My favourite example of movie marketing is that one poster for the 2018 Illumination movie The Grinch which had The Grinch saying, “Green and salty, just like me.” Which some absolute saint then photoshopped, “me.” to, “My nuts.”

One of my least favorite parts of movie marketing is hiring A list actors with no voice acting talent for voice acting roles just so they can put the name on the posters. Voice acting brings life to animated media, it takes a special set of skills.

[@MrTherandomguy42]

Blame Disney’s marketing for Aladdin for that, and with how well it did. Since everyone loved the late Robin Williams as the Genie, Hollywood execs decided that EVERY animated film released in cinemas would require an A-List cast. The most insulting thing about that story is that Robin Williams specifically requested Disney to not promote his name in the marketing.

[@MelonSkywalker]

i know what your talking about but sometimes its good and chris pratt is all over the place but is good in the lego movie and im hyped for mario movie

[@motherplayer]

Alas. The spectrum is hard. For every Wreck-It Ralph or Lego Movie that actually uses it's star studded cast for reasons beyond just being marketable names, we get stuff like Emoji Movie or the Sing films which seem like they put more money into getting these names and putting them on marketing than they did their actual films.

One misleading marking thing I’ll always remember is the second SpongeBob movie. Literally every trailer focused on the 3D live action versions of the characters, mostly their superhero forms. Most of the film is in 2D, with the 3D coming about halfway though and the superheroes only appearing like 20 minutes till the end. It’s not even a bad thing, I appreciated that we were getting some sort of 2D film in theaters and it is a noticeable quality bump over the show, but it’ll always stick out to me

[@senritsujumpsuit6021]

Yeah it's comediclly misleading

One of my personal favorite bait and switch teasers popped up in 2011. They spent a good two minutes advertising this romantic comedy that Jason Segal and Amy Adams were in, then out of nowhere they show Kermit and Miss Piggy. And then they just toss the romantic comedy stuff out the window to say, “Yes. This is a trailer for a Muppets movie”.

The thing about Kangaroo Jack is even crazier with more context on its creation. Basically, the film was originally going to be an R-rated heist comedy. But after the film was fully finished, they thought it was garbage. So with the talking kangaroo dream, it was decided to completely change the movie into a family-friendly talking animal movie. The trailer clickbait seems to have been the only way they could have feasibly sold this dumpster-fire to kids. Yet they kept some of the more mature material as well, such as a scene where the main character literally sexually assaults a woman!

I will always be confused at the marketing for Godzilla VS Kong. They literally revealed nothing about the movie for years, the only news we got being leaks or that damn poster/banner that they kept reusing to tease people, and then barely two months before the movie releases they drop a bunch of 10 second TV spots and then a full on trailer that reveals pretty much the entire movie’s plot and ending. Yet somehow despite all of this the marketing NEVER officially revealed Mechagodzilla’s design, the main villain of the movie! I have no idea what the thought process was with that.

[@victorhernandez5013]

This doesn't just apply to movies. I was so excited for Metroid Dread that I didn't watch anything beyond the initial teaser trailer. No gameplay, no trailers and then when I played the game and Kraid appeared I felt hype because Kraid is awesome and he's not been in a Metroid game since 2004 and it wasn't until a month later that I learned that reveal was totally spoiled in one of the early trailers.

[@mynameisharry8739]

Not a movie, but the marketing for the cancelled SILENT HILLS was f***ing genius. Creating a playable teaser demo, disguising it as a new game by an unknown studio and then leaving it for the internet to solve. Solving and finishing it, giving you a teaser that actually revealed the game's true nature. That teaser was so good, it literally ended up becoming one of the scariest horror games of all time.

[@Mario_Angel_Medina]

Minute 10:57 yes, that's sort of the origin of the therm "snuff film". Back in the 70s a movie producer thought the horror film they've made inspired by the *then very recent* Mason Family massacre didn't turned out good enough to make a profit, so they filmed an extended ending in wich they break the 4th Wall to make the director, the actors and film crew kill a female mic operator and advertise it as a real murder (it wasn't, obviously). They also changed the original title of the film from "I Drink Your Blood" to just "Snuff" (wich was already 70s slang for killing something or someone)... it worked in the sense that the outrage gave that awfully bad B-movie a ton of free publicity, but the movie itself is so boring and cheap-looking that it was quickly forggotten and even fans of shocking and inmoral schlock often ignore it

One of my all time favourite teaser trailers was for El Camino, it's a short scene of Skinny Pete being interrogated and telling the cops to fuck off because he doesn't know what happened to Jesse. It works so perfectly because it gives nothing away about the plot but inspires a lot of questions. Why does Skinny not have his trademark hat? Why did he specify Mexico? Is he telling the truth? Etc, all of this gets paid off in the movie itself when Skinny comes through with the plan to help Jesse evade the tracker on the car he stole which would obviously incriminate himself, which led to him being interrogated which we've already scene. That's how I think teasers should be handled, they give no answers, only questions that reward you for seeing the movie and putting 2 and 2 together

[@TheReZisTLust]

I actively avoid trailers for games and Movies cause they ruin lots and it's surprisingly easy to piece together a entire plot from a few scenes. It's weird

Finally, A diamondbolt video. I'm happy again after a long time.

I think a big part of a movie success it's probably the marketing yeah there's other factors but most of the time directors Studios and companies will focus on the marketing so they can 1 show some scenes from the movie that they're advertising even if some of those scenes never existed or changed and 2 see how many people will show up to movie they're seeing obviously I'm not an expert on movies on how they're produced and how the marketing works for them but marketing is kind of important to a movie success even if that movies is shit

**TL;DR is, marketing goes for hype instead of intrigue.** Longer version of comment: The best movie trailers are the ones directed by the movie director themselves, without a doubt. When a marketing team makes a trailer, they don't think about what's intended to be known before seeing the movie, they try to get as much hype with the trailer that they can. An example is Harrison Ford in Cyberpunk 2077, they showed him in the trailer which the director didn't want, but since the marketing team knew that showing Harrison Ford would give "more hype" for the movie, they included him there for that purpose.

That reminded of the people getting upset that The Village was marketed as a horror movie and when it was actually a love story.

i totally forgot about that austin powers trailer, man that was amazing, i remember being the theatre to watch another movie when they played that and laughing out loud at that reveal

[@teddyuhh]

the one movie that did great marketting was spiderman no way home, they did not spoil anything in the teaser trailer, the actual trailer was questionable but the teaser was spoiling a little but only to get people so excited for the movie and he became such a success

[@Deadgirl97]

13 Cloverfield lane had an ARG as well. Not as famous or extensive but it's still there. I participated in it on the Cloverfield subreddit and it was pretty interesting

[@doktorweedus7659]

Ok few things to say 1. Jennifer’s body was advertised on a porn site 2. TASM 2 is low key the best movie of time 3. The actors parents of The Blair Witch Project actually got letters and calls of condolences after the movie

[@AdamBros]

One of the worst is Morbius with Spider-Man signs everywhere in the trailer and the vulture… and none of these things are in the final movie

I remember a funny trailer was for Madagascar Escape 2 Africa, but the trailer called it “The Crate Escape.” I didn’t realize that it was for Madagascar Escape 2 Africa. I went crazy trying to find “The Crate Escape” despite having technically seen it dozens of times as a kid. Anyone else remember that “Crate Escape” trailer from the Bee Movie DVD?

[@bemiatto67]

YES!! That confused me so much until I eventually realized as I got older that the sequel was either renamed or rewritten

[@hayfrand5094]

9:41 For a moment there I thought he was gonna start talking about the sponsor of the video 💀

[@eee9120]
