Today, I went to the AMC Bay Terrace Complex to see the film Adrift scheduled to begin at 12:15 PM. After several trailers (previews) the movie didn't begin until 12:40. I didn't count the number of previews this time, but often there up to 7 before the actual start. I don't mind sitting through a few, but 7 taking up to 25 minutes is just excessive. This is especially annoying when the film is long. We pay enough to see movies in a theater, but these trailers are essentially commercials which we can see at home any time.
Very often a trailer is shown and then that movie is never shown at that theater. For example, I saw trailers for Book Club and Adrift at the College Point Multiplex, but those films were never shown there.
