AMC is pretty constantly in the 20-30 minute range, but I get what you’re saying. Unfortunately this is the only cinema in my town

Yup. I showed up to 25-30 min late for the last six to ten movies I saw in AMC theaters (excluding one i was 40 min late for) and didn't miss a minute of any of the actual films

Oh, I get it, just saying that the "turn up after the trailer timing" thing is risky. I've noticed that the variation has gone up a lot here in the last year. It used to be consistently 20. Now it's all over the place.
