I haven't gone to an AMC recently, BUT my local theatres do quizzes/fun games in between the ads - I speculate that's the part that will be cut. Paint this as a decision for the customer but in reality, it's a cost cutting/feature cut. Obviously those quizzes won't be missed, but to think they will reduce the ads and trailers is not correct in my opinion.
The last time I went to the theater they had car ads blasting even before the pre show car ads started blasting.
I will show up 5min late for movies now on purpose since there is assigned seating there is no benefit to showing up early
Sounds like you might be able to bump that to 20.
