I run a small indie here in the UK and the time we publicise IS THE START TIME OF THE MOVIE. It comes as quite a shock to some people that we do this but most of our customers love it.
That would annoy me, I would be 26 minutes (the length of Vue pre-movie crap) late
I enjoy the trailers. I would be bummed finding out I missed them due to this and would probably be bummed to never know exactly when I need to arrive to see them. Although worse yet, granted just for the first time attending, would be if I was running late but assumed I had at least 15 minutes until the actual movie starts.
My local theater only has a max of 5 minutes of commercials. I like that.
Where are you?
Oh I wish my local vue would do this…. It’s ridiculous how much advertising is before a film
The last three movies I went to all started a full 30 minutes after the scheduled time. When the Nicole Kidman thing came on last night before Eternals, I whispered over to my girlfriend: “Why are they showing this to us? We’re the ones who actually showed up to the theater”
To remind you why it's better to watch movie in theater versus at home.
@B. A. Carroll those are before the schedule movie time.
“Showing AMC commercials while in amc”
Thank you!!
They are to remind people who are in the theater not to watch movies at home because AMC "makes movies better"
This is one of the funniest rants you've had recently imo. Totally agree with you. Love that Nicole Kidman commercial, but last time I was at an AMC and that commercial played, I literally thought to myself, "Wait, why the hell is this playing right now?"
You "love" that Nicole Kidman commercial? Hahaha. CGI Nicole Kidman going into a fake theater. When I first saw that I was thinking this has to be a trailer for Stepford Wives 2.
I crack up when she says “heartbreak feels better in a place like this.”
@@esoteric76 you didn't know that the first thing she did after breaking up with Tom Cruise was to go to an AMC theater??
@@nilesengerman8263 LOL. I would like to know which theater they filmed the commercial in because the AMC theaters near me look ancient.
@@esoteric76 that entire ad is CGI lol... Even Kidman! She's got more frosting on her face than all the Polish bakeries in Chicago
You know what's weird?
the commericals are louder then the Movie itself lol
YES!!!!
RIght?!? Well said.
That's always how it is. Even on TV. I think they realize that people don't pay attention to them so they rely on sound more.
Not weird at all. They do that very much on purpose
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices this.
Seriously. My high's dwindling by the time the movie finally starts.
Get high at the time listed on the ticket smoke 20 min head in buy snacks sit down and hopefully you won’t have more than 3 min of trailers works for me and yes I’m smoking while driving near the theaters
Yup! I smoke through the first 15 min and run in before it actually starts. But this just basically gives me more time cause of Nicole.
If people are able to handle their high and not act annoying during the movie, that’s cool. But I swear to God...people who go to comedies high and laugh at EVERY SINGLE THING (including parts that aren’t even meant to be funny) are annoying as fuck and deserve to spend an eternity stepping on legos in hell.
@@Jaksolo that’s what I’d do, but it was hard when going to the movies at the Arclight in LA where they didn’t allow late seating. They’d say it’s for the people not being distracted by late seating. I’d believe that, except when the show is actually starting they have commercials encouraging people to get up and go to the lobby to buy sodas and snacks. Seems to undercut their anti-late seating message a bit. Just stopped going to those theaters 😅
@@mattjazzfan2288 I’m more annoyed by the people on their phones and talking loudly to each other in the middle of the movie. Can’t even tell them to shut up without fear of being shot these days.
When The Force Awakens came out, they showed the trailer before the movie as if we weren’t already there to see it. There were so many confused people whispering to each other throughout the entire trailer
That happened when I saw black widow. I said to the person next to me “isn’t this where I am?”
Somehow, that never happened to me (seeing a trailer for the movie I am about to see). But given the nature of big businesses, I can believe it.
@@drewmantia Well, there couldn't have been that many other trailers of upcoming movies for them to play given all the push backs.
@@drewmantia They meant The Force Awakens trailer played before the film, The Force Awakens...
