I hate the teaser of the teaser trend. Is it really that much more effective as a marketing tool? Have there been studies or something?

Yea it's rediculous. We will get a tease from a company about something. That tease turns out to be an announcement of a teaser coming out. That teaser ends up being a teaser for a teaser. Then we finally get a teaser trailer.

And somehow teaser trailers are like 2 1/2 minutes long. Then months later we get anouncements and teases and more anouncements for the first "OFFICIAL Trailer"  Ok, so somehow a 2 1/2 minute long thing is not a trailer?

Then toss in multiple "official trailers" and the month of release and the 20 different commercials locally and internationally and they wonder why people are underwhelmed by their movie. You show off too much, and hype too much too soon.

I think the idea is that if the trailer shows clips from the film, but reveals nothing about the actual plot, then it's technically a "teaser" regardless of length. I feel like it wasn't always this way, though.

And yeah, the whole teaser for a teaser stuff is ridiculous beyond words.
