It is the sponsor of the Cinemark kid summer movie program...so starting 2 weeks before open, every parent taking the kids to the cheap Cinemark movies will see this trailer...
Really? I'd like to see more on this.

Kinda concerning that the marketing has been radio silent since March.

I'm more curious about what the tracking for The Flash and Elemental that should be coming in next week. The latter's getting solid bookings (as in 3 screens) at the theaters that have uploaded showtimes so far from (but aren't on sale yet) from what I've seen.
The latter needs all the goodwill it can get, tbh

Honestly, I think people are just tired of the franchise as a whole. And it's going to take a lot of good will to reignite the spark. #punintended; If people don't like Rise of the Beasts, they might as well throw in the towel and the release date they picked isn't doing them any favors. Outside of Elemental, it's the least interesting of the big releases that month. But at least Elemental might appeal to a different audience.
The one counter I'd offer is that Transformers is a known IP which could help it OS. And yet, people who might see Transformers will probably go see The Flash if they want a bublockbuster, or Elemental, if they want something for the kids.

The film's not out for another month, they'll ramp it up in time.
I reckon that they'll go all out after the Cannes premiere.

No, Zack. They GOT it. They just didn't like it.

I guess there really isn't an embargo on this movie...
Judging by Inside Out, people can just write reviews of the movie when they see it. Quite a few reviews of Inside Out were published on the day of the premier at Cannes.
Seems like the right call. This movie could use all the hype it could get.

I hope that they're able to find success in theaters again and soon.

Transformers is the one surefire underperformer of the main blockbusters (I’d count Gillman but that wasn’t making as much waves as the big five).
Gillman too, maybe. Marketing has been almost nonexistent for that one.

June is gonna be an absolute bloodbath.
Transformers is the one I'm unsure of.

I think Spider-Verse will be slightly frontloaded, it looks amazing and I'm looking forward to it but I do wonder if it'll act more like a superhero sequel than an animated sequel.
I'm bullish on Elemental and I think the Cannes reviews should help it in terms of raising awareness to audiences.
Spider-Verse is going to do well for itself, but not be a HUGE increase from 1.
Long shot, but I won't be surprised if that runtime puts off some families who want something breezier and easier to watch, which could potentially help Elemental.
Yes, The Flash will open big, but if Inside Out could do well opening close to Jursssic World, I don't see why we can't see something similar here.

I'm less bullish on this than some people. Not that it'll do bad, certainly more than the first one, but until actual numbers come in idk where people are getting some of their guesses from considering.
It'll do well, but won't be a MAJOR jump from the first one.

Stranger Things halting production feels like the first sign that the WGA is going to win this

Careful online: Some of the promotional books are full of spoilers. Just a heads up to anyone curious.

I would have ended with the fight in Smallville and then Superman destroying the terraformer.
Once it's just Superman fighting Zod in Metropolis, the fight becomes dull and numbing. The big issue is that I never got the sense that either of them was in mortal peril, they just fly towards each other and bounce off like rubber.
More should have been done to sell that these guys were getting bruised and exhausted. It never felt like their punches were having any effect.

I forgot DUNKIRK almost made 190M. Is this a tougher sell? I am actually surprised DUNKIRK made that much.
It had Harry Styles and it had all the spectacle war movies are known for without being too brutal/graphic.

He had no agency post MOS and got turned into a glorified plot device. That was the dagger for this iteration.

Did it really though? Superman has commonly been dismissed as “boring” by the general public for nearly 40 years. Despite the divisive at best reception to the Snyder films, I’m not sure how it hurt public perception of the character anymore than it already was. People like Frank Miller played a bigger role in damaging the perception of Superman.
Well, it hasn't exactly helped that perception either. If the movies were good, we might not have been in this scenario.
