Any knowledge as to what time this is dropping? Really hope it's not another "Stick around until 1130 PM!" situation. 

 

I don't think anyone cares at this point, we've pretty much seen enough of this movie at this point in time.

Lol OK then... Plenty of people want to see the film. They're trying to pull in others.

No what I mean is that it isn't special this time around waiting for a 3rd trailer for a movie where we've seen ALOT in its previous 2 trailers already. Its not like we're waiting to see the trailer for the first time from the movie.

[Valonqar]

maybe, regardless of quality, people just don't care for Kong and Giant monsters that much? Godzilla and Jackson's Kong made good money but not as good as they were pegged to make. Perhaps it's just the genre's limit? Who wants to see it, sees it, but others will never be converted.

Good Lord, the WB marketing team cuts some fun trailers.

yeah I like the new trailer.  Not sure the movie will be all that good, but I'll see it    I have to support it to get my Godzilla 2 and Godzilla vs King Kong movies

[Arlborn]

Damn, that was fun!

 

130m dom seems about right though.

[DMan7]

Didn't feel like a trailer just a mash up of tv spots, a bit of new footage especially at the end with kong fighting a skull crawler with the bark of a tree.

Interesting. I wonder how often directors can influence the tone of a trailer in that kind of way.

[Cookson]

Hopefully that trailer will get the interest back in play.

For reals? Would suck if this is what it makes. I'm seeing like 120-140dom

[Lavochkin]

Oh my god that trailer is incredible. So fun and so well put together. If that doesn't get people into theaters I don't know what will.

 

Easily the best Kong promo so far. The action looks fun, the humor hits and by god does it look pretty. Bring on March 10th! (9th for me )

[fabiopazzo2]

Amazing trailer!

[NoobSaibot]

Not really a fan of this trailer. The previous one had a perfect mix of fun and lightheartedness with recognizable instances of seriousness.

 

The music didn't seem to fit what was going on. I'm probably being really picky right now, though. Maybe it'll grow on me.

[Valonqar]

Ok, this looks super SUPER fun and it better be what it promises. Could work in its favor as a counter-programming to more somber, R-rated Logan, so no movie suffers but everyone does well.

This movie in Jurassic World slot in June would have done gangbusters being pimped out by that last trailer alone.

 

It's like WB marketing team is emphasizing extreme contrasts to Godzilla 14: overly serious and dour atmosphere vs colorful summer action romp, boring human characters cast vs colourful campy cast of character actors (Cranston should have cameoed in this), muted palette vs warm saturated palette, ominous tone vs swashbuckling adventure tone, classical soundtrack vs contemporary music infused soundtrack, Hand-held shots semi-documentary style and moody editing vs sweeping epic shots and rythmic editing etc.

 

Hopefully, this one does decent BO numbers just to see how that clash of old titans meshes and plays out aesthetically.

 

By the way, the director's beard looks more impressive than Kong.
