I finally did see Wonder Woman this weekend, and found it pretty darn good. But a curious thing has happened to previews shown before the movie begins. I've always understood them as a way to whet an audience's appetite for movies to be released.
But judging from what I saw, the movie studios very much want me to skip Rough Night, Wish Upon and quite a few others. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
saw a tv ad for "Rough Night" and I think I agree with you. They claimed it was "Funnier than 'Bridesmaids'" which probably tells me all I need to know right there. (That I'm not in their demographic, and that I wouldn't find it funny)
ReplyDeleteI know I'm not the target for most of the movies made anymore and so most previews just wash past me, but this set seemed designed to actively encourage disinterest. If I was face to face with one of the greenlighters for these projects, had him or her on truth serum and asked, "Why should I give you my money to see this movie?" I doubt there would be much of an answer beyond, "If you don't I'll get fired."