That happened when I saw Dune the projector disconnected and we had a huge error message on the screen for 10-15 minutes and then they showed the trailer and the whole theater laughed
AMC isn’t the only one that does it: cinemark does it, so does regal.
Goodrich as well, Goodrich as...well.
Cinemark is the worst
"I love trailers... I MADE A WHOLE DOCUMENTARY ABOUT TRAILERS!!!" -John Campea 😂😂😂
where can i watch that?
@@markreaper it's in the description of every John Campea video
I don't miss going to the movies in USA. Here in Germany they have around 15 minutes. That includes an ice cream commercial and a guy that comes and sells the ice creams that are on the screen.
This rant got me thinking about how stupid it was that my local cinema here in Sydney, Aus showed an Eternals trailer just mins before we were about to watch the Eternals movie. That was about 5 mins we could have been watching the opening credits instead. We must have been rusty coming out from lockdown 🤣🤣🤣🤨🙃
Fellow Aussie here. How does that even happen? A trailer for the movie you’re about to watch being played before the movie. Didn’t happen in the advanced screening I was in. Weird.
WHAT?! LOL
@@stevenvo1999 yes weird. It did happen and I went to an advanced screening as well.
When I went to see No Time to Die we only had two trailers: Eternals and Dune. That was it. It was an independent theater that used to be a Regal.
When I saw No Time To Die in IMAX at the AMC Lincoln Square. They only showed the Dune trailer & went straight to the film. No IMAX countdown either. Just the MGM logo.
Imagine them playing ads during a movie just like they play ads in the middle of CZcams videos.
When he starts dropping F bombs lmfao
THE "WTF DO YOU WANT ?" KILLED ME !!!
Literally every time I've been to the movies and saw that commercial, I go "UGH, is this really necessary? Like, we're ALREADY here." Glad to know you have the same thoughts, John. 😂
The AMC trailer makes no sense to show to people at AMC, because we're at AMC. And then the dialogue, ridiculous.
This is why I'm always "late" to movies. It says 7? Cool, be there at 7:25
What I love about that AMC commercial with Nicole Kidman, is that apparently there were no movies made before 2015.
Plus if you’re watching on Imax or AMC Prime you have to suffer through the advertising for that format. And if you go often as many of us do, it starts to get ridiculous
Yo I literally yelled in my AMC theatre: “WE’RE ALREADY HERE”
The "start time" at my cinemark is basically when the trailers are just starying so the movie starts about 30 to 40 minutes after it should have started
I got this one John: the point of the Nicole Kidman commercial isn't to tell you to "go to AMC" (she never says anything to that effect), but rather, it's to celebrate the cinema-going experience (especially in light of the covid pandemic), and to emphasize that AMC deeply values that experience and, therefore, AMC is the best place for that experience. It's about creating warm happy feelings around movie-going and then putting AMC's good name in so that those warm happy feelings spread from movie-going in general to movie-going at AMC in particular. It's about cementing the connection between movie-going and AMC. Yes, you may already be sitting in AMC now as you're watching the commercial, but AMC wants to make sure that forever into the future, you will think of AMC automatically when you think of going to the movies.
What gets me about the Nicole Kidman AMC commercial is it keeps showing films released before the Pandemic like Wonder Woman and Creed from back in 2017-2018 so it is not even recent films they are advertising for.
I think we’ve all felt that inner groan of frustration when you think the movie is about to start after watching all those trailers… then one more plays. You’ve eaten half your popcorn already.
For real. All my snacks for the MOVIE was already eaten during the damn trailers
Amazon shows me ads for large purchases I just made, things I can’t imagine most non-businesses buy more than one of in quick succession, like laptops or blenders.
4:24 - 4:35 is the greatest 10 seconds of Campeas career.
I’m here!!!
"I would pay money to have Nichole Kidman yell in my face." LOL John is so good at these rants!
