New rules for Trailers?
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

New rules for Trailers?
Hmmmmmm.....
The other NATO, the National Association of Theater Owners, have unveiled a new set of "voluntary in-theater marketing guidelines" which asks for much stricter rules in regards to in-cinema theatrical marketing by the studios - ie. film trailers and posters.
Amongst the major changes called upon by this exhibitors association:
All film trailers to be under two minutes
Trailers should be no earlier than 150 days in advance of a film's release.
In theater promotional material should be displayed no earlier than 120 days in advance of a film's release.
Each studio gets two annual exemptions to those above three rules, but even those exempt trailers can't be over three minutes.
Other extended trailers have to be individually negotiated.
Trailers should be rating appropriate to the feature they're playing with.
Trailers cannot have - "third party brands or endorsements" and can't include anything that "encourages mobile phone use during the show" such as internet URLs.
Trailers are played in the theaters at the discretion of each theater chain or individual theater owner
The guidelines will only apply to films released after October 1st. These are voluntary guidelines.

Alas, poor two-and-a-half-minute trailers. I knew them, Dalty.

It'll have to stay home.
On the upside, it'll finally be able to wash its tights.
You know, I bet wearing washed tights is a good way to avoid crotch rot.
