So with just days to go before the Super Bowl
we are only NOW getting a confirmation of the movie trailers
we can expect to see on Game Day.
And as I'm sure many of you noticed right away
most of the BIG movies of for 2015
and even 2016, there were hopes for a Batman v Superman spot
are not listed here.
And it's also pretty heavy on Universal movies!
What's going on here?
And why did it take so long to even get this list?
When in the past Super Bowl trailers have announced weeks in advance?
Well it would seem that the internet and conglomerates
are finally changing, for good, the way movies are advertised.
Now this year the Super Bowl is airing on NBC.
Every year it switches networks to be fair.
And NBC is part of the Comcast conglomerate.
Which also includes...Universal Pictures.
So apparently the OTHER Hollywood conglomerates don't want to help
Comcast out with their Super Bowl ratings!
Especially because they use the same trick to help out their own in-house events.
And the best most recent example of this is Disney
and their VERY valuable Marvel trailers.
Why help out Comcast and the Super Bowl
when they can help their own shows?
For instance, Ant-Man's trailer debuted with Agent Carter's premiere
on Disney owned ABC.
And then for that big college football game over on
ESPN, also owned by Disney,
they debuted, well let's call it Avengers Age of Ultron trailer 1.5
because there wasn't a lot of new material included there.
