20 minutes of trailers and 10 minutes of AMC puff pieces including the Nicole Kidman OMG Cinema commercials.
Earlier today I went to an AMC IMAX theater to watch Dune Part 2 (spoiler free review, a great film), and instead of the film starting at the scheduled time we have to duck around for 30 min before the film starts (which even then isn’t true since we get two 30 second studio logos).
I’m so happy that most theaters I go to are smaller with usually only a preview or two.
But for AMC, fuck you.
Honestly, this has been standard at every chain theatre I’ve been to for a decade or more. Once reserved seating became the norm, we just show up fifteen minutes after the ‘start’ time and walk in to the house lights dimming.
Agree with your review of Dune though.
