I actually wanted to suggest such a thing, because good Marketing ideas would affect box office considerably. Also ... you would make it a lot easier for the user who's doing actuals if you describe your poster, or tagline or banner or whatever... Good idea get good rewards. Just saying.

That's 8 films with trailers released with Alesia. You guys can't just slap a trailer on every high-profile film that comes out in a 2-3 week span. That's not how studios operate with tentpoles. They attach a trailer to a single major film and the film they attach it to is almost always one they have in the desired time period.

Well I decided to not post any further informations about the marketing, that´s just getting to weird because all films in Y5 had their trailer with Alesia :lol: . I guess this thread haven´t an influence on boxoffice or something, right?

It shouldn't because marketing is way too hard to take into account. Films have blanketed the airwaves with ads but still flopped, because the ads or trailers themselves could be bad.

That's very true, and I've updated mine accordingly that the only trailer released with Alesia is Chuck Norris.

I'm assuming this is with Lord Madship... Is the trailer with standard prints only? I'd think it'd be odd to have a six-min prologue and then a two-min trailer.

None whatsoever. This marketing info is just for fun and largely there to help make the world feel more real but since many players (like me) aren't participating, it makes no sense to take this thread into consideration when doing actuals.

You can't have a 6-mins IMAX prologue for the same film. Hindenburg is on for the films that showing in IMAX from December-February, which happens to be Lord Madship. Also IMAX don't do split releases, so I'm afraid Red Pyramid won't get IMAX treatment.

Poor Lord Madship fans. They pay to go see the movie in IMAX only to have 12 minutes spent on previewing two other movies. :P Edited by Water Bottle
