From The Pastor..
It used to be when a movie ended and the credits started I would turn it off or pack up to leave the theater.  However, thanks in large part to the Marvel super-hero movies, post-credit scenes have become more and more common. It is not unheard of for a movie to have multiple post credit scenes. This means in recent years I have been sitting through more and more credits to make sure I do not miss anything.  I do not know if you have ever sat through the entire credits sequence of a movie but there are a lot of credits.
