I'm gonna guess less trailers, same amount of ads.
Get ready for pop up ads IN the movie, like more than product placement. Full on scrolling across the screen ads!
The minute I see that, it will be the last time I go to a theater.
In that event, I walk and demand a refund on the way out.
Apparently, not a new idea
I was actually looking for a pop-up video gif and gave up lol
Holy shit, that's a poorly written article
Make the ad for a dodgy Asian gambling site, to save pirates having to add it later.
Literally yes. They're dropping a trailer and a couple of the "silence your phone" style vids so they can add more commercials.
...you're aware that the trailers are very literally ads, yeah?
Sure, but I'd rather have ads for movies when I go to see a movie than ads for cars or cell phones.
Since I haven't watched TV for years and used an adblocker for so long I actually enjoy normal commercials before a movie out of curiousity. And they are usually hilariously bad. But it's interesting to see what I am "missing" this whole time.
And it helps my small local cinema get additional money which I'm fine with. It's a nice cinema.
If only there were an option for less of either... sadly that is just completely inconceivable.
I honestly experience so few ads in my daily life that unless I see a trailer on here or in theaters I don't know a new movie is coming out. I actually kinda enjoy seeing all the trailers before movies for that reason.
Most of my upcoming attraction news comes from people bitching about how the new movies coming out are going to suck (Marvel movies, mostly) or people giving attention to the "critics" whare complaining about "wokeness" in cinema.
the people complaining about wokeness, are always not doing it in goodfaith, or is a propangda troll.
And yet people keep giving them the attention they crave.
less trailers, MORE ADS you mean.
AMC wants to know your location so they can put you on a management track
