I absolutely HATE having to sit through commercials at the movies, but apparantly, a new 'study' showed that 2/3 of moviegoers don't mind them. Great, now we'll never enjoy the previews again.

If I go to the movies its usualy with a bunch of friends so we have to get there early to save seats. Not only do the still-screen ads and so called trivia suck these commercials last way too long.

I love when my friend gets sneek preview tickets. They just start the movie, no ads at all.

I love when they post up trivia questions, and just as the answer is about to pop-up on the computerized yahoo thingee, they flip to a local ad.

And I just did a study that stated 2/3 of movie goers lie.

I hate the movietickets.com commercials with a passion.

They replaced the utterly annoying "Family that acts like Mission Impossible spies" commercial with a "3 Dumb College Guys Having Trouble With Their Laptop" commercial.

the film studios have opened up "coming attractions" from upcoming movies to stuff like seirra mist, mazda, coke, getmovieticketsonline.com stuff. They are now making money on it on the side. if they take them away they are going to be like "fine we'll raise ticket prices to make that up," and ticket prices in the city are upto $10 anywhere you go.

unfortunately it cannot go back once they start making money.

No, I stole it from Gary Busey, which also happens to be the correct answer. Thanks for playing.

On the opening weekend of a movie, a majority of the profits go back to the studios. The longer a movie is in the theatre, the larger the percentage goes to the theatre itself. The theatre has to recoup these losses somehow.

the gay thing is as prices go up they add more comercaisl. the comercials dont do a god dam thing. they should lower prices, thats how comercials work. radio is free becaue stations play advertisements. tv costs way too much adn they got 2 many comercials, and this is relaly bullshit with the movies. i dont want to go to fukin target im a fukin movie theater. i understadn fandango thats it. nothing else they show has anthign to do with the movie. shit ill even let the matrix poweraid comercial slide but thats pushing it. where is that money going. its stil 10$ to get a seat 15 for popcorn and a soda. wiht all the shit theyve been playing it should be 50cents to get in. god dam losers
