
