    Go 20 min later if you’re going to something like an AMC theater. AMC is particularly bad.

    But better that, support locally owned theaters or smaller companies in general. They generally plug the snack bar, tell you to turn off your phone, then cut to trailers.

        I should’ve clarified. Locally owned independent theaters.

        That said, not everyone has those. They tend to exist in big urban areas, or very small communities. If you’re in the middle, you get the chains.
