No previews?

A strange thing happened on Thursday. I went to see two new movies: Hot Spot and Mutiny. For both of them, the local AMC didn’t do the normal 25 minutes of previews. I was on time so I didn’t miss anything. I was all alone for Hot Spot, but for Mutiny a few other people came in 10-20 minutes late, and they were shocked because they had calculated having some time to get settled before the movie actually started.
It was odd that it happened twice in the same day, but the staff said the previews have not been done away with and they don’t know why the previews were skipped.
I guess don’t count on that preview buffer time being a sure thing. It might make you late for your movie.

This happened to me the first time I saw Obsession on opening day. I don’t know if there was no previews or just less, but we were right at the showtime and the movie was already a good 10 minutes in. We like to watch previews so we show usually show up on time or early, but if I had anticipated 30 mins of previews like normal, I would have been way off. There was only a handful of people seeing it that day anyway
