It's been over a year since I posted on this I think and it might be good to get some fresh information on the subject. I hate when movie theatres cut off credits right after the movie has finished rolling in order to start showing ads for the next showing or because they want to get off work early after the last one.

Here's the list so far:

And one other thing - does anybody know if this is illegal or not? I've never bothered to check.

If they cut the movie off early and cut off the credits, technically it isn't saving them any time. Films are on, well, film. There is no rewind/fast forward button. A movie has to run all the way to the end of the reel before it can be played again from the beginning. This is why if a film messes up in the middle of the movie, chances are slim that it will get up and running again, and you will probably just get a refund and be sent home.

That doesn't exactly answer your question, but just a tidbit of info for you. I used to spool up movies at a cinema in the States. It's a real pain in the ass, and is generally done the night before the movie starts showing.

well, if they never build the credits into the reel in the first place, or cut them out, that would save them time.
