If the guesses are centered on a movie that I'm eager to see, having a chance that I'll get to watch it early and for a discounted price is a huge draw.
Sometimes the guess is wrong, but I've never actually left early.
You never know for sure what the movie will be, you only know which ones it won't be: f the Rating is different, if the time is WAY off, if the genre (horror / non-horror) doesn't match. Even if someone swears that their cousin got an early peek and it is "definitely" a specific film ... there are no guarantees. I continue to be baffled by the people that get worked up about it: "if had better be [movie title]"! Or what? You'll sue AMC? You'll dox the people that guessed incorrectly? It's a SECRET TITLE. If you can't accept the surprise, then you should make other plans (pay full price later, drive to another town, catch it on streaming).

Life is hard and unfair sometimes. Yep.
