    With the Advent of reserved seating I don’t get why this is an issue anymore. Buy the seat you want, let the companies buying ads subsidize your ticket price, and show up after they’ve played. There’s no reason anymore to be stuck in your seat for 20 minutes before show time.

      Because you dodn’t actually know when “showtime” is. I’ve never seen a ticket that listed the amount of time the commercials were going to take so I’d know when to be there. Ticket says 5:00, but actual movie didn’t start until 5:37.

        Has arriving at the specified showtime not worked out for you? Usually that’s enough time for me to get there, use the washroom, get snacks, and sit down before the movie actually starts. But I don’t go to the theatre often or usually see movies when they first come out.

          Not really TBH. Getting snacks only tastes like 2 minutes usually and nothing else is typically needed before the show. I don’t go to the theater much anymore as I’m pretty happy with my home setup now so take what I say with a huge grain of salt.