I always thought the Anti-Piracy Spot was particularly stupid, I'm here ... In the theater ... I paid to watch it.
I guess the 40 mins of commercials and trailers work for those who are running late on a group 😂😂
yup thats why i always go late
I'm cool with the trailers because the queue for food at my cinema is sometimes way too long which makes me late, or I just turn up to the cinema late. So I seem to always time it just right so I hardly see any advertisements. My seats are always pre booked so I never have to worry about seating or not getting a ticket.
Why don’t you preorder your food on the app so you don’t have to wait in those stupid lines? It saves so much time.
Saw eternals last night at my local independent theatre and they had 20 minutes of ads then one trailer for no time to die before the movie started, nearly had to refill my popcorn 🤦♂️
When I saw Eternals, my Regal did something very strange. They played their usual 10 minutes of commercials before the showtime, but then after the trailers ended, they played a Matt Damon Crypto commercial. Everyone thought it was a trailer to a new Matt Damon space movie 😂😂😂
da fuq???😂
Omg! That was the same thing that happened at my Eternals Screening on Thursday!! I remember sitting there wondering what the "trailer" was promoting, then it ends with "Crypto" & Google Play & Apple Stores, & I (& others in the audience) laughed & was like, "WTF? Why did they just show us that??"
It was really weird because my theater (Grand 16) had never done that before... lol
@@trevorduhon4622 I hope it doesn’t happen again. It really kills the momentum of the trailers lol
I brought this up quoting John's tweet on twitter. This has been annoying as all hell. I wouldn't mind it if it didn't interrupt the already Wayyyyyyy too many trailers but it does. I've been to all 3 of my Regals and all 3 have done this. Trailer Trailer Trailer Trailer Trailer Trailer Trailer Crypto Commercial Trailer Trailer Trailer. Whyyyyyyyyyyyy? Why not do this before the trailers start? It's annoying. As John said, "Sorry for going on the rant." But that Crypto thing has annoyed me.
That’s why I started going to the movies about 15 min after the start time. I already have my seats picked out and by the time I get my popcorn and drinks the movies about to start.
I’ve been saying this for weeks!!!! Nicoooooole……. I’M ALREADY HERE!!!!!!
This is just one of the many problems cinemas have to stop or get under control if they want to stay relevant and "accessible"
They won't lose their relevancy or accessibility.
@@redfordreddington8834 I said it's one of the problems...there's more problems they need to sort out...there's always room for these things to get worse
There have been 2 to 3 AMC commercials play before the last several movies I've gone to see at AMC, and although they are annoying, they are helpful for me because I'm able to sit through all the movie trailers and have enough time to quickly hop up to go pee one last time and the end of the Nicole Kidman commercial is playing as I sit back down in my seat. I then have a sigh of relief that I didn't miss anything and I won't have to hold my bladder through the whole movie. Lol
When I was watching Eternals in the middle of the trailers they played a cryptocurrency ad…
Yeah! The one with Damon right? Completely idiotic
I saw that one too. With Matt Damon. Then they played more trailers after that
I remember laughing in absurd confusion over this. I liked the trailers, but a self-promotional ad for the theater i’m already sitting in? Wtf
Man, by the last 15 minutes of No Time To Die I had to go to the bathroom so bad, all of that would have been avoided if I wasn't stuck watching 30 minutes of trailers and commercials before the start of a movie that was almost 3 hours long. I am not the only one in that theatre who felt that way!!
Or you could use the bathroom during the trailers before the movie starts...
@@KO.42 I went before the movie at the the theatre, but maybe your bladder is bigger than mine, good for you, but I don't sit still anytime in my life for 3 hours straight unless I am sleeping.
@@KO.42 you do know that trailers are at the beginning of a movie, right? Because I had to go at the end..
Don’t forget getting trailers for the movie you’re about to watch while you’re in the theater about to watch it lol
Hands down a top 10 Campea rant 🤣😂🤣😂... I'm a Regal guy btw, and aren't any better
Nice confirmation Regal dude.
