nobody cares about interviews, tv promo or red carpets in this day and age

especially for big blockbusters like this

 

only trailers and social media engagement matters.

 

Absolutely not true. Red carpet and interviews are important and they are the thing creates more social media engagement. 

gosling and Robbie promo was fondamental for Barbie engagements, as without Jennifer Lawrence promo her last movie would have been released in a kinda of Total anonymity.

 

 

It's not like the first movie made 1B dollars and the success of this Is so safe.

So WB's other blockbuster sci-fi film, MICKEY 17 is set to release two weeks later. Talk about cannibalising your audience. 

 

I imagine Villeneuve is probably tired of how WB has treated his Dune projects. Total amateur hour.

I’m not surprised, they want to do as much promo for this as possible and maximize the box office numbers.

 

But March?? should push it to at least summer

its not true. every1 knows it coming out, so its bullshit. I hope it flops so hard now

Some projects need the attention whoring stuff by actors, but there are some that don't need the weeks-long press junkets. Dune is one of those that can get by without it.. What it really needs the most, even w/o the strike, is the obvious critical acclaim (especially "better than the first" reviews) and creative marketing. If WB were competent, they would make it work - but they're lazy and dumb and uncreative!

Omg 

Well at least by that time I'll finish all the books

Oscars chances killed. 2 full trailers released for waste. Empire mag spread tomorrow, well, f*** that now. 

 

6 weeks of solo IMAX play gone. Just pure stupidity. 

 i'd say this is exactly the type of movie that doesn't the need the "barbie treatment." sure it'd have helped having chalamet, pugh, zendaya, butler to promenade during the promos but having all this opportunity.. *** i was looking for it.

[TOKYO.]

Also be mad at Legendary Entertainment. They are the ones who had the final vote for the delay

WB lost Nolan, now they’re going to piss off Villeneuve.

yeah the major it's gonna gave us Barbie, Dune, Mickey 17 and Furiosa in 6 months is uncreative 

 

just think what are disney and sony so...

 

a movie absolutely need stars to promote the movie...your post is the typical "internet world is the world". There is absolutely a huge part of audience needs talk shows, tv interviews on good morning america and all this stuff to be involved.

Mmm, true but also not true at all. Barbie wouldn't have been the same success without Ryan Gosling endlessly talking about his "Kenergy" or Margot Robbie's fashion choices. Dune have Zendaya, Timothee, Florence Pugh AND Austin Butler so of course they need the promo cycle. 

 

Anyways, f+ck these studios. Greedy ass motherf+ckers.

y'all can spin it however you want it through your hungry promo lens but Margot and Gosling did nothing. NADA. just being in the trailers and posters was enough.

 

the huge 'barbie' brand itself + viral trailers (+ some sprinkling of the Barbenheimer meme that started last year when the movie release date was announced that cemented the date in collective minds) did ALL the work.

 

I'd say even the music itself did 10x times more for the movie than whatever promo the cast actually did. no one cares.

is the first one worth watching? i remember it was really long and people were not that happy with it?

I'm pretty sure Mickey 17 will move as well, the slate shifts are not done yet.

This is so unbelievably false it's absolutely wild that you've deluded yourself into thinking it's true.  There's tonnes and tonnes of research and evidence that has gone into unpacking how exceptionally effective the Barbie marketing campaign was and that is heavily down to how visible the cast was with the promotion. For example, Margot's Barbie looks on the red carpet exploded across social media and drove so many eyes onto the film.

 

There's a reason why box office tracking started exploding once the marketing kicked in and didn't when the trailers dropped. I'm genuinely gagged at you convincing yourself otherwise.

let's agree to disagree

to me no one cares about this stuff other than the huntys on social media like you said. i'll delude myself if I have to. it helps a little but not enough to make a difference like I've seen a million times in the past. good brand, good marketing and good word-of-mouth is all it needs to make it through.

 

and yes the Barbie marketing was perfect but the cast doin promo is certainly not the aspect that made it work.

March is crazy, not this getting the Ant Man/Shazam slot

You really knows nothing about marketing.

There a reason the Barbie promo tour happen 2 weeks in advance cause they knows the strike would happen so they do it sooner.

That promo tour create insane hype that lead to Barbie success. Sure, other marketing tools help but without the promo tour, it wont be a big event that urge everyone crashing movie theaters.

And maybe you're from the US, so you get used to celebs but in other country, a major stars arrive in red carpet can create lots of buzz for the movie in that country.

 

Timothee and Zendaya are red carpet star, they are casted cause they can do a good promo tour so this kinda makes sense.

Its funny that you used Taylor for this comparison.

Taylor Swift worked her ass off and doing intensive promo in person for her 1st 5 eras to build her fanbase. She only slowed down with the in person promo since reputation.

 

This movie has a fanbase but clearly also not enough for it to smash, they need to promo the movie to the GP
