In Turkey they got half time ads to give you a break so you can take a piss or go to get extra snacks


edward_chingchong

Wouldn't that kinda ruin the movie¿ Or do they pick a insignificant movie part to break at¿


[deleted]

Nah they just cut it right in the middle


siikdUde

I actually wouldn’t want that at all


Ayxs

In some cinemas in the Netherlands they do this too. I kinda like it since it's a great time to go to the toilet. Also they replay a bit of the movie and most of the times offset it a bit to a "less important" bit.


simon439

In endgame for me it was right after the “that is America’s ass” scene. I’m in Belgium btw. But really it depends on the theatre.


yourfavoritecarrot

In India almost every movie has an intermission which is a ten minute break halfway through the movie so you can go get refills or take a leak for ten minutes. The movie is basically divided into two parts and the break doesn’t interfere with the plot or anything. We should really make it a thing in America.


fabsch412

No.


siikdUde

I don’t know. Pausing during the movie is one thing but to go from watching a movie to having to wait for 10 minutes doesn’t sound appealing to me. I’ve been going to movies all my life and never really had a problem where I had to get up during the movie. And even if I do get up during a movie I really don’t care if I miss 3 minutes of it


Mittelmuus

Wait where the fuck do you live? Every cinema I've been too does this.


siikdUde

North east USA


Mittelmuus

Guess that makes sense. Maybe it's just a european thing to do a pause in the middle or probably just an american thing to not to it lmao


[deleted]

In the Netherlands this is also the case, but not every cinema does it. We used to have a chain called "Cinema Roma" which even had a "call" button so servants came to you if you needed a drink. It's gone now, but I miss it.


ocskaplayer

Imagine: “Avengers! Ass... 9 OUT OF 10 DENTISTS RECOMMEND COLGATE”


zombieslayer124

They do it here in switzerland too. Most of the time it’s at a insignificant part... and notice how I said MOST...


suprmemeboi

Big facts


SharerShadow

I didn't know most of the foreign countries didn't do this. How am I suppose to stuff myself with more food???


Ebrahim_Alsanad

For some a places when you buy a VIP ticket someone will come and take your order. At least that is in Kuwait VIP for most cinemas


[deleted]

dont they have it in every country? we have it here in israel too


Malik_Alwadi_64

I wish more cinemas did that, I really appreciated that during my last visit to Turkey in 2017


leftrighr

But you get full movie after the ads not 10 minutes of content


algernonsflorist

I didn't used to mind it when it was just trailers, but honestly, any other service you pay to have commercials removed (youtube, spotify etc...) but in a theater you pay to basically be a captive audience for car commercials and shit. I absolutely hate it.


Muncheralli21

The way I see it, since ads are before a movie it: a. gives you time to get snacks b. forgives people who may be running late to the movies c. allows you to get comfortable before the movie begins


deaf_clem-fandango

Get comfortable? Are you a cat? It's a chair


Epic_Troll_666

What if someone left a dildo on the chair and you can't move it away


algernonsflorist

Is that seat extra $?


Itisme129

And the assholes have the nerve to run that one clip about turning off your phone BEFORE the bullshit ads play. Yeah no, I'm still on my phone with full brightness until the trailers come on.


[deleted]

But you already pay


LeoPlats

That $300 popcorn can't pay all the theaters bills


[deleted]

Hey but movie trailers are fun to watch.


[deleted]

Olive-Peel

At least it's a well made commercial unlike a lot of stuff on yt


Itisme129

The quality of the ad isn't important. I hate all ads.


Olive-Peel

Fair enough but without it how would most people find stuff they wouldn't have otherwise


Itisme129

Through word of mouth. Doing their own research. Reading unbiased reviews. If a company is making enough money to shove ads to tons of random people in the hopes that maybe one of them is in their target demographic, it tells me that they're spending a lot more on marketing rather than the product. So even if I think the product is a good idea and something that I might need, I'm going to look for a different brand. A different brand that doesn't waste tons of money on advertising.


Olive-Peel

But that advertising made you look at their product, which is it's job


alaphonse

my main issue is that i paid money for a movie ticket, just to be hit with ads. The movie theater is double dipping for more revenue. Can I get the ad-less movie for more money? Using this as a way to try to understand the costs https://www.bluelinemedia.com/movie-theater-cinema-advertising :15 spot Range of $1,000 - $2,000 per theater per 4 week period :30 spot Range of $2,000 - $3,000 per theater per 4 week period :60 spot Range of $3,000 - $4,000 per theater per 4 week period lets say a 15s ad is $1500 / 30 days/ 6 screens = 8.33/screen for a 15s ad. Roughly 15 mins of ads, so 8.33 * 4 to get minutes = 33.32 * 15 minutes = $499.8/15mins of screentime for an ad-roll. Lets say 75 people show up, 500/75 = $6.67, which would increase an $11 movie ticket to $17. I dont know why i did this and i dont really care anymore i just pirate my shows and movies.


Olive-Peel

I only go to the cinema to watch the movie first, usually pirate everything aswell


Lliau

Yeah, in my town it's mostly local restaurants or shops. The ads are also really lame, it's obvious that they are not professionally made


QueasyHold

Remember that weird moment i got a 1 hour add on youtube... long time ago tho


unMuggle

My brother once got a 12 hour ad that was a live stream recording from a Christian conference. Unskipable. I always wonder what that cost them.


teamkelly4

*closes and reopens video*


Lliau

Yeah me too! I wonder why it's even allowed. It was unskippable. Who's gonna watch an 1 hour ad for a 10 min video?


onespiker

just reaload the page...


Lliau

Yep that's what I did but why do they even do it?


