Why it worked
The video taps into a relatable sentiment of attending an event for a specific, often unexpected, freebie, even if the primary content isn't the main draw. The humor of collecting something without playing the game adds to its shareability.
Summary
The creator went to see Star Trek: The Motion Picture in theaters primarily to receive free Magic: The Gathering cards. They express that neither they nor their husband play the game, but they found the experience fun. The video also shows the movie's title screen and a Regal intermission screen.

Product placement
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (movie series) - appears on screen and is the subject of the video. Removing it would change the video's topic.
Regal (movie theater chain) - appears on screen as a watermark. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
