me being extremely disappointed as I would not have taken the time 
or money stopped at the customer relations booth and was told that 
it is actually at the discretion of the theater which previews go 
with which film. I said I was really bummed and would not have come 
so he gave me a free popcorn coupon. So it is not just WB but the 
theaters too who decide. I guess the only way to assure you will see 
it is to ask the theater prior to buying a ticket. Maybe then they 
will add it. Guess it is worth a try.>>>>>>>
 
Like I mentioned in my previous post sometimes theatres do rotate previews. Like seeing an HP trailer one time then having it replaced with a Bewitched one. Generally there are certain universal trailers that deals/contracts have been made to tie to certain movies. At other instances the theatre has the rights to certain ones within each movie (more so than they will show) and splice in different ones. We had a long conversation about this in film class after we all saw Star Wars together and we mentioned how previews were different at different showings. If a preview is shown after the lights go down it'll usually be on all showings because its attached to the movie's real itself. I don't think theatres particularly care, however, which previews they show because from their standpoint the money obtained from people coming to see the movie alone does nothing for them. They lost more money from giving you free popcorn than from refunding you're ticket (Since theatres don't get money from ticketsales but rather from concession etc...ticket money goes to the studio). With something like star wars alternating previews can be helpful to studios cuz more people see more previews when going to repeat showings.
