Fun Fact

The term movie “trailer” comes from their having originally been shown at the end of a feature film screening.  The first movie theaters in the 1910s had only one screen. Most of these promotions were produced by the theaters themselves so they could get you to stay for one more show but by 1916, the movie studios themselves began officially releasing for upcoming movies.