I have been watching you since your AMC days and I will NEVER get tired of you roasting AMC. Lol
Yes, they do this here aswell, it is not 30 mins. but more like 20 mins, about 10 mins of adds and then 2-3 commercials. So most people here (Netherlands) just show up like 15 mins late and then sit down just because the know there are about 20 mins. of adds.
Here in southern New Mexico, we have a locally owned theater chain who have regular rotating reels playing before the trailers even begin for local businesses, the university, and random movie trivia but they usually include a spot or 2 for their upstairs pizza/burger joint at their local Mall location. The ad is understandable because not everyone notices the stairs or elevator in the theater lobby or that they can bring that food in with them to the movie. I still have friends who are surprised to learn the place even exists above the theater. LOL. But once the scheduled start time for the movie hits, they give us about 5 mintues of Just the regular feature movie trailers. Thankfully all the local ads and self promotions are relegated to Before the scheduled start time so people have something to look at if they arrive early..
Where exactly is this theatre? I'm in albuquerque.
@@winman42 Las Cruces. The Cineport 8 in the mall has the upstairs food joint. Love buying a whole pizza and eating it in the movie. The Telshor 12 serves beer and wine now too.
The WORST ones are AMC Dolby theaters selling on Dolby when you're already fucking there. Every time I see that vibrant fire and Ocean wave sound while In Dolby it pisses me off.
John is right I'm not there in a movie theater for too many trailers and commericals just start the damn movie
I was in tears watching this video! 😂
I loved how this randomly happened during the stream lol 😂. I’m definitely gonna be rewatching this a lot.
Thank you for your service sir. You are both a scholar and a gentleman.
I have been waiting for your response on this😂
This is exactly what I was saying as I left the theater last night!
All I can think of is John being like the bloke out of the first Captain America film shouting "Start The God Damn Cartoon" in the cinemas!! 🤣🤣🤣 Xx
Whenever I go to the Cinema, I always know i have about 30 mins before the actual film starts so I try to go in about 25 mins after the start time on the ticket/email
You ain't lying. I would be experiencing the magic if I wasn't watching this commercial is what I was thinking.
John im so glad you addressed this cause I had this exact problem when I went to go see eternals. Like trailers are cool and fine and I love them but the commercials are stupid and a waste of time. They need to get rid if it
I swear this is the standard for Cineplex theatres in Canada
The fucking worst
I’m dying man, you spitting 😂😂😂
Agree 💯 with you John. It definitely takes away from the overall experience. When I worked at a theater for 15 years there would be maybe 10-15 min of ads before the showtime then always about 10 min of trailers at the start time of the film. I just saw eternals yesterday and it had 25 min of trailers and commercials at showtime. I always thought studios were always concerned with overall runtime because of revenue, but its also because they want their 30 min of commercials and ads included!
PREACH JOHN!!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD! I've been ranting about this for years! I absolutely AVOID all AMC theaters because of this! I wish they actually went out of business last year.
And then if you see a movie in IMAX they have the extra IMAX commercial and then the countdown where they tell you more about how great IMAX is. And this is on top of everything else.
I'll one up that stupidity. When I saw Transformers 2, one of the trailers played before the movie was a trailer for Transformers 2.
Thank you for this. Sitting thru 30 minutes of trailers and now these AMC commercials is way too much!!!
Went to the movies for the first time in nearly 2 years yesterday. Same exact thought: “I’m here! Why are you lecturing me?!”. Can’t wait to not go to the movies for another 2 years.
The reason this trailer exists it’s because we, AMC retail investors have saved this company. And this AMC advertising with Nicole Kidman was the greatest ad for a movie Theater ever. It made me cry, I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
Thus why i love my Alamo Drafthouses. 30 min preshow before the start time of the movie, couple quick bar and Alamo special spots, then 3 to 5 trailers and movie starts. Way faster than any other theater in town and no dumb play game on your phones or the same 3 concession commercials.
