In the UK in 2007 I saw a movie in the UK and was pleased to experience, IMO, how the movie going experience should be. The movie was scheduled to start at 4:30pm. I arrive in the theatre at 4:20pm, and noticed that the previews and advertisements had already started. At 4:30pm the feature movie started right away.
This makes for a far better movie experience than what I see today in Canada, where a 4:30 screening really means a 4:50 screening following 20 minutes of previews and cellphone commercials.
Somehow the theatre in the UK is able to make enough money with this model, so how about it Toronto, can we start movies when they're scheduled and show us the ads and previews beforehand? If we want to see them, we'll come early.
