showtime noun show·time *ˈshō-ˌtīm *
: the scheduled or actual time at which a show or something likened to a show begins
For AMC and other major theater chains, the trailers and advertisements are considered part of the "show". It's part of their website terms of service somewhere, but I can't find it right now.
lol whoever wrote this definition must have seen some absolute garbage
Miriam is the only dictionary which included that bit, and I assume it’s because you can describe any event start as showtime.
But commercials are not the show.
