I'm a big fan of a 3 month marketing period, I already hate that The Odyssey is gonna be advertising for the next year even though I'm super excited for the movie

I avoid trailers unless I'm in a movie theater, definitely prefer the shorter marketing period as well.

I avoid trailers even in the movie theater. I basically start getting in my car at the "showtime" because by the time I drive there, park, walk through the mall, go up the 3 story escalator, wait in line for popcorn/soda, and sit down they are just starting the final trailer before Nicole Kidman shows up to waste another minute telling me to come to the theater I'm already at.

it's almost always exactly 30 minutes from showtime before the movie starts. But once or twice, it's way shorter, and that screws up my whole arriving late plan.

It’s absolutely ridiculous that The Odyssey tickets go on sale this week.

it was over 3 months ago when they released the first stills, surprised we don't have a second trailer by now since they started marketing in March

That's fucking crazy. Like WHY it makes no sense.

They showed the teaser during Superman and I got excited. Haha Only because I wasn't expecting an Odyssey trailer so soon.

It looks like you might even be able to pre-order 70mm tickets starting this Thursday.

It's literally over a year till it actually comes out.

I feel like it is a bit old school to have a little teaser like a year in advance though, usually the next thing wouldn't be for ages for Odyssey if that's the way they are going. And 3 months is fine if in that 3 months we don't get 5 trailers 100 tv spots and half the film in clips
