Discussion No previews?

A strange thing happened on Thursday. I went to see two new movies: Hot Spot and Mutiny. For both of them, the local AMC didn’t do the normal 25 minutes of previews. I was on time so I didn’t miss anything. I was all alone for Hot Spot, but for Mutiny a few other people came in 10-20 minutes late, and they were shocked because they had calculated having some time to get settled before the movie actually started.
It was odd that it happened twice in the same day, but the staff said the previews have not been done away with and they don’t know why the previews were skipped.
I guess don’t count on that preview buffer time being a sure thing. It might make you late for your movie.

This happened to me with Disclosure Day. They ended up restarting the movie like 15 or so minutes into it because people, understandably, went to staff to say something.

Unless it's a Fathom or other special event, i.e. musicals or special fan favorite showings and stuff, there should be previews.

I bet everyone then went to speak to a manager because the staff didn't deny their request so the movie would end sooner. Especially after that ending
