Alright, alright, alright

also Mccounghey isn't a dicaprio or bale

This. DiCaprio is the one who probably looks best right now from all of this. I didn't think he was that big of a deal in terms of Inception's OW, but he clearly played a fact. However, I also think marketing, release date, lack of competition, better WOM (yeah, it's OW, but WOM travels fast these days), better RT scores, and just better trailers helped Inception beat Interstellar.

In other words, everything WB did right, Paramount did wrong.  

 

[RobinHood26]

WB would have pushed this movie that extra 15% in terms of marketing I feel if they had full control.

Will it fall under SQUEAKQUEL with actuals?

[TServo2049]

Surprise. There have been times when a major supporting cast member was kept secret (Seven comes to mind).

Guess it didn't work - but there have been times when it DID work, right?

BH6 won the weekend and still Interstellar is the only movie people are talking about here ^^

I really need to watch that movie as soon as possible!

Luc Besson > Nolan

 

   

[Fancyarcher]

I still don't know why they didn't do that.

What was the point?

 

I'm actually happy they didn't do that, since it would have likely have spoiled a plot twist in the film.

[4815162342]

Not marketing a certain actor was almost certainly the right call in terms of narrative revelations.

 

Otherwise the minute a certain character was namedropped multiple times, everyone with at least a quarter of a brain would realize that the certain actor is going to appear at some point as the certain character.

[AJG]

How?

They advertised Jessica Chastain without many people actually knowing who she was.

Note: Please avoid spoilers in this thread for Interstellar

[RobinHood26]

She's in the 2nd act thats why. They saved all the 3rd act stuff from the marketing. 

[Impact]

If you want some major spoilers for films during  a trailer-watch about 95% of the trailers for films made before the 1980s

[Fancyarcher]

How?

They advertised Jessica Chastain without many people actually knowing who she was.

 

Like 4815162342 said. From a narrative perspective it made sense. His character was a major spoiler and he was in the last act, which they showed only glimpes of in the marketing.

[The Futurist]

A growth of the OS gross will probably offset this.

 

The big problem is the asian markets, they seem to not care about Katniss journey at all.

If Asia responded to Katniss, CF could have done 1B ww.

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

I'm… pretty sure I figured out who the fuck

Matt Damon

plays in IS just from reading the posts in this thread alone that weren't tagged.

 

I don't care, honestly. But, um, others might? 

 

Anywhooooo…. BIG HERO 6! WHOOT!

Well, while Paramount didn't really play up the involvement with the film, technically this stuff was known during filming. But whatever. I said nothing about what role said person had in the film, though it wouldn't be difficult to make guesses given secrecy

Except the trailers pretty much told audiences who she was and both the trailers and advertising played up the father-daughter stuff in the movie.
