PlatnumRoyce Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 3 hours ago, emoviefan said: The money had been spent and we know Apple has it so any money this makes in the theaters is gravy in their mind. On the other hand, both Napoleon and KotFM involved Apple shouldering tens of millions of dollars in additional risk to release the films theatrically (backstopping the theatrical distributor's P&A spend and guaranteeing a minimum distributor fee for KotFM that treats the film as a ~100M DOM grosser). What would the deal like be for this lesser film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WittyUsername Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Henry Cavill seems to be having a better post-Superman career than Tom Welling and Brandon Routh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belblazer Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I'm seeing ads for this in literally every video on Youtube. And it looks like a 20% RT movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 The big promo blitz is continuing here in the UK. Cranston and Howard were both on Graham Norton together last night. Think that’s every single daytime and late night show done now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not seem to give a crap what it does here in the states for some reason. Today is the Conference Championship football games for the NFL. Really their last chance to boost any interest by showing ads and pushing it in some major way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) Vaughn has stated that the trailer and various spots are primarily only showing footage from the first 28 minutes, it was his request and Uni/Apple rolled with it. I have read from reviews there's supposed to be some pretty fun action sequences they are hiding. I gotta give kudos to not giving everything away even if that might be hurting marketing a bit since they can really only be showing the same footage.

Yeah i just feel there was a way they could have marketed this without giving away things that would have built more interest than what they have done.

ddddeeee Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Left my screening of All of Us Strangers in tears tonight. Partly because of the movie, but also because I never have to endure this trailer ever again. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 This looks too silly to get good reviews. Looks like an action movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. I mean it could work, but reminds me of sucky movies like Knight and Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I got the trailer for this before my showings of Godzilla yesterday and American Fiction today. I certainly understand the relief of this movie finally coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryMovieMogul Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I don't get the hate for the trailer. Nothing about it looks bad to me. It's weird how, in a year that desperately needs a miracle for the box office to perform better than last year's, people are actively rooting against certain films, including this one. Are we for the theatrical experience, or against it? Sometimes, I can't tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still makes no sense to me in a year like this one. When a film fails, I always see "I never saw any trailers for this film," and I'm supposed to hate that marketing for a film was TOO widespread?

Though if the early Letterboxd user reviews are to be believed, this film might struggle to make a splash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
