If Doctor Strange couldn't do it then I doubt Thor would.

Well yeah. What’s the point of choosing a bar it will actually hit, are you trying to deny me my fun or something    
 

Spoiler

More seriously, DS 1st trailer was depressed by the NWH post credits attachment and the 2nd trailer is (imo) depressed by being a 2nd trailer. I think it would have pulled perhaps low-mid 2s with a normal 1st trailer and I expect Thor and BP2 to do just that

I remember when Ragnarok trailer came out and surprisingly destroyed Homecoming, GOTG2 and Justice League in views and likes

Because it was an epic trailer with one of the best rock songs ever.

[ZeeSoh]

That was one of the best teaser for a movie ever. In terms of SH movies its right up there at the top with the Logan teaser for me. (not counting Infinity War and Endgame since they went with a full trailer rather than a teaser)

We would have heard something by now if something were happening tomorrow.

 

I'd say no trailer until Doctor Strange 2 is out. I am not sure why they are taking this approach, but I hope it works out the best for them. Although, I'd hate to move forward where all big budget movies follow this marketing format. Makes the lead up to movie releases kinda boring and uneventful.

I remember that Ragnarok teaser destroyed TLJ teaser. The latter was more anticipated for it had Star Wars Celebration build up, but Ragnarok was so good and catchy it stole TLJ's thunder. Everyone was raving about it, insta memes, etc. 

 

L&T will have more likes than MoM. 2M is doable. It's going to be funnier and funny trounces sombre/serious.

Not necessarily, Marvel is holding things better recently and they never announce this things officially.

 

Ms Marvel trailer dropped without anyone confirming it. 

 

DS2 full trailer on SB was also a surprise until just hours before it.

 

Only tomorrow we will know for sure.

Is Disney waiting for #CINEMACON at this point?  Their day is April 27th!

At this point i can see they waiting MOM, who knows. Tomorrow, cinemacon, MOM, whatever, it's all close.

 

But whatever date they decide, this trailer really needs to be f- awesome. 

 

The marketing will lasts just 2 months, starting with a banger is a obligation now or they're screwed.

 

Ragnarok have the best teaser of the MCU tho, so i'm confident.

It would be funny if we get a teaser for Avatar 2 before we get one for this. 

[jedijake]

$340 million domestic, $750 million WW is my "prediction" but it is futile without seeing/knowing something. Even then it is merely visceral reactions until sales begin.

[dudalb]

I suspect we will not get a trialer until Doctor Strange opens.

I still think the best response to fans whining for a trailer was the Russo's posting up the Orson Welles "No Wine Before It's Time" commerical.

COme to think of it, Welles's trailer for the "Citizen Kane" might bethe single best trailer in film history. even today it would be a pretty original and daring apporach for a trailer.

Because releasing it now would either get drowned out by Multiverse of Madness hype or take attention away from that movie's marketing. I think releasing it with MOM makes the most sense. Everyone who goes to see it (the vast majority of the audience) will see the trailer. It's kinda pushing it but it's probably the smart play.

Marvel movies have a big advantage in online chatter compared to SW, but TLJ didn't have its thunder stolen by Ragnarok. Its trailers did very well for themselves. Ragnarok's trailer did amazing of course but I don't see how this comparison makes sense.

Still kind of hoping, though she is not listed int he credits, that Darcy makes an appreence. SHe was funny in the first two Thor films (and of the few good things about the second) and I happy to see her back in the MCU with "Wandavision". Kat Dannings is very funny lady.

I hope this under performs somewhat and teaches Disney a lesson.

Nope-no report of anything coming.

 

My thought was they had a teaser ready to go in late February or early March. It didn't look the way they wanted and they didn't want to face another Aladdin-Will Smith-teaser dilemma. So they did reshoots. When they finished, it was pressing too close to DS2's release, so they decided to just hold off to give DS2 its space.

 

The kicker is that there are so many other little nuggets they could have thrown out there like a sizzle reel, poster, pics and stills. Seems like they're putting all their eggs into the two-month basket.

One MCU movie underperforming wouldn't teach Disney anything. The MCU can handle a few movies not doing big numbers.

When the first Captain America underperformed they kind of rebooted the IP and made it a hit.

Same for Thor's movies actually after the 2nd movie. 

 

Thor is just too big now to under perform like that.
