Are they really low or just not like a cultural moment? Like, we're gonna get a real trailer that actually tells us about the movie eventually, it's a teaser. lol
Went to see Captain Mah vell yesterday. Very good. Me when i saw the sf2 championship edition cabinet in it.
So is Missing Link that bad? Thought of watching it today. It was either that or Us. But Missing Link is being show on dolby cinema

I just think Endgame is absorbing most of the movie hype. Everyone is focused on that movie and not giving much thought to anything that comes out after it.
Well so is Lego, which originated in Denmark. But you're right. Playmobil isn't a universally recognised brand, a position Lego strove for decades to reach. Maybe they think a well produced, well reviewed film will enhance their visibility. This is becoming a well trodden path for toy companies.
It'll be hilarious. Like imagine the BvS box office threads but x20.

It's not bad...but it's probably the weakest Laika movie I've seen so far. Coraline, Paranorman and Kubo were all better. This one really seems like an effort to play to a younger audience than their previous films. Not as dark, not as heavy, humour a bit more broad etc. Still has great animation though.
If it's a choice between Missing Link or Us, I'd absolutely choose Us.
Yep. I think this would be a much better advertising campaign if the brief were not "say nothing new, say it often, and try not to show anybody being happy or smiling."
I strongly suspect that over the next few days there may be an abrupt change in tone. It's about tuning audience expectations. Late-comers are going to need a reason to buy in, so by then there must be an expectation of an optimistic resolution.
I wonder if kids think it looks interesting. I wonder if the main character looks unsettling or lame to them. I feel like this is a Mars Needs Moms type of issue where the characters look creepy.
It will be unbearable if it blows the doors off too. Then people will change the tune from "TLJ killed any interest in the franchise" to "see, it's so much better than TLJ the box office success proves it" and then go on their favorite rant of how cultured they are to see TLJ for the shit movie it is.
There certainly can be an element of this in play. Endgame is a big behemoth that is just about to hit so it is going to suck up a vast amount of oxygen when it comes to movie hype.
Haha you really might need a bigger train soon! I'm all in on that hype train. 1 billion opening weekend guys let's go! Seeing it opening night and the next day too. I'm not ready for what we are about to witness.Second pass done!
Anyone I missed will be grabbed on the next pass. I might need a bigger train though.
Add me to the train next update please!Second pass done!

Put me on son!!!! Was able to still get tickets to the Thursday showing!!! HYPE!!!!
I think it's more about that. The movie of the moment is Endgame. I cried during the Episode IX teaser and even I'm having a hard time switching between feeling hype for Marvel, then video games, Detective Pikachu, GoT, and whatever else there is in pop culture I'm supposed to be hyped about. It almost makes me go back to just politics! (Almost)
And out of the biggest movies of the year that are still pending release, TROS is the farthest away.
Despite that, I don't see any problems with the hype generated by Celebration. Everything seemed to go (relatively) great, especially for the TROS teaser. It's so far out still and won't have any competition in December that I think it can rech Endgame levels of hype by the time pre-sales start.

I'll join, this is gonna be a once in a generation opening weekend type experience. Lets get a bill!

Yo, can I get in on dat caboose?
It has really positive reviews but performed terribly at the box office. Doesn't mean it's a bad movie by any means.
Worse than Boxtrolls? Kubo is my favourite of theirs, such a depressing film.
I made it!Second pass done!

I think at this point you might as well use a rocket ship.
I don't think it'll have Endgame levels of hype, but I still see it opening around TLJ's number($220m).
The weird thing about people reading into the YouTube views for the teaser is that the number is right in line with past ST teasers, both of which maxed out around 40m views. That seems to be right where this one will eventually land.
Edit: Wait, I re-checked and TFA Teaser 2 (the Celebration one) has 88m views, so not a great comparison. But TLJ is right around 40m. I think we'll be able to gage better once the marketing has truly gone into effect.
Thanks!Second pass done!

Boxtrolls is the only one I haven't seen. Kubo was very good, but it's a tossup between Paranorman and Coraline for me.
Well it has 88m views accumulated over 4.5 years haha. You have to compare the TROS teaser to the TFA teaser at the same days after upload.
Also, the platforms on where to view teaser trailers online have also diversified since TFA. I remember everybody refreshing mostly only YouTube back in 2014, but now Facebook gets almost as much views too, at least during the first 24 hours (during which people most share the video). And there, the teaser for TROS had almost the same amount of views as in YouTube.
And again, the hype machine is only just started and people are still focused on Endgame.
I might have to jump on the train. Just checked my AMC app and saw that they added a damn 8AM showing in Dolby for Endgame on Saturday.

1 billion really seems to happen. That train looks cute too.
How close is it going to get to Avatar's record before Detective Pikachu cuts its legs off?
How the fuck should he know? I swear, some of you think KSwiss is a seer or something.
Yep. I'm on the train and I'm not even crazy about the mcu. This is probably the most hyped movie since return of the king, if not a lot more hyped. Can't think in modern times with a movie that has such a global appeal.I think the train looks more like this now
