    First time I remember going to see a movie was about 20 years ago. There might’ve been a movie preview or two; I don’t remember ads. Both “trailers” and ads have gotten progressively worse over the years - almost to the point that you’d think they alone fund the movie and the theatre - but you still pay a ridiculous ticket price.

      Adverts have been on at the cinema for as long as I remember although they might have been for products sold at the cinema.

      This is the oldest advert that I remember and it’s from 1986. https://youtu.be/rlyrlsf3EfA

      Edit: although your point of both previews and ads getting progressively worse is still very correct.
