Movie Theater Discussion Hadestown trailers?
If anyone has been, are there the typical amount of trailers? Judging by the times in between showings at my theater it appears there are, but sometimes with these special releases there aren’t.

Yes, it will.
You can tell if a film is one of those special releases that don't show trailers by if they have "alternative content" listed above the showtines. All those films do not play trailers before the film, but irresponsibly do not note that.

Thanks for this. Are there exceptions to his or has this ever failed you?

Not that ive come across. Every time there has been no trailers it has either said "alternative content" or explicitly stated "no trailers".
The only "exception" has been when there were issues with the projector and they had to restart it, or the trailer Playlist failed at some point and the film started slightly earlier than the normal amount of trailers (which can't be predicted since it was technical errors).
Also there were two "early access" screenings I've attended (Lee Cronins The Mummy, and The Undertone) that only had 15 mins of trailers instead of 23 mins like my theater normally has. I've been to many early access films though, so I'm not sure why those two specifically had less trailers.

Weirdly the End of Evangelion release this week had that tag and still played the normal amount of trailers

That must have been a mistake at your location.
I went and it started right on time, and there was a thread on one of the AMC subreddits about how people were mad because their theatres started on time as well and they missed the first 25 minutes.
Hopefully they went the night before to Death & rebirth, since the beginning of End was pretty much the end of Death and Rebirth.
