This way, you could avoid viewer fatigue and make it easier to fit the viewings into your schedule.
Yesterday, you saw the first 30-minute segment. Today, you arrive at the multiplex, and are informed that the three 30-minute segments (1, 2, 3) are starting shortly on screens A, B, and C. However, you are not told the mapping of segment to screen. You are asked to select a screen, and choose screen B. You are then informed about the status of either screen A or screen C: that status may be that it will play segment 1 (from your perspective: a duplicate) or that it will play segment 3 (from your perspective: out of order). Finally, you are asked whether you will be watching screen B, or the other, unrevealed screen. (If you don't actually watch your final choice, you're banned from the multiplex forever.)
Is this harder (e.g., not solvable at all) compared to the Monty Hall problem, because segment 1 is merely an annoyance, but segment 3 is a spoiler (permanently impacting your enjoyment of the movie)?
I do wish they would bring back intermissions for films exceeding 2 hours in length though. I’ve got an old man’s bladder and restless leg: I need a quick break before the film’s climax.
I'm about 20 minutes away (each) from 3 different theaters, so watching a 30-minute chunk of movie is 70 minutes of my time (ignoring parking, unusual traffic, ticketing, etc). I'm not going to commit to doing that 3 times.
Let alone 3x the cost in snacks.