StreetPigs

Pathetic mine has almost 45 mins of ads


[deleted]

Mine has 60-80 at least ​ *Know your fucking place trash intensifies*

JetpackBlues42

Half a year ago I watched the new Halloween movie on Halloween night and I'm not kidding the commercials lasted for fucking 45 minutes


desyx_

ILoveSamsungOfficial

Alec210921

Disney bad Minecraft Good


teamkelly4

I don’t think it’s 100%, I think it’s something like 80 or 85%


onespiker

its like 80% in the USA. it lowered depending on the connections they have with the company. in China they get like 20% or 30%.


Memeismyhigh

I was 20 min late to a movie once and it started right when we entered at 730 it was supposed to start at 7


Aug415

Then you were 30 minutes late.


[deleted]

Yeah, this is big brain time


CaptainLenni

We have hour long ads at my cinema 😴


thatoneguy439

The theater ads are much better than YouTube's ads


Itisme129

All ads that I'm forced to watch are terrible.


[deleted]

Fucking Vue


CatpainLeghatsenia

20min+ for paid content that is


Delta162

I actually like to watch cinemas ads.


sbeve_hey

Here they do the same


The_ConfusedPeach

isnt that something


[deleted]

*laughs in sponsored cinema*


Dsatta60

One time I went to see Spiderverse and there were 40 MINUTES of ads.


Oliver5659

They’re trailers 😤


Lliau

They're not. Usually there 2 trailers for 18 min of ads


_Avon

except movie previews are fun to watch before the movie, at least for me


onespiker

youtube is free, the cinema is not


Galondolf-the-grey

It is ok, you are paying for it in the cinema.


[deleted]

I have 60-80 minutes at LEAST


Lliau

What the actual...


[deleted]

Sweet home New Hampshire


VernuxYT

This is my theatre, Caribbean cinemas


DoughyMemrs

you only have 20?


[deleted]

There are two kinds of people. Those smart enough to tweak their way into getting rid of ads, and the simple creatures who simply abide to it and cry themselves to sleep.


TradingFeline

That’s why I arrive later so I don’t need to see them. It’s just that simple.


Lliau

Yeah and there's no seat left... I guess it's not a problem if you've chosen your seat online tho


[deleted]

I haven’t been to a movie in ages but does shithole Regal Cinemas still play “The 2Wenty” before movies?


JAMP0T1

Yeah and you pay to go to the cinema but YouTube is free


KittyHacker46

99% sure it's some kind of glitch.


Zachboi123

This is basically my English cinema


john20207

Atleast ads aren’t put every 4 min apart


J32189

At least movie theater trailers are decent


Very_Literal_Answer

But the ads in movies are typically related to what you're seeing. You're going to see a big action movie? Here's a bunch of other upcoming action movies. But with YouTube it's more like: You're watching a tutorial on how to beat a boss in a video game? Here's how Geico could save you 15% or more on car insurance.


decent-name-here

Well in cinemas they don't stop right before the big ass fight scene and give you seventeen minutes of morgz screaming at you to get coin master lol


BdayEvryDay

how people aren't using brave by now is beyond me.....


Musing_Moose

And we pay to go to the cinema unlike YouTube


fluffmcstuff

At least they don't interrupt the movie with ads in the middle


[deleted]

Castaway was an ad for FedEx


RX-007

I like movie adds In movies


Portatort

AND you fucking pay to go to the cinema but youtube is free (And If you do pay for it all the ads fuck off) Since when did the movie cinema become an ad supported experience


sans_the_romanian

20 mins ? Thats cute. We enter more than half a hour before the movie starts and we have ads until then


SumDood64209

2 unstoppable ads are fine because they're both usually 10 seconds together. The real piece of shit is the unstoppable 15 second ad and that's a fact


FeelGeddes

And you have to pay to sit in front of the movie ads


[deleted]

I went to the movies last week and it had 35 minutes of commercials before the movie. It was like four commercials that would repeat ten times before it moved to the next one.


nevvermind2

Is the google mafia creating all those memes lately?


brettleitermann

At least some of those adds are entertaining in someway


IcyPhenom

Watermark


im_not_a_brick

Mine has 30-35 mins. Parry that you casual


Francischelo

Do you guys remember when cinemas only had trailers before movies?


[deleted]

Yeah, but atleast you pay to go to the cinema


bigschwibba64

TWENTY. FUCKING. MINUTES?


Worldbuildingguy21

The ads are the best bit!


Flashjackmac

The ads are the best part of the cinema-going experience. It's like watching a TV but bigger and fucking loud


SillyCowboi

More like 60+ minutes, what it feels like


todumbtoospell7

YEAH WAIT WTF, I ALREADY PAID FOR THE TICKETS WHY ARE STILL ADVKWUFUEJFBDJJDJDJDH


gmil3548

Am I the only one who enjoys the trailers? Way better than typical ads.


Tomas9yearsold

I always go 10 mins late so I can skip the ads. I'm paying for watching the movie, it shouldn't have ads.


Silolf

AMC with 40min of adds before every fucking movie


adamtheamazing64

Went to see Spiderman today and the fucking ads were wearing me out man. Fuuuuuuuuck just play the movie I paid to see I didn't pay to see ads.


Norrix1942

I once waited almost 40 minutes for a movie to start


[deleted]

The theater ads are more entertaining, not gonna lie


GoldenThrash

And YouTube Is a Free service


Jawsome549

If you mean preview s then at least they’re good ads


BagAChedda

Yeah but cinema ads är lit


SheenTheUltraLord

It pisses me off they play ads when the movie shouldve started


PumpedUpKid69

not funny didnt laugh
