You actually want movies you're watching to have a distracting overlay taking you out of the moment? Before the start of the movie or something would be a lot better.

That's exactly the reason why I want it during the scene.

Both to create awareness that you are being manipulated by this scene, and to discourage product placement in general.

I feel like most people don't care enough to want movies hampered like this.
