I don't want commercials playing before movies that I pay to see in the theater.
I don't care if they are for feed the starving children, the neighborhood pizza shop, or enlisting in the armed forces. I understand that the theater venue has to increase revenue since most ticket sales in the first 2-3 weeks of a film goes directly to the studios. Venues rely on conferences, concessions, and advertising for their income.
My way of dealing with it is simple: I don't pay to see movies in theaters very often. So far this year I have paid to see a movie in a theater 1 time, so that I could go to the theater with a friend. I go to screeners and industry releases instead. I get the theater experience without the hassle of the commercials and the $22.50 cost of tickets.
