Has Guardians of the Galaxy already won August

[TMNTChris1980]

The trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy was released this week, and WOW! My facebook feed was exploding with the people sharing the trailer. People who had no idea what it was until the trailer was released were talking about it too.

The fact that the trailer was launched on Jimmy Kimmel also brought in a huge hype factor.

So with all that...

Did Guardians of the Galaxy just win the month of August, and is this another nail in the TMNT 2014 movie coffin?

I hope so. This movie will hopefully kill the TMNT movie dead .

Never have I wanted a TMNT property to bomb so bad.

Afraid it's a big possibility that Guardians will outshine TMNT.

As much as I negatively critique what we've seen as of this date, I still hope the movie will reel in enough to make more stuff that I can enjoy. Just what the TF movies did.

I mean we haven't even had a tmnt trailer. It could bring a big boom for sure, you can't really say until August, especially not until the tmnt trailer. But it could in the end and I think it's a big possibility.

You should hope Turtles bombs so the next movie is a proper reboot.

[TrickOrTreater]

It's definitely a possibility.

A lot of positive buzz about this new trailer(and well earned, it looks awesome).

TMNT's main competition stepped up to the plate and hit a home run.

It's their move to give us something. Anything.

which will what, possibly take a decade?

I'm a patient person, but really. This movie isn't for me, never will be with it's direction. And I'm okay with it cause we still have decent quality stuff.

It's certainly possibly. Granted, social media chatter doesn't always translate into box office $$$, but at the very least, it has people talking and most of what is being said is very positive.

I wish I got it. I don't get it. I watched the trailer. It looked like fun. But I don't know what clicked with everyone. It didn't even show what the story is about.

impatience among fans isn't the issue at hand. The lack of marketing is eerie, especially when a Marvel movie got so much.

Because it was a teaser. Teasers don't show story.

Trailers show story.

[TigerClaw]

Teasers only show the imagery to wet people's appetite, When the 2nd trailer comes out, It'll focus more on Story. I have a feeling the Teaser Trailer for TMNT will be just that. Lots of flashes of images and and maybe show the Turtles doing something, Perhaps show them doing a Fighting Stance.

It's not about new fans or impatience or whatever ******** you want to call it.

It's about marketing. Specifically marketing for big budget comic book type movies.

Movies like TMNT.

Movies like this get promo material sometimes a year to years in advance. That's usual a teaser poster or character teaser images. TMNT hasn't gotten that.

A year to about 6 months from release it gets a teaser trailer. TMNT hasn't gotten that.

Any of it. It's 5 months before release and we only just now know what the stars of the freaking movie look like because of an accidental leak of a children's halloween costume, slightly blurry leaked shots of some production maquettes, a leaked shot of a merchandise promo image and some action figures.

THAT'S UNUSUAL.

[chrisdude]

I wasn't questioning why the story wasn't revealed. Only why people care about movies without knowing what they're about.

Because they're a fan of the comic book/characters?

Am I the only one who has no idea what GOTG is?

It's a Marvel space comic book.

it looks pretty good, but i wouldnt count it as #1 yet. the GotG comic didnt do as strong as they hoped. i liked it and i think it will translate well into a movie, but the general mavel fanbase didnt seem to grab onto it much.

We'll know for sure if everything else due out in August gets rescheduled.
