It was attached to 1917 whan I saw it last weekend.
Same for me. I saw 1917 and Knives Out this month, and the trailer was attached to both.
Not attached to KO here. At least not when I saw it.
Judge them when the box office takings are logged.
Based on articles posted here and elsewhere, most studios have skipped the Super Bowl. I guess we have to look at it as $6 million for one thirty second ad buy or $6 million allocated to multiple TV spots throughout February/March/April.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if marketing extends into late April. Just off the top of my head we have things like the Nokia advert and Adidas shoe/apparel that will probably run into mid Spring.
That's true @Burgess the super bowl I have been noticing has less commercials it must be because of the cost.
Yeah I don't know where it will fall. @RC7
Take solace in the fact it’s all a load of bollocks anyway. In 20 years it’ll be ‘another Bond movie’ regardless of how good/bad it is.
Same here haha.
I watched it with knives out not SW.
Disney I know will have loads of spots for their upcoming films (possibly 20th Century - no longer Fox - also) and more, Universal will have Fast and Furious 9 and, of all things, Minions (had they had US distribution you can be damn sure it'd be Bond instead of that), Paramount has been confirmed to have A Quiet Place 2, SpongeBob, Sonic and possibly Top Gun as well. So that's three out of the five majors. Sony is the only real 'skip' here, along with Lionsgate which has advertised regularly there. And the last time WB had any ads there was 14 years ago...
It will either have a voiceover or a lot more dialouge from the movie explaining the frame of the story. Most of the money shots (bike stunt/rotating car/boat explosion) will probably be there, too. And probably we will get a taste of Zimmer.
Exactly!
Despite MI6-HQ's 'confirmation', Deadline believes there is still a chance... https://deadline.com/2020/01/super-bowl-movie-trailers-fast-furious-9-no-time-to-die-top-gun-maverick-f9-1202844462/
In any case, if the Oscars thing pans out, we now know why they are apparently skipping the SB
It's not out for another couple of months and yet everyone seems to know about it if you ask me. Bond films always make the front page of the newspapers somehow: I think it'll be fine.
I think Bond is always fairly relevant and makes a big noise. It’s funny; we don’t like the big gaps between movies at all but compared to how Star Wars has rather oversaturated its own market it actually looks like a better decision: the audience will be much more hungry for this.
It’ll be interesting to see how Mission Impossible’s new approach works as that had a massive hit last time out.
Exactly.
As much as I'd love to see more frequent Bond films I really don't mind the gaps. I agree that Star Wars has been exploited to death now and greatly over saturated. It doesn't help when the finished products scream of too much studio meddling and re-shoots. Bond just feels so much more special in comparison.
@DarthDimi how was that? it looks like a lot of movie fun.
Eon should’ve moved quicker after Spectre. They sat for too long with no flow and waited, the whole project was almolst scrapped after Boyle left we recently learned.
One good thing is Barbara has confirmed the search hasn’t started yet for a replacement which the acknowledgment in of itself is nice to here.
I think Eon are handing off the franchise after this one and will just manage Andy make the big decisions behind the scenes.
One of the main reasons people started to don't care too much about SW is because the released a film every year. Longer hiatus build momentum and make the release special. TRoS, good or bad it doesn't matter, didn't felt like a culmination of a 50+ years saga, because Disney release 5 bloody films in 5 years.
It is actually. :)
I don't think we should start getting impatient with Bond castings when we haven't even seen No Time to Die yet. Put the breaks on for a bit. As for the selling of the franchise, I don't think that's the case, we know Bond has always been a family business and they'll probably wanna keep it that way. We've even heard things about Gregg being more involved in the franchise, possibly taking over from Michael.
Either way, just because this film had its problems, doesn't mean they need to rush for the next one.
Agreed. I think the movie was not written as a proper conclusion of the saga either (regardless of whether it was good or bad, it just felt like an ending for the sequel trilogy and not the ending of a nine movies series) despite Abrams saying it was, but releasing it so shortly after TLJ and Solo definitely didn't help either. I believe TFA, TLJ and TROS should have come out with a three year gap each.
