NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you going insane on us Manny? You KNOW that no depot can make a proper splice when assembling trailers, and the labs seem to fuck it up too! It's always cheap tape, hinging splices, sometimes out-of-frame, and most importantly...they chop the film in the wrong place for the theater to be able to fix it!
Sorry, but when I get a manually attached trailer and it was not put on the print properly to the point where I can fix it due to either having handling marks on it or being cut in the wrong place, it is considered damaged film and goes straight in the trash. No ifs ands or butts. I does not get played.
Same thing goes for the opening logo on reel 1. If the soundtrack has been cut due to some bonehead trying to attach a trailer, I check to see if the opening studio's logo is silent. If so the quick fix is to cut it off of the feature entirely. If there is audio going on or it transitions into the feature, reel 1 is replaced. Damaged film is damaged film.
I will however happily put on any new trailer from that studio that is sent loose on it's own core that is requested of me. When the studios respect my presentation by not permitting anyone else to cut the print, I respect their wishes and play whatever they request.
