Cinemas earn cash from adverts, while customers faced with extra time on their hands are more likely to buy drinks and snacks. Most cinema chains claim online that their adverts and trailers run for between 15 and 30 minutes before the film begins. Film fans can arrive to meet performance times they have read online — only to find the movie does not actually begin for half an hour [File photo].

Thanks, that sounds about right. The show finishes at and the film is 90 mins long, so working backwards it looks like Now I remember why I rarely go to the cinema.
You can bank on 25 minutes at least, sometimes slightly more. Always best to bear that in mind when considering your timings. If its a popular film i have to be at my local Vue 20 mins before the ads start to get a decent seat unless you pay for upgraded seating.

Format issues keeping the trailers down? The film Gravity started at 6 so 30 minutes of ads. There were only about 6 other people in the cinema We nabbed some VIP seats which were quite nice. It was a great film though, glad i saw Sandra Bullock on the big screen in 3D.
