10 Ways You're Ruining Movies For Everyone

2. No Sense Of Punctuality

Psycho Dont Be Late Being late to a movie isn€™t the worst thing you could do in a cinema, but it at least shows a certain degree of thoughtlessness on your behalf if you€™re interrupting everyone just as they€™re getting into the groove of a movie, bustling past seats and dropping popcorn on them in the dark as you try to coolly act as though the credits haven€™t even started yet. That said, some people actually intend on arriving late these days due to the extravagant length of the adverts and movie trailers before a movie starts (upwards of 25 minutes in most multiplex showings, we€™ve found). A clever time-saving trick, but only if you actually gauge the length of the pre-show filler correctly and get your seats before the curtain€™s called. If not, you€™ll probably end up looking like more of a wally than the shnooks who sat through the credits but actually arrived on time.
