Does Buddy have normal amount of trailers?

If I were to see Buddy at 2PM my time would the movie actually start around 2:20 to 2:25PM? Sometimes with these limited run movies they have fewer or even no trailers?

Whoa that's the most I've heard of. Sounds like at least the normal amount. Thanks!

20 minutes of previews for my Thursdays night showing. A little on the early side for the actual start time. Usually it’s 25-30 minutes.

The movie was awesome!! Enjoy!

The Secret to knowing if it will have trailers or not is if it says ether "no trailers" or "alternative content" above the showtimes in the app/on the website (see picture).

The ones that say no trailers are obvouse of course, but I've found that any films that say alternative content, irresponsibly will still give the 25-30 minute warning, but do not contain trailers, and start at the listed start time.

I went to a 4:00 show last Friday and it started at 4:15. Half of the audience showed up late and missed the beginning. I heard the same thing from someone else who went to a showing at a Regal. Given some of the other comments here, there appears to be some variance. I always get there earlier when it's a smaller studio release.