I'm a casual moviegoer, and in the past I've never really cared or remembered which company owned the movie theater. I went out of my way to see Dune at the largest available AMC IMAX. I only remember that because of the AMC commercial. I had a good experience, and I associate that with both AMC and IMAX. Maybe next time I see a movie that doesn't demand the largest screen, I'll go to the closer AMC theater, because I remember that AMC did it right when I saw Dune.
You just made the perfect rebuttal to John's rant! This is exactly why they showed that AMC commercial before the movie at AMC. So you remember that you are at AMC and associate the good time you had at AMC with AMC!
Okay. So show one.
You don’t remember where you are unless there’s a commercial for it?
@@escott1981 are u working for amc lol
That’s ridiculous man
Good rant but......if theaters were smart ( which they're not) they would place TVs in the halls we walk through TO GET TO the theater of choice. THE COMMERCIALS CAN PLAY ON THOSE TVS AND THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO WATCH THOSE TRAILERS/COMMERCIALS CAN DO SO And by moving the annoying commercials into the hallway that would ( in theory depending on the run time of a film) ADD AN ADDITIONAL SHOWING OF THAT FILM PER THEATER PER DAY John forgot that little part of the rant. But then whether I say or John does theaters will never learn yet they'll pay Nichole Kidman to remind us of the"" magic "" of the theater experience. This is the main reason I've cut way back on going to theaters.
Tip to going to the movies: Show up late. Grab your popcorn, wait for that air fried pizza. Hell when I usually see a movie with my then roommate, we'd show up 20 mins late into the movie playing. 🤦
I literally think this any time I go to a movie. “I’m already here. Movie please.”
Popcorn is nothing but a butter delivery device! 😂🤣😂
Guys, just time it couple times at your local theater to know the average length of ads.
First time was 22 minutes, second was 23?
Well, then you're safe to show up 20 minutes late to the showtime, generally speaking.
You'd probably still have to watch a trailer or two every now & then, but you won't sit through half an hour of them and you won't be late.
@@christophercrawford2736
It did.
I always time it, the average length of trailers in AMC before the pandemic was about 17 minutes.
So I tried to come within 15.
It is about 24 minutes now.
I'm constantly late for 20 minutes, and still I always come before the movie starts.
@@grim_2000 adjusting to it doesn't take away from the fact that an unnecessary problem still exists. 15 minutes of trailers was acceptable, 25-30 minutes of trailers and commercials is far from it.
@@Mr10before9
I'm not saying that half an hour of ads is OK.
I agree that it's not.
My suggestion is how to fix the problem for yourself
@@christophercrawford2736
It depends on the theater, I guess.
I'm talking about AMC specifically.
Haven't been to other theaters this year (but I suspect it's also longer, cause theaters are struggling for money nowadays)
@@christophercrawford2736
AMC are the longest IMHO.
Regal & Cinemark run long ads as well, but few minutes shorter most times.
Independent theaters are usually under 15 minutes in my experience.
Don't know how things are in 2021 though
We have 15 minutes of trailers in my local theatres that starting to play from 5 minutes before the publicized showtime. So the actual movie starts 10 minutes after the publicized showtime
When I saw Antlers last money they showed so many trailers that I just wanted the film to start. Doesn’t help that when you think the film is going to start they show a AMC ad about seeing films. AMC just stop
I’m kinda surprised he doesn’t know Nicole kidmans name off the top of his head but yes this is insanity. I guess that’s where a good chunk of that Reddit money went to.
😂😂😂 we love those rants!
If you watch movies in the Dolby theaters its pretty bad...I show up 15 mins late every time. AMC 100 years, AMC A-list, Nicole ad and then The Screen is still on.
It’s probably the cringiest thing I have ever had to sit through in a theater
Australian cinemas are notorious for this. A movie might be advertised as a 7pm start time. It won’t actually start until 730.
