I’m excited to see the box score because the tickets are selling really well!

I’m nervous cause she hasn’t been trending well. I remember lemonade era whenever Beyonce did anything it went #1 on twitter. This announcement peaked at #4 I think and currently out of the top 20. Some theaters she will do well, other locations I expect first day to do decent and it’ll flop after opening weekend. She better spill some good tea to get the media to get people in the theaters

They give a small poster in my local cinema if you buy The Eras Tour Movie tickets before it's release, so I was expecting something like this.

I kinda agree that the trailer isn't the most exciting on its own...

 

but I'm fully expecting her to go into detail about what happened with her foot (if anything did), or whatever else was the reason and inspiration behind BREAK MY SOUL. this woman went through something and we're still in the dark about it. I think it will be juicy, for sure.

 

which is why I really don't mind this having interviews and narration instead of a straight up concert film. I'm excited for the behind the scenes stuff just as much if not more than the performances. I've seen the tour twice, watched a million times. of course I want the live album and high quality performance videos, but for me HOMECOMING's top highlights were the interviews and documentary pieces. I've watched "Making of the Gift" more than BLACK IS KING.

This not even being on her FB is comedy cause promoting to your casual fans is THE best thing you can do for this type of thing. One IG post is cute but not gonna cut it. She should be SPAMMING the hell out of this for the next 2 months 

I’ve been saying!!! No TikTok or twitter either. 
 

Releasing AS video would be great promo as well since it’s utilized so much in the trailer. Could have been her David Bowie Starman signature song.

Yes I agree.

 

What was magical about Homecoming is when a performance segment ended you were like "oh wait!" and then when the following BTS segment ended, you were like "wait what!?"...she kept us wanting both, imo.

 

I'm not bothered by it seeming to follow this format either. I mean how else can you reinvent a concert documentary if not to combine BTS with the actual concert?

Unpopular opinion but I’m not itching for a live album for once. To me all the songs sound the same as the record but with live drum which did nothing for me. Most songs sound better in the studio this time around. Y’all especially hyped up Cozy for no reason. I do like the voguing music during the dancers segment “ARE YOU READY??!!!”

If it flops, imma join the others and say the trailer was pretty lackluster. I know it’s corny to have dialogue taken out of context or a scene of crying but I think there are some stunts she could’ve pulled.

 

#1 include footage from the Dubai show specifically Drunk in Love, the tour can feature a moment of her coming up with the idea and then incorporating into the tour

 

#2 the DC show with the rain, show some footage of the dancers and her soaked but still serving fierce energy 

 

#3 tease a new song that will release with the live album

It's because she announced it in the middle of the night which I'm sure scrambled most of the hype and chaotic-ness from fans. It got announced at 2am for East Coast people, meaning if people were asleep - then they would've found out in the morning when they woke up. 

I don't think it really matters if she's promoted this much yet. In fact, I'd say she's doing the fans a service by letting them get all the (good) tickets first, and then as the date moves closer (there is still ~2 months) we can worry about if she's promoting it or not.

 

The only way promo now would serve her best is to have it fully sold out and ready (but again, that sucks for true fans who are competing with GP), or if they would open more showings based on demand.

TBH releasing the live album the week before, plus a new song (Before I Let Go style, so maybe a Sylvester cover would be amazing!) would be great pre-release promo.

I agree! The movie comes out in 2 months, not tomorrow. She will more than likely unveil more and more information, or more information will leak which will build hype. 
 

once she makes the Instagram telling people to come in chrome, they will start making outfit videos, etc. it’s going to be an event!

 

Secondly, they are still editing the film - so maybe they wanted to give as little away as possible until they have the final product

I cannot imagine any Hive member not wanting the live album...

 

GIRLFRIEND WHAT'S UP? HOW U DOING YES!  

COME FEEL THIS WE NEVER REST!  

NO STRESS REGRET RENAISSANCE YES!  

C*UNT TO THE FEMININE WHAT, OH!  

C*UNT C*UNT C*UNT C*UNT C*UNT C*UNT C*UNT 

C*UNT TO THE FEMININE WHAT, OH!

This would make for such a great THE RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR: LIVE ALBUM bonus track.

 

Not only is it by an under-appreciated iconic Black, queer artist, but the lyrics really embody the concept and purpose of the tour:

No

We have a whole 2 months before the film release. Surely we'll get a follow-up trailer, posters, the cinemas promoting it on their websites, worldwide theatrical release that will generate more buzz.. we have a long time for tickets to sell i'm not worried at all

But movie campaigns usually start much sooner than two months out. In terms of promotion it is not a lot of time.

 

Trailers are typically released 4 months ahead of time. She can't just post the trailer and disappear for the rest of the week. She should have immediately followed up with more social media content. 

Got my $30 ticket to see it in dolby, not a lot of seats were purchased but I'm glad cause I didnt want to be fighting people to see a damn movie

Still, this needs promo to the point where people rant about how sick they are of seeing it. I want FB ads, Youtube movie ads of the trailer on popular videos, TikTok banners, advertisements of silver popcorn containers, Alien Superstar/Cuff It candy, multiple billboards and posters, clips of the visuals (if they are even in the movie) etc., This is a film in THEATRES. Hype means almost everything when it comes something as grand as Bey. This isn't an album where she can be radio silent until the week of release.

if there’s one thing we can count on with her it’s her peddling stuff for us to buy 

I think there will be a second or third trailer like any movie released in theaters. The problem is film has not finished editing yet. She will work on that with Parkwood soon and then when they have the final product, no doubt she will release a more elaborate sickening trailer. The litle montage she released on her instagram a while ago was definitely more iconic so we know she has the content.

We are literally 2 months away and the film hasn’t even been announced for 12 hours! 
 

People also just went to the concert so is getting the crowd who wants to revisit that memory! 
 

I feel excited! 

Beyoncé in her cozy pose would have been an iconic cover.
