Hmm, good point. It's worked for them lately so who am I to argue?

 

By the way, I'm not necessarily commenting on the marketing strategy here. I was commenting on early tracking. Though I guess they go hand and hand and tracking may increase tenfold once the marketing ramps up.

 

So I don't know....

The main problem for Shazam is its release date. It has the unfortunate reality that its sandwiched between two Marvel blockbusters with infinately more hype than Shazam. If Shazam were released in a less crowded time it would be able to get much more attention as the sole superhero movie in that period. Now it can only get scraps of attention compared to the MCU movies.

Which is why you will see the marketing go apeshit the week before release, they will delay the review embargo to as late as possible for maximum impact.

I'm thinking great reviews will be very important for Shazam. If its able to get a fresh rating on rotten tomatoes it would be able to make the general public feel that this is a movie worth seeing. Bad ratings would mean that a lot of people won't bother.

if you type Captain Marvel in Youtube, the Shazam trailer shows up around four spots down. lol Maybe that's why the trailer is keeps increasing heavily in views.

Agreed. If not for Hobbs and Shaw this would have been perfect on the first weekend in August.

Hopefully. We’re long overdue for one.

To think the CCXP got it back in December, ugh. It was apparently supposed to be attached to a few films lately. 

[DMan7]

The fact that the trailer is taking soo long to be released could mean that WB are waiting for the Captain Marvel marketing blitz to calm down most likely after it hits theaters. So the trailer might be out in March although WB should release it sooner so it  can be attached to Captain Marvel tho.

Awareness for this is so low. It looks like the best DCEU film, and is gonna easily end up making the least because WB isn't gonna start marketing it until 3 weeks before release.

We’ve seen so much of Captain Marvel now, it’s tiresome. They should release the trailer now, there’s a lot of interest in Shazam enough to withstand Captain Marvel’s marketing.

Push it back... That second weekend in August is perfect. Hobbs and Shaw will open fairly big, but it wouldn't be a juggernaut in its second weekend. With additional marketing, Shazam could easily open above 70 million and ride the rest of August to a 250 million total.

If nothing else, it would just amuse me to no end to see 13 billion click-bait articles and videos about "DC in crisis, panicking!"

I would cry laugh if they attached a new trailer with Captain Marvel and casually mention that Shazam is Captain Marvel in the trailer.

We are unfortunately not worthy for that greatness.

It's very unlikely they'll push it back this late.
