sorry I beg to differ.
If I'm going to a Broadway show, curtain time is at 8pm on the nose, with the exception of Avenue Q which tends to run about 5-15 minutes late for some reason.
I go to a restaurant and let the waitstaff know that I'm going to a show, they make sure that food and service completes well within time for that curtain call.
If I am going to the movies, and I rush for a call time, and I then am FORCED to watch 15 minutes of commercials, thats 15 minutes that I didn't have to rush. I live in a busy city as it is and if I don't have to rush for something the more I prefer that.
that's for me.. but then there's the parents, they tell their babysitter what time they will be coming home based on the advertised showtime and the running time of the movie, they account for travel time and that's what they have budgeted for babysitter costs. If it deviates it can throw off the budget.