“Oh it’s because we want to give the late people a chance to turn up and get seated”
BULLSHIT.
I turn up 30 minutes before the start time to allow for parking, snack purchasing and quick toilet.
Apparently there’s a large contingent of people who like to walk into a movie 30 minutes after it’s started.
30 mins of commercials and trailers kills the mood. It needs to stop.
4:13 "popcorn is nothing but a butter delivery device" 😂😂, love it, definitely using that
Best rant I’ve heard in a good long while. Love It! And spot on everything you’ve said.
Agreed. Like even 10 minutes of trailers is a lot. Going to see a movie then getting pissed off right before you see the movie is a horrible experience.
There ought to be a cap of 3-5 trailers/commercials. People do need to advertise their services, but I've never needed anyone to show me where the concession stand was in any theater.
Just seeing the thumbnail of this I'm like THANK YOU!
Yes! We don’t need ads. Like we already know about “the magic of cinema”, because we’re at the theater 🙄
They do that at my Regal theater too. An ad for Regal Unlimited, an ad for the sodas etc and then a lame ad about how working there will get you started in the movie business. Also, they snuck a bitcoin ad halfway thru the trailers.
This reminds me of when I went to see Batman vs Superman at AMC. The ticket guy said "You're gonna love Batman in this movie man" to which I said "I'm actually a Superman fan". Then with the most pity-filled face I've ever seen he said "Oh, I'm sorry". He was right. It was and is a great Batman movie.
I just saw it this weekend before Eternals for the first time. The thing that struck me about it is that the theater that Nicole Kidman was in looked way better than the theater that I was actually in. Wide comfy leather loveseats while im in a standard fabric seated IMAX theater with nachos sauce and popcorn covering the seats. I felt like that was false advertisement.
It's reasons like this is why I am currently an Alamo Drafthouse fan. They do not play commercials. They play really old funny commercials from forty or fifty years ago or other kinds of videos to keep you entertained til the movie starts.
Being totally honest, I liked the Nicole Kidman ad. She was talking about the ambiance of the AMC theaters and mentioned specifically when the lights turn down right as it was happening in my theater.
Yes, is 25 minutes of trailers and ads too long? Sure. But it's what we've come to expect going to the movies
My theatre only shows 5 trailers and no commercials. I'm very grateful...
I saw that same commercial while seeing Dune in theaters and thought the same thing.
My movie theater only shows 3 movie trailers. My movie theater doesn't put up with 20-25 minutes of tarilers
If you go to AMC, it’s 26 minutes worth of trailers starting at the time you book your movie for. Then another minute or 2 for the AMC commercial. So if your movie is at 7, it really starts at 7:26/28 area. So you have that extra time to get to your assigned seat
when we use to go to the theaters there use to be tons of trailers and then my mom would turn to me and say. " i forgot what are we watching." XD but the kidman thing i agree, XD its like.. uh hello? did i go into the wrong chain or something?
I usually arrive at the movie theater about 45 mins early for a movie even tho we can pick our seats online and have them saved for us. I arrive early because my theater (Alamo Drafthouse) shows several fun videos, clips, old toy commercials, youtube videos, etc about or relating to the general content of the movie and that's fun to see! Is it a ploy just to make sure we are there to see the trailers and real commercials they show before the movie starts? Perhaps, so congrats on them for coming up with a successful strategy! lol
Here in South Africa the theatres showed maybe three to four trailers and the rest of the time before the movie starts they show commercials for cigarettes and alcohol.
Somehow, heartbreak feels good in a place like this
Wow that guy got his $20 worth for that question 😆
Yes! I’m from Memphis and we have a local company(Malco) running the market here and have no AMC’s. But went to an AMC a few months ago and was amazed that it took 30 mins for the movie to start.
30 mins ad's and trailers before hand has been standard in the UK since at least the late 1980's.
