This is true. Sure they’re Marvel’s “First Family” but even before the MCU or any of the fox movies they were less popular than The Avengers, who were less popular than the X-men.
Also, putting the movie up against Superman, who is DC’s #1 or #2 character, was a bad call.
MCU used to be able to turn B- and C-list heroes into the biggest stars. I’m pretty sure Fantastic Four was more well known than Guardians of the Galaxy when that came out.
Cannot get my head around this complaint. They don’t lock the doors at show time, so roll in 20-minutes late. That’s what we did for Superman. Caught a couple of trailers then the movie started.
Meh. You’re smart enough to figure the actual run time. Hating the lie is good enough! I just won’t ban theaters over it. Rare enough that we go anyway. Once a year at most? And even then, only for something that excites me.
I actually timed it at the last two movies I went to because I find that annoying too. It’s 18 minutes, including trailers (which I don’t mind) where I live.
So I planned to show up 10 minutes after show time.
Fantastic Four have never been a very profitable property
20th Century Fox kinda destroyed any hype for new Fantastic Four movies.

I thought the movie was great though.

But in a bad way, in this case FFs reputation works against it. Pretty much all the previous movies were panned.
I’d like to see it but not enough to drop $20 for a ticket and being forced to watch an hour of ads

Because calling it the “start time” is a lie.
Fine, be offended by the lie! No problem. But my point was that no one is forcing you to watch the ads and trailers.
It also means that I don’t know when the movie ends because the run time doesn’t matter anymore.
But it’s mostly the lying.
And the ads.

I went on Tuesday for $10 and didn’t buy snacks 🤷♂️
If I’m gonna see an hour of ads I don’t want to pay anything
