Were they trying to keep the movie release a secret for a reason?
Seems like a lot of us had no idea it was coming out this weekend…
Writers strike and actors strike, meant that only minimal promotion was possible
studios should've caved faster
True
Wrong. It was absolutely possible. Just not possible while sacrificing absolutely everything for their profit-focused timeline. I want movies to be profitable, but most studies won't accept anything lower than "wildly popular with opportunities for sequels and spinoffs".
much less what its even about. pass.
Right?
I have a few Capt Marvel fans in the house and if they’d invested in any kind of pre-release promotion I would probably have gotten release weekend tickets.
Where I live there were ads everywhere and on tons on TV.
I haven't watched broadcast or cable TV in over a decade.
All the MCU marketing I've gotten has been through hype, and after dozens of films the hype just isn't there anymore.
Though I think what really killed it for me was the Disney Plus shows. It started to feel like homework just to watch Marvel stuff.
Yeah, I watch basketball, so I see tons of movie ads still.
And agreed, I've given up on MCU shows and Disney+
