How much marketing material do you watch before seeing the film?

[writer0327]

Seems like every film that comes out has more and more to watch, follow, consume than ever before. Alien Covenant just seems to be releasing so much stuff I feel like I'm gonna see half the film before its out in theaters.

I watch 2 trailers and try like hell to avoid the rest.

It's become so much that I've stopped watching past the first teaser.

Teaser trailer.
Full trailer.
Second full/final trailer (if I'm weak), which I often am.
One or two TV spots, but generally avoid them.

 

[Lasirius]

Teaser, full trailer, or both but that's it.

 

[childeroland]

Just a couple of trailers, maybe a few TV spots.

 

[MadVillainy]

I watch no trailers or commercials at all if it's a movie I know I'm going to see regardless.

HAvent seen any of the Fast 8, Homecoming, Guardians 2 trailers. I wont for Star Wars 8 either

If it's something I know nothing about I don't watch past the first teaser

I dont get why people want to know everything about a movie whether through trailers, tv spots, or reading spoilers. But to each their own

If I'm REALLY looking forward to something, all of the trailers but no featurettes or TV spots.

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

Depends on my interest in it.

 

[OutOfBoose]

All of it, if I'm interested. All official promos.

 

[Iron_Stark]

I used to watch it all, watch every clip, BTS videos, trailers, hunt down all the tv spots. I knew what was going to happen in the first Iron Man movie before it came out.

Now, I just watch the teaser, main trailer and the last trailer. I try to stay away from everything.

 

[GR8GODZILLAGOD]

I've basically taken to only watching teaser trailers. It's movie theater previews that makes that philosophy difficult.

I try to just watch the first trailer (or teaser trailer, however you want to call it), and NEVER GO PAST THE 2ND TRAILER (including the teaser).

 

[Isildur´s Heir]

I never watch clips. Not because i don't want to be spoiled, but because i find it stupid to actual the studio wanting to spoil the movie.

As for trailers, depends on the movie.
Teaser and trailer, sometimes the 2nd trailer.

 

[Neno_Kos]

For what looks like a good movie, not much. For what it looks like mixed bag or bad movie almost everything.

 

[Rowsdower!]

It varies. I generally watch all of the trailers but tend to avoid TV spots as marketing starts to ramp up because sometimes it seems like they reveal too much. Trailers tend to be a bit more careful with what they show but after a certain point in the run-up to a movie's release, TV spots start to feel like a free-for-all with what they show.

 

[Teelie]

Really depends on the movie and my interest in seeing it. Some things I avoid everything about because trailers can sometimes spoil a movie or give too much away. Other times I just don't care and will see if the movie is something I would be interested in.

Alien Covenant is something I am interested in seeing but I don't look at every bit of information released about it either. I've seen some of the trailers, concept art and stills.

Ghost In The Shell I wanted to see and was trying to find as much as I could to see how they adapted it but the promos for that weren't very telling of anything (for good reason as it turned out).

Then there is stuff like the Fast & Furious movies where I know I'll go see them and don't bother with the trailers and all that or movies like the Transformers series where I have given up on it and have no desire to see it and thus don't care if I see anything about it or not.

Wish we still lived in an age where the only place you could see a trailer was the actual cinema screen.
