Tell the Theater Chain CEO's: Stop the Pre-Movie Ads
Are you tired of being held hostage at the movie theater? Click here to take action.
Are you fed up with paying too much for a movie ticket, and then being forced to watch pre-movie commercials?
Most Americans are. According to an InsightExpress poll released on November 17th, 53% of moviegoers want movie theaters to stop running pre-movie commercials, and 27% say that the ads "will lead them to decrease the number of trips they take to the theater."
Problem is: the five largest movie theater chains all show pre-movie commercials.
It's time to send a clear message to movie theater CEOs who have no respect for their paying customers.
Here's what you can do:
1) Send an email directly to the CEOs of the five largest movie theater chains, telling them to stop running pre-movie ads. Click here: http://actionstudio.org/?go=1097.
2) Avoid theaters that show pre-movie ads. Don't see movies at Regal, AMC, Cinemark, Carmike, Loews and National Amusements. They all run pre-movie ads. Century Theaters doesn't. (It's probably best to go to an independent theater.)
