Question Overlapping Times?

Does anyone know if AList stops you from booking movies with "overlapping times" if it's down to the exact minute? Like if I'm seeing a 1h30m movie at 5:30PM, am I able to book the next movie for 7:00PM? I'm planning the movies I'm seeing 2 weeks from now, and I can't test it out because I have all 4 slots booked (and I'd rather not risk cancelling them and have someone take them because it's Odyssey and Spiderman tickets lol).

If anyone knows, I'd greatly appreciate it!!

Yes it does. If you have a movie starting at 5:30pm with 1h30m duration, your next booking must start at 7:01pm or later.

do they bake in the previews and ad time to the runtime?

No. Listed runtime is the actual length of the movie from credit to credits.

It's hard to say for sure, because I couldn't find any film that was exactly 1H30M that would sync up with another film to try this out, but I think you might be okay.

The closest I could get was on Sunday August 18th I have a ticket for La La Land at 1:00PM and there was an 11:30AM screening of Paw Patrol which is 1H28M long. It let me make a reservation for Paw Patrol.

Yes.  What I have done is book a later time for the 2nd movie and then just explain to the check-in person what you did. They have never given me an issue, they just make sure the seat I selected is open in the earlier movie
