PoA Trailer - One Option

[Karla L. Rasnake]

Hello,

I've lurked here forever, but I don't believe I've ever posted before.  I'll attempt to keep this from veering too far OT, but, for those of you who aren't thrilled with the idea of sitting through Looney Toons, I'm a theatre employee with possible solutions . . . 

Go buy a ticket to something you'd like to watch, and then ask to speak with a theatre manager.  I'm an assistant manager, and I've had plenty of instances when customers have approached me because they have been dying to see a trailer (but not the movie it's attached to).  As long as the customers have a ticket to something and they come to me about it instead of sneaking around the theatre on their own, I always let them pop into the theatre where their anticipated trailer is playing  before they go into the movie they bought tickets for.  Most theatres will want to keep their customers happy, so they should be glad to help you out with something small like this, especially if you're already there to watch another movie.  

If you're really intent on not staying, another option (sure to be less popular with the theatre staff) might be to buy the ticket, stay through the trailer, and then get a refund (my theatre chain doesn't have restrictions on this, but I know *some* of them do, particularly for highly anticipated trailers like Harry Potter, so you may want to check into that before pursuing this option).

Also, someone asked about trailer placement -- most trailers that go on a movie (for my theatre, at least) are assigned by our corporate office, but the last trailer is almost always attached.  It's usually from the same studio as the movie you're watching (in this case, PoA and Looney Toons are both WB) and if there is an attached trailer, it's attached to *all* prints of the movie.  I *believe* this is true even outside the US, but I'm not absolutely certain.  Since PoA has been announced as the attached, it's a good bet that as long as your theatre gets Looney Toons, they'll be playing the PoA trailer. 

Hope some of this has been helpful!
