Trailers before the movie: How many is too many? For years now, I’ve counted on trailers to give me ten minutes of wiggle room after the official start time of a movie — just enough to make a run for the concession stand or the bathroom before the main attraction. But it looks like I don’t need to rush anymore.

5 trailers in 20 minutes seems roughly right. When I plan ahead I typically buy my ticket 15 mins after showtime and I'm sitting as the opening credits come up. Movie trailers are regulated to be no longer than 2.5 minutes, so the # of trailers would be average time divided by 2.5. Given Roderick's 18-minute # above, this means 7 trailers.

Theater owners, who feel the brunt of complaints from the public, believe trailers are often too long and can give away too much of the plot. It's not uncommon for many circuits to play seven or eight trailers before a film. That translates to 17.5 minutes to 20 minutes, on top of in-house advertising.

Earlier this year, the National Association of Theater Owners ruled that trailers should no longer exceed two minutes—that’s 30 seconds shorter than the previous norm—and requested theaters stop playing previews more than four months in advance of a film's release.

At AMC theaters they tell you it's 15 minutes, give or take a few minutes. I always calculate the 15 minutes onto the runtime of the movie to see when I'll get out of the theater and it's usually right. However, at one of our local theaters they only show one movie preview per movie so it might depend on where you go.
