The Drafthouse shows a pre-show reel 30 minutes before the start time. No ads. The reels generally relate to the movie you are about to see.
Blockbusters always get their own special reel. The Marvel universe movies get a full recap of what happened in earlier films that you need to know for this one.
Weird little movies don't get their own reels. They have a few generic and themed reels they show before those. Lots of fun, weird stuff like Japanese games show clips and commercials.
After the pre-show they run 10 or 15 minutes of trailers, then the movie. No other ads.
Last night the Bag family saw "Yesterday". We all enjoyed it. My biggest complaint was that the high concept device, a world without the Beatles, overshadows the love story. I spent most of the film realizing how much better Lennon and McCartney's songwriting was than anyone else. The further we get from that time the more likely it becomes that there won't be anything else like them. The love story is nice, but inconsequential compared to the music.
The pre show reel had an old Pathe film of one of the early Beatles performances, a news piece on people making Beatles wigs, trailers for "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "Yellow Submarine", and a Bollywood clip with Indian performers convulsing in imitation of the Beatles.
