    So the cinema can get more showings in and make more money or because the younger generation can’t pay attention?

      One of the best cinema experiences I’ve had in the last few years was going to a 10:30 am screening of The Brutalist, with an intermission and a head-up on how many ads and trailers were being shoved in before the show started.

      RTFA, they talk about it. Yes, it’s so they can get more showings in… than one in an evening, which longer films force them to cut down to.
