      For AMC and other major theater chains, the trailers and advertisements are considered part of the "show". It's part of their website terms of service somewhere, but I can't find it right now.

          Miriam is the only dictionary which included that bit, and I assume it’s because you can describe any event start as showtime.

          But commercials are not the show.
