The Force Awakens Trailers Before The Force Awakens

[Sevprince]

Since getting spot before TFA seems to have become Superbowl type deal, I thought it would be good idea to have a thread for trailers before the movie. Here you can share what trailers you got, how the crowd react to it and what trailers do you want to see before the movie?

The battle to secure trailer time intensifies as 'Star Wars' prepares to open everywhere in North America on Dec. 18.

May the force be with rival Hollywood studios trying to get their trailers placed before Disney and Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The Force Awakens, from director J.J. Abrams.

One studio already prevailing is Paramount, which will unveil a promo for Star Trek Beyond tied to Force Awakens, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. The Star Wars reboot launches in select theaters on the evening of Dec. 17 before opening everywhere in North America on Dec. 18.

It's no surprise that the latest installment in the Star Trek series would get favored treatment. Abrams, whose Bad Robot production company is based at Paramount, produced Star Trek Beyond after directing the first two films in the revitalized franchise, Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness (2013).

Abrams gave up directing duties on Star Trek Beyond to helm Star Wars: Force Awakens for Lucasfilm and Disney.

Star Trek Beyond doesn't open in theaters until July 22, but there couldn't be a better berth to showcase the film than Force Awakens.

Other 2016 tentpoles likely to secure trailer placement include Warner Bros.' Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (March 25), Universal's The Huntsman's Winter War (April 22), X-Men: Apocalypse (May 27) and Independence Day: Resurgence (June 24). The latter two are both from Fox.

And that doesn't include potential promos from Disney, whether The Jungle Book (April 15), Captain America: Civil War (May 6) or Finding Dory (June 17).

I know Disney can attach certain amount of movies to TFA which means they will be shown at every showing in every theater. Other movies the theater gets to choose if to attach it or not. If I read this report right, that means Star Trek gets attach to TFA by Disney like Civil War would be right? Maybe a favor to JJ Abrams. Does anyone know how many trailers each studio is allowed to attach to their movies? Also, do theaters have limit on how many trailers in total can be shown in front of any given movie?

I really hope I get to see XMA when I go see this movie. I had occasions where that didn't happen in previous years.
I'm guessing the BFG trailer is also part of this since it is from Disney.

So lets see the list:
Already have trailers out
CA:CW
BFG
BvS
Huntsman's Winter War
Jungle Book
Finding Dory
Tarzan
TMNT
XMA
Independence Day: Resurgence

Not Out Yet
Star Trek Beyond
Fantastic Beasts
Deadpool


If you know of any other trailer not list, share.

Can the mods just call this thread the "Crowd Reports" thread?

 

[Apollo]

To be honest, the only Trailer i'd care to see is the Rogue One teaser, which seems like we won't get one.

 

[jokesonm3]

You know i still haven't seen the BvS trailer play in cinema yet.

Hopefully Star Wars is the time.

 

[CFE]

I remember when I went and saw "The Dark Knight Rises" in IMAX, they were literally so adamant about showing after showing that they didn't show trailers whatsoever. Audiences would roll in, get the movie and roll out for the next batch of people to go in. And being a Batman fan, I was more than fine with it.

I'd be more than fine if the same thing happened here, honestly. We've been waiting long enough and we have the internet and YouTube.

I mean if they want to just cut to the chase and roll the movie on its own...I'd be okay with that.

I'm right there with ya. That's the only one that matters to me

 

[Sithborg]

The Star Wars trailer was supposed to be attached to AOU. I didn't get it. All I know is, I won't get the ones I really want to see.

 

[Sevprince]

I never get the ones I really want either. Just watch, it'll be huntsman, tmnt and tarzan.

 

[samsnee]

Just start the movie already!

 

[Drizzle]

This is one instance where I'll be content if they don't play any trailers at all.

It's funny how they're releasing virtually every trailer online weeks in advance now. It wasn't long ago where you had to actually go to see the movie in a theater on opening weekend in order to catch a certain trailer first, otherwise you had to wait until the following Monday to see it online.

 

[psylockolussus]

I want to see the trailers of X-Men: Apocalypse and Star Trek Beyond when I watch this film.

 

[RocketsNutz]

Would be awesome if we got a tease for Rogue One. Probably won't happen, but still would be awesome. Wasn't it this time last year we got the TFA teaser?

They got smart. You would get all the eyes from the theater watching the trailer AS WELL AS all the eyes from the internet.

It's been over a year since we got the first teaser. And it would make sense for them to show a Rogue One teaser before TFA. Maybe they are and it's just being kept a huge secret.

 

[John Locke]

We can probably add Fantastic Beasts to the list. It's getting a trailer next week. Fantastic Beasts comes out a month before Rogue One, hopefully we get a trailer for it.

 

[Sevprince]

I just saw the Fantastic Beast announcement.
I have my misgiving about this movie but damn this just exceeded my XMA excitement and even seeing TFA movie next week.

[Sevprince]

lol exactly.

 

[Golgo-13]

Zootopia got a huge reaction from the crowd i was with.

 

[Supernova]

Alot of kiddie movies and cap 3

 

[Mace Dolex]

Mostly pansy Disney/ Pixar junk.

 

[Sundancer]

We got both BvS and Civil War

It felt like a weird crossover

 

[Asharad]

I saw:
- CA:Civil War
- The 5th Wave
- Zootopia

 

[Asharad]

Zootopia got a huge reaction from the crowd i was with.

The sloth scene was freakin hilarious.

 

[L33CHem]

The Civil War trailer got like zero reaction from the crowd at my showing. There was no BvS trailer played. I think people were just ready for SW and it didn't matter what kind of trailer played.
