"Movies start 25-30 minutes after showtime," the AMC disclaimer reads.

showtime noun show·​time *ˈshō-ˌtīm *

: the scheduled or actual time at which a show or something likened to a show begins

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.
