Class Action Lawsuit Against Movie Theater?

Hello. I was wondering hypothetically could one sue a movie theater if they purchased a movie ticket for a movie at 5:00 and the movie starts at 5:20 because of all the previews. Is the movie ticket a contract between the theater and the movie goer and since the movie didn't start on time, is this breaking the contract? Is there any liability against the theater for fraud? In addition, isn't there ethical issues in showing the movie twenty minutes late because of the theater showing commercials? If anyone has any insight or comments it would much appreciated, thanks!

I don't think you have anything there. If everyone got sued because something didn't start exactly on time there would be chaos. Mass transit, any sporting event, etc. Nothing starts exactly on time. As far as the trailers shown before the movie, if one doesn't like them, one doesn't have to watch them.
Reply:no. you would be wasting your money. theaters have been showing previews/commericals for years. i assume this isnt your first movie so why is this all of a sudden news to you? movies start typically 10 after the scheduled time. for this to be a class action suit, you would need to get many other people who want to spend money on something like this and sue the theater
Reply:This is why the courts are clogged with trash non-cases.
Reply:Movie theatres rely on the income from those advertisments. Without them a movie ticket would cost more.





Besides, if you have ever been to court, it rarely starts on time. It would be tough to find sympathy there, if they are just as bad.
