I really dont know what "governs" the advertisement for how many previews a certain said film is allowed to have. Its my theory that the bigger the budget is for a film that you are currently seeing, the more previews are going to have. I was really hoping to see a preview for the upcoming "Transformers" movie due out on 7/4/07.
I really dont know what films in theatres now have this preview. It seems like certain films have certain previews attached to them. So if I want to see a certain preview for a certain film, then I have to see whatever film has that specific preview for it, regardless if i want to see the film or not. Then again, there is always the internet which carries previews for everything..but I like the mammoth screen and the dolby digital experience,.yadda yadda yadda.
It seems like 10, 15 years ago, you could go to a theatre and see a film and be treated to about a good 20 minutes worth of previews. Recently, it seems like a lot of films dont even have 5 minutes worth of previews anymore. This, of course, sucks if youre running late for a showing, or there is a long ass line at the concession stand.
So, if anyone has the definitive answer to this two-part mystery, please respond.
Just to recap, the two main questions presented here are:
1. Are certain previews only assigned to certain films?
2. Has the amount of previews shown in theatres been reduced in recent years?
