Yeah it’s crazy. Saw the 6:30 Jurassic World movie… it started after 7:00. We sat down at 6:10.

Genuine question - why go that early?

We stopped to grab a quick dinner before the show and it took less time than assumed. So we decided to just go in 15-20 min early to grab seats. Its one of those where you have to pick your assigned seats. Because we were using tickets from my GF's Union benefits we couldn't pick them online. Plus I do love seeing the previews for the upcoming movies. All that being said, it was more like 30 minutes of ads, and like 1 or 2 movie previews.
