Among trailers playing before movies the ones for Concussion were pretty strange. Eddie the Eagle is obvious and the Christian films were understandable. But 13 Hours, Ride Along 2, and Central Intelligence? Really?

The placement of those movies makes sense given that it was a Will Smith movie and they were also targeting the African American audience.

 

And putting Dirty Grandpa before The Revenant made sense as well: marketing a rowdy male-centric comedy in front of a male-centric action film (almost 60% of the film's wide opening audience was male). The studios decide on a movie by movie basis what films they want to be promoted before the movies of rival studios.

My trailer batch with The Martian was really weird. It was BOS, Burnt, Rock the Kasbah, Steve Jobs, and Our Brand is Crisis. 

[GiantCALBears]

Should we be surprised Deadpool opened higher than TFA in Russia or find that a bit amusing or both?

[Impact]

At GI Joe I had a trailer for Damn United.

I had Pride and Prejudice at Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-that is much stranger.

The fact that it's not from a major studio is the weird part. The movie doesn't even have its own Wikipedia page.

It was by Universal and nominated for best actress and based off of a novel. Yes it has a Wikipedia page.

I was talking about my experience today with Deadpool . Sorry if I wasn't clear. I obviously didn't mean Pride and Prejudice.

I realized that right after I posted that

Damned United was pretty strange at GI Joe though.

I know that, I just thought those were strange choices. No need to act confrontational.

A similar case to his was when Dino Time was a trailer at Wreck it Ralph-it had no Wikipedia page as well. (Heck it has never even been released! It is like when there was some movie called Ring of Fire that was a trailer at The Perfect Storm I think and never came out until 2002 as a DTV film with a different title!)

Maybe you meant to say Reign of Fire, that legendary masterpiece with McConaughey and Bale? That was released in theaters in 2002.

Nope-it was Ring of Fire-it was a rodeo film!

[Impact]

Cowboy Up! That's what it was retitled and it was released DTV in 2001 not 2002.

LOL I wasn't be confrontational.

 

[EmpireCity]

I had to post after seeing the ridiculousness that The Matrix was a cult hit.  

 

Lol.  No.  That was a huge success from the start.  

 

Something like Rocky Horror, Clerks, The Big Lebowski, Office Space, They Live, etc.... are examples of cult classic movies.

#1 opening by a Fox film EVER. Which by itself blew my mind. But then I realized Fox was the studio which distributed a small franchise called Star Wars before it was bought by Disney.

 

Then I went...

 

 

(But in a good way)

 

There's been over a decade since ROTS was released. Also, if it hadn't opened on a Thursday, it probably would have had a bigger opening than this. 

[That One Girl]

I've literally gotten a trailer for Eddie the Eagle at every single movie I saw in the last 2 months or so.
