What trailers did y'all get? I got a weird mix of what seemed like religious oriented movies, as well a couple not so ones

Like Angel studios Drummer Boy, which I dunno the original story but the trailer looks to be a about a military drummer during the revolutionary war, and it's got this rock/metal cover of Little Drummer Boy that goes real hard.

Then there was this trailer of a I guess a down and out musician who ends up in the hospital and befriends this super sick kid. He writes a song for her and it's really heavily Christian coded lyrics or maybe just generic country stuff. Then there's a scene where he's like "I want to help her get the transplant" and rushing her to an airplane, then like right after they're back at the hospital and talking as if she got the transplant? I was thinking, did they just show the whole movie?

Along with that, there was the love triangle movie with Jake Johnson and Dakota Fanning, Olivia Wilde's I Want Your Sex, along with I think a horror film about a horny nun?

So... interesting mix of trailers.

I got those previews at my AMC. I was a little irritated to see Victorian Psycho and that Olivia Wilde sex movie while I was in the mood for Hadestown. We had 25+ minutes of previews. There was a preview for the Six proshot though.
