Trailers Used To Come After the Film

When you go to a theatre to watch a film, you usually see a few trailers before the film. Trailers are short previews designed to get potential viewers interested in an upcoming film. The word “trail” means to come at the end. When trailers were first used in theatres, they were shown after the feature film. In other words, they trailed at the end. Many moviegoers did not stick around to watch these trailers, however, so they were moved to the beginning. Despite this change in showing times, the industry word “trailer” stuck, and is still used today.
