This is a bumper complication of generic theatre bumpers (i.e. drive-in, independent, grindhouse) without the main major theatre name ([[AMC Theatres|AMC]], [[Regal Cinemas|Regal]], [[Cinemark Theatres|Cinemark]], etc.) which are located across the world. They are well-known for the bumpers such as the Astro Daters bumper which was a fan nickname given to probably the most well-known set of theater snipes ever made, created by the [[w:National Screen Service|National Screen Service]] in the late 1960s and the Cell Phone Policy bumper, created by National CineMedia and theaters, which carry the ''FirstLook/Noovie'' pre-show in the 2000s. Its owners were unofficial, mostly backed up by major film studios and its international counterpart, as well as private investors. |

'''Visuals:''' On a non-movie theatre, a hot dog, a candy bar, a coffee cup and a popcorn box holding an intermission sign walks from right to left. While this happens, the shot fades to a popcorn machine which disposes popcorn. While this scene happens, it fades to a family drinking and eating on a purple-yellow gradient background with the table. This continues for a while which then fades to the girl in it. When it is completely zoomed out "Let's All Go To the Lobby to get Ourselves a treat!" fades in. After a while, the logo fades out. |

While this happens, the shot fades to a popcorn machine which disposes popcorn. While this scene happens, it fades to a family drinking and eating on a purple-yellow gradient background with the table. This continues for a while which then fades to the girl in it. When it is completely zoomed out "Let's All Go To the Lobby to get Ourselves a treat!" fades in. After a while, the logo fades out.

Visuals: The logo of the theater fades in over a dark, shadowy background. The logo is under a spotlight and dust particles are shining. The words "Please silence your cell phones now." appear between the logo. "YOUR FEATURE PRESENTATION WILL BEGIN MOMENTARILY" wipes in under it. About 20 seconds in, two film projector graphics appear at the top-left and right areas in frame. They then spin and a light comes out of it.
