Whenever we plan to go see a movie, it's always annoying how long the previews and trailers take. You plan for a 90 minute movie with a specific start time, but by the time the movie actually starts it can be 20-30 minutes later. You can never be sure how long the trailers will be, so you can't just arrive late hoping to skip the trailers.
It would be great if Cinemas could provide and plan some showtimes which were guaranteed not to have previews, ads or trailers. The showtime would be the actual start time. You can plan your day better, and not spend time seeing previews you either don't want to see or have seen before. I understand the marketing purpose of the trailers and ads, but they just take up too much time. For many people they are a real reason not to go to the cinema. Perhaps an additional charge could be applied to these showtimes, but I think people would be willing to pay.
