Today, they are shown before the attraction, but there have been a rare number of films in recent days that have them after. The only movies that have done that in recent years, according to my recollection, are Back to the Future Part II and Matrix Reloaded. The trailers were, respectively, BTTF Part III and Matrix Revolutions.
