No social media in the 80's, but the primary source of advertising movies was trailers on tv and in the movie theaters. If a trailer didn't attract attendance, there was little chance of success. Word of mouth was slow with no social media existing. If a movie wasn't a blockbuster budget, it would disappear from theaters overnight.
wat I was saying is that before the movie comes out yeah, trailers are importantTrailers are massively important in selling a movie. The single biggest thing imo.
but today with Twitter, good word of mouth can save a bad trailer. or completely kill a movie .
I'm talking about after the first week. that first week will either save a movie with a bad trailer or completely bury it.
for me the trailer of the Marvels didn't seem horrible. it wasn't just normal.
