I just realized that this movie does not have 3D version, 2D only. 👍

3d will not become permanent until they find a way to do it without the glasses.

This amount of early screenings is more reeking of desperation instead of confidence imo

Zaslav now paid King and Cruise to say this stuff lol

King wrote some classic horror novels, but why should we care what he thinks about this movie? lol

I mean of course there’s some desperation, with marketing they would have spent easily 300m now on the movie so they obviously want to position the movie in the most positive way possible. And what’s better then positive wom? 
 

They’re obviously confident in the movie, it tested well, they showed it months in advance. But with all that said, it doesn’t really mean much cause maybe critics won’t like it and maybe audiences don’t want to give the movie a chance? I guess we’ll see soon.

I didn’t say you should care cause I don’t but I assume others may respect his opinions.

He is one of the most renowned authors and more important thing is he has 7.1 million followers on twitter. Definitely has some impact. 

[Ohana]

Tom frickin' Cruise said this movie is great. I don't need any more affirmation beyond this.

It feels a little desperate by WB. I don't see other studios doing this in terms of marketing, trying to get as many celerbity recommends as possible.

 

Also Kings audience is something I just don't see being interested in the Flash in the first place.

Or there's a possibility this movie is something special.
Also there's the obvious IT connection, so he 
probably got a personal invitation by Andy Muschietti.

There’s absolutely some desperation going on here when WB is using Tom Cruise and Stephen King to hype up their movie. Zaslav has been pulling out all the stops to get the word out that this movie is apparently so good it cures cancer or whatever. 

[cax16]

Can’t really see Cruise or King being shills for WB (for what reason?)but I don’t really care either way tbh. 
 

It will be interesting to see what critics and audiences think of the movie.

Or, just spit balling here, they're marketing the movie. Yeah I know, such a foreign concept 😉

There's a big difference between that and just getting every single non-critic person with a big following to say they like it

Desperation from WB? Maybe. But, any press not involving Ezra Miller is still good press. 

[ThomasNicole]

I mean … they’re clearly desperate 

 

But the movie can be great too, two things can be true at once

By all indications, the movie is really good. But, when your lead star is in rehab and has too many scandals to do press tours, you need to find any alternatives possible to promote the movie.

[excel1]

This is largest attempt to control the quality narrative that I have seen in forever. Not complaining about it.

That’s my take.
