We need more lens flare!

 

[Dicer]

FFS it's a trailer...

 

[teruterubozu]

The toys must suck.

 

[Hex]

Did they add in all of those who tuned in to MNF and dvrd it to watch over and over?

 

[Hellsing321]

Disney is in big trouble. They'll probably have to sell off all their theme parks to pay for this disaster.

 

[Cheebo]

Did they add in all of those who tuned in to MNF?

Nope, just YouTube views.

 

[Sectorseven]

I hope we see him in a cameo role as a Sith Lord.

"Me sa gonna kill you...".

Jar Jar is Kylo Ren, that's why we didn't see him on the poster.

 

[devious.one]

It's obvious the race/gender of the lead actors are taking a toll on trailer views. Shut this shit down now before you further damage the franchise Disney!!

 

[superdeluxe]

edit: Ugh! title should be "trailer fails"

The third Star Wars TFA trailer came just 1 million short of the all-time record for most first day trailer views with 37 million.

The all time record is 38 million. Which happens to be held be the second teaser for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The second teaser took the all-time record from, of course, the first Star Wars TFA teaser.

Although with over 15 million viewers seeing on TV during Monday Night Football that might cloud things a bit.

It premiered on TV. Not online.

 

[CreepingFear]

I'll raise you this.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

I'm hyped as fuck for the movie, but I'm also on a media blackout. So, I didn't see it, and don't plan to.

I imagine a large number of fans are in the same boat.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

What does liking or not liking a trailer have to do with how many views it got though?

It matters when its framed to mock those who didn't like the trailer.

 

[cyberheater]

Also not enough green screen effects in the trailer. Come on Abrams. Sort your shit out.

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Not a statistic worth caring about. Not with how it was shown first or what people may have used to watch the trailer (on Apple's site instead of Youtube) and just how small the difference is.

[Armadilo]

Wait YouTube did you even count the 18 times that I watched the trailer .....

 

[Elginer]

I told everyone Star Wars would go the way of the western. They just wouldn't listen.

Space Western my man!

 

[Angry Grimace]

I mean, I think this is partially because the trailer did a good job of not spoiling the entire movie, so there's not a ton of incentive to watch it over and over. Just my guess.

 

[tycoonheart]

Well... Pre-order cancelled.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Wait YouTube did you even count the 18 times that I watched the trailer .....

Which one of you is this

 

[Wiseblood]

The real key to it all is Rick McCallum. We need Rick back!

It's so dense, every image has so many things going on.

 

[hellmonkey]

Im on 100% media black out. F trailers. I want my cherry to be popped in a room full of 100s of other people.

 

[Dicer]

Which one of you is this

He doesn't post here no more...so none of us.

 

[professor_t]

To be fair, the second teaser was a little better.

However, I think the jillion people who watched it during the actual football game may have put a dent in the number of online screenings.

 

[Cheebo]

It matters when its framed to mock those who didn't like the trailer.

Huh? There is no attacks about people who don't like the trailer.

 

[Bronx-Man]

It's so dense, every image has so many things going on.

It's gonna be great.

 

[LegendofLex]

Considering it also aired during a major ESPN broadcast, something the last teaser didn't do, I'm not sure why this is significant. It undoubtedly reached a much wider audience.

 

[CloudyTuba]

Jar Trek.

Cha-ching, ship it.

 

[Tomodachi]

Dead. The dream is dead.

 

[Kinyou]

Did we underestimate the effect of #BoycottStarWarsVII after all?

/jk

 

[Subpar Spatula]

Huh? There is no attacks about people who don't like the trailer.

Not attacks, but mocking. What's the point in highlighting the "doom" part? Whenever doom is brought up in success it's used to lay the proverbial pimp smack on haters.

 

[WickedLaharl]

I think you're taking it a bit too seriously.

 

[Cheebo]

I was just joking about how the movie is doomed because it didn't best it's own trailer record. I have no idea where you are getting any of these perceived mocks.

 

[Netherscourge]

Didn't break the record?!?!?

 

[Boke1879]

Shouldn't have released in at the worst time for the rest of the world. Too early for Asia, too late for Europe.

I thought it was a bit odd they waited so late to show it. It would have been awesome to show it earlier in the day.

But 15 million seeing it during MNF is great as well.

 

[MilkyJoe]

Maybe people are not watching to avoid spoilers, that's my excuse.

 

[daveo42]

So what I'm reading is that Star Wars is going to fail because Star Wars couldn't beat Star Wars. Huh.

 

[Snake]

Star Wars had a good run.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

[stabi]

What did you expect? It's just a space ship movie

 

[ultron87]

This is my fault. I decided to hide from this newest trailer. Want to be surprised by those set pieces!

I liked the trailers because they basically dont show anything

 

[SliceSabre]

Bomba confirmed.

 

[Blablurn]

you hear some relieve form the age of ultron vs star wars box office thread guys

 

[BUNTING1243]

not gonna beat avengers

 

[Einchy]

Spoiler

When I googled for that picture I came across this http://imgur.com/fPvcMJY
Disney will ruin Star Wars!

 

[Not]

It's obvious people's excitement is waning.

6.5 million in one-day ticket sales 2 months before it comes out? I bet if they cut off sales and then opened them again, it'd be only 5.5 million in one day.

You can just set up something on craigslist if you want that.

Goddamn it Lucas!!
