The Dark Alfred Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 So it seems like Y3 became alive.To make it more fun I though we could do Superbowl spots for our films. Here's the deal. Describe a 30 second tv spot for your film,. Make it very short. We'll vote for the best spots and the top 3 ranked spot would get a benefit of 10m, 5m and 3m higher opening weekend. Now it's up to you whether you wanna promote your blockbuster or your film that you think needs more support (it worked out well for Act of Valor this year).To be fair, each person can submit only two tv spots, whether it's for the same film or for two different projects, it's up to you. There will be 15 tv spots,so first come first serve.Just post the title of the film you want the tv spot and once we have the full list you can post the description. It should be short and simple, doesn't take much time to write, but could be fun to see the poll results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 We need a rule about how far in the future they can come out-no later then mid July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 We need a rule about how far in the future they can come out-no later then mid July.Well if it's a huge Blockbuster like The Hobbit, it could come out in December, and still have a Superbowl TV spot technically.

Impact Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Or GI Joe 2-I hope Paramount puts a Superbowl spot in this year so it can be the very first film to have 2 years! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Here I go:I'd have a spot for The Last Projectionist (March) and 8AM (July). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) I'll have a spot for The Haunting in Wisconsin (February) and Salvation (May) Edited June 23, 2012 by Andrew the Alien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverShark Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I´ll do a spot for Prodigy and The Walker Chronicles.Btw: how long the spot should be described? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 The spot should be really short. It could be three sentences really or a bit more if you wanna do many short cuts involved. It all should describe 30 seconds. I don't even know what I'm gonna do for mines lol Should be fun. Once we have 15 films, we could post the details then we do a quick poll and results should be up before we start doing actuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Superbowl spots can be anywhere from 15 seconds to 30 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I don't think the best spots should get a boost. Heck Battleship was considered to have the best spot at this years Superbowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck Battleship was considered to have the best spot at this years Superbowl.It's also impossible to enforce. If the person doing actuals thinks that Film X should have a 40m OW but it got a bonus from the Superbowl Spot, he'll just have the actual come in at 40m minus the bonus so it evens out.

Impact Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Yep I don't quite get the point. (ID4 did have possibly the funniest and best superbowl spot ever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 So you're telling me that studios spend millions for Superbowl spots and it's all waste of money? Act of Valor wouldn't have done 40m without Superbowl. I don't know who's going to do actuals, but the way it's gonna work is that you PM your vote and I'm only going to release the results when the person, who's doing the year finished with his job, so he won't be influenced by the outcome. I will be messaging the person, so it will go smoothly, trust me. Superbowl is one of the main marketing events of every studio each year, so it's only fitting that we do the same in CAYOM/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marketing effects is one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Creator Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I say it's cool to just do them for fun. As Numbers said, there's no way to determine that it would have any effect on the gross. Salvation might make 150 million opening weekend. With the Superbowl ad maybe it would add 5 million, so you'd think 155 million, but the guy doing the actuals might want just 150, so really 145 + 5 million = 150 million.

The Dark Alfred Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Who's doing the actuals? I will contact the person, so I will make sure that he doesn't know the result of the Superbowl polls, therefore the poll winner does get the benefit. It's based on trust obviously as you can fudge the number with a huge second weekend drop, but I expect the person doing actuals to appreciate the spots. My bad, but I still believe in people.
