DP3 is a 4-quad blockbuster, that appeals to everyone. Also, it is laughable to characterize movies like Spiderman as "zoomer movies". It is guaranteed there is at least some overlap between DP3 and Gladiator 2 audience.

*Some overlap. Spider-Man is pure zoomer movie, just like all MCU flicks, nothing laughable about it, Yellowstone audience couldn't care less about clowns in pants. Real 4-quad movies have better legs than "we are out of fanboys on a second weekend". DP3 is the same type of movie as something like No Way Home or Multiverse of Madness, just with blood and dirty jokes. Gladiator core audience is Sound of Freedom or Top Gun: Maverick audience, white male boomer who doesn't follow social media nonsense.

They are both not similar to say the least.

Yeah exactly. The closest movie in genre would have been Furiosa and even that was a stretch and that was 6 months out and based on that movie's  BO it was probably smart not too drop it back then.

I like how days ago everyone was saying it needs to come out this week. Now that it’s confirmed it’s coming next month suddenly it’s no big deal.

It's called copium.

[ZeroHour]

Imagine arguing that Spiderman NWH of all films wasn’t a four quad movie.

Only because it would've meant we wouldn't have to deal with this bullshit anymore

Similar to some other films, NWH had a gargantuan amount of online chatter which basically doubles as advertising. Late trailers mean very little there.

 

I actually think that effective release strategy has changed tremendously over there last few years. This is a sequel to an iconic film, yes, though it is missing the 2 major stars of the original...so how much a sequel is it really is debatable. 

 

Either way, a trailer now isn't necessary. It's going to be a big deal whenever it debuts. If there is any downside, there is a lot of pressure for it deliver. If the trailer is "meh", there isn't much time to recover.

Starting an ad campaign for an adult-driven R-rated action drama in the middle of summer when it's not even coming out until Thanksgiving is NOT a red flag. This isn't some fan-driven Star Wars/MCU movie. It's freaking Gladiator.

I agree, no need to market the most expensive R rated movie ever made that doesn't have reliable IP, it'll sell itself somehow.

 

Anyway, I made my point, I'll have my last laugh when this thing gets Napoleon/Robin Hood/Exodus reception, 300 mln WW and 200-300 mln loses for fools from Paramount.

A trailer dropping four months before release doesn’t seem that much out of the ordinary these days. 

[emoviefan]

I said yesterday yes I think the earlier the better but I said on the other hand if they want to wait until they are going to have the most eyeballs watching it there is nothing wrong on waiting until a movie that opens to 150+ and is R Rated. That 's maybe the reason but none of us know the reasons do we because we are not sitting in the Paramount offices.

Moderation

 

Okay @Speedorito @TomThomas that is enough. Straight up, that is enough. I don't know why you two have this vendetta against this movie, but it's not funny anymore. We understand you are pessimistic, but saying this over and over and over and over and over again offers nothing of value and does not make you look good whatsoever. If you're just gonna add nothing of value other than this nonsensical concern trolling, you are going to leave me with no other choice but to threadban the both of you. Your choice.

[Speedorito]

Silly that people can dictate what we can and can’t say about a film’s marketing, but ok.

[MightyDargon]

I'll be happy as long as they don't use Nazi rapper Boi on the actual theatrical trailer.

And they better have the trailer drop next week. No excuse not too.

Yeah next week sometime is the drop dead date for getting a trailer for this. There is no excuse for not having a trailer in front of QP Day One. Yeah that's  not R Rated and the genre is different but they need to get the GA on board to knowing this movie exists and not just keep showing the trailer to insiders and exhibitors. Put up or shut up time.

Or maybe they want to drop a trailer for a anticipated R rated movie in front of maybe the biggest anticipated R rated movie of the year. But no let's go with the Movie is in trouble and they are hiding it narrative.

Thought occurred to me that the NFL preseason (Hall of Fame game) will also be getting underway days after Deadpool releases, and also the Olympics will be happening around then, so they're probably timing to that as well

Haven't some of you ever heard of "targeted marketing?" 

 

Twisters/Deadpool make sense as attachments for this.

I don't change my shoes in a second if something happens, it's kind of funny, just saying'.

 

I'm not writing this one off until Paramount puts Kanye song in its trailer thinking their audience are idiots and Stephen King declares it the best movie ever on X, that's where my red line is crossed.
