Is there anticipation for Passengers? On paper, this is a slamdunk - lost in space sub-genre has been very strong commercially (Gravity, Interstellar, The Martian), two big names, holiday season, some really interesting visuals (the swimming pool sequence). However, I'm not hearing much talk but, again, that may be anecdotal. 

 

I do agree that they appear like they don't know how to market this. First trailer emphasized romance over action but now this one is all action with one-two obligatory kisses. So it's tough to gauge what audience they are targeting. If this was supposed to serve as counter-programming to Rogue One, than they should stick with romance despite Jyn/Cassian commercial since there's nothing overtly romantic (unlike Passengers scenes).

I agree that Sony's marketing sucks.

This should resonate emotionally but it just doesn't (personal opinion that may not be shared). That's the problem I have with previews. May be poor Sony marketing or maybe the movie fails to establish any real danger for the glamorous duo and that's reflected on marketing. It looks fun with some inventive action but human element is lacking.
