For some unknown reason, my local theater didn't even show trailers before Cap. None at all. Was kinda weird. I was really hoping for a 2nd TMNT trailer (or to see the first on the big screen), and maybe a new Guardians of the Galaxy trailer.

Off topic, but Captain America 2 was preeeeetty damn awesome, huh?

I got a TMNT trailer in front of Cap. People were actually excited at first. When Shredder said "Miss O'Neil" someone said "Oh man! It's Ninja Turtles!"

Then when it got to showing their faces, there was a bunch of groans and a couple remarks, someone said "WHAT?!" when we first see them, and another person said "What is THAT?" when Mikey took his mask off.

I've been really interested to see the public response to this movie. The crowd I was in liked it well enough until they saw the turtles.

I didn't get a trailer either... I was a little disappointed. Captain America was awesome but I wanted to see the trailer.

Dude, the trailer is all over the Internet now. Not sure why we need this thread (nothing personal).

Audiences don't act like that. At all.

The closest I've seen to something like this is after a somewhat intense trailer of Prometheus, when someone shouted, "Holy ****!" and everyone laughed.

I saw Cap last night, and there was a TMNT trailer attached. But I guess somebody was asleep at the switch because there was no audio playing until it ended.

Absolute silence from the crowd. Nobody said anything at all - not about the trailer or not being able to hear it. Weird.

The people I was with made a joke about being glad there was no sound, but they're aware of my feelings on this movie so don't read too much into that.

Not sure what you expect me to say to that. It's not like I took video. I just payed special attention to the reactions, since I'd already seen the trailer a dozen times, so at this point I'm more interested to know what the public's reaction is. I guess it helps that crowded theaters around here tend to be extremely vocal. I saw Avengers in theaters three different times and still had no idea what the Hulk said after he smashed Loki, it was so drowned out by laughter and chatter.

There were a bunch of kids in the row in front of me and I was really hoping to hear them react, but they didn't. All the reactions I heard came from adults.

Apparently where you live people are a lot more quiet and behaved. People chatter during films pretty often around here, as long as it's a packed theater. The same guy who said "What IS THAT!?" also shouted "OH ****! It's BUCKY!" when he took his face mask off.

found out that the movie company give them the movie with a long list of suggested trailer to go in front of the movie, and they often get to choose, Talked to my friend who the head manager at local theater he said yeah tmnt trailer was suggested but so were literally like 75 other trailers so they picked two Godzilla and GOTG at are local movie theater this might have been why they retracted the producers statement as not every theater is going to play the trailer

EDIT

Also movie theater what the least amount of time as to have the most turn over (more showing thus more people) so they might shorten amount of trailers as well ass wanting shorter trailer times in font of movies

That would explain why I got to see it. They were playig Cap on at least 3 screens at my theater, so the turnover wasn't rushed at all. I think there was about 5 or 6 trailers in front of the film. TMNT was the very first one they played, and GOTG was the last.

It wasn't in 3D when I saw it, which sucked, because they actually played the "put on your 3D glasses" clip before the trailer, but I quickly realized nothing was in 3D. Then they played a completely different "put on your 3D glasses" clip directly after the trailer.

I know of multiple people that have seen the same trailer b4 Cap. America, but I also heard something about Disney bitching about only previewing their trailers for the first week starting today I think. Smart. If I were them I would want to give TMNT as little attention as possible bc its going up against another one of their films in the same week.

Remember, this was just some guy's Facebook post that got deleted. There was no official "promise" of a trailer. It was never a sure thing.

I saw Cap 2 at a regular theater, and they ran several trailers, but not TMNT. When I saw it at IMAX, they only ran one trailer - The Amazing Spider-Man 2. But I imagine that my local IMAX doesn't care much about trailers, since they only have one screen, and they'll sell their tickets regardless.

i am not surprised Its probably set up by projection lacky, movie theaters can pick and choose what trailers show up with which movie as long as there isn't some sort of major contract, which rarely happens


when i go see movies after my friend closes the theater he usually puts 12 trailers we really wanna see
