[WESTERNJOURNAL] Democratic Connecticut state Sen. Martin Looney proposed a bill that would require Connecticut movie theaters to publish a film's actual start time.
Moviegoers know that times listed on movie tickets indicate when the previews begin, not the actual movie.
If passed, S.B. 797 would require theaters to publish both times on tickets.
''It seems to be an abuse of people's time,'' Looney told The Register Citizen. ''If they want to get there early and watch the promos, they can. But if they just want to see the feature, they ought to be able to get there just in time for that.''
So far, the only pushback has been from theater managers, Looney said, according to KNOE.
After all, they want people actually watching the previews. |
