Deadline: Saturday was a rocking day for Comic-Con fans of big studio tentpole films, but the actions of a couple of copyright-thieving weasels who pirated and posted exclusive Hall H movie footage has major studios reconsidering showing exclusive sizzle reels in the future.
Looks like a stacked lineup not to be missed. See you in San Diego! Warner Bros. Discovery takes flight at Comic-Con 2022, as the combined divisions of the company are joining forces to mark the first in-person presence in three years at the world’s premiere comic book and popular arts convention.
It is almost time for Comic-Con at home and here is what AMC has planned.
With an in-person show impossible as planned, "Snake Eyes" will Kick Off Comic-Con At Home.
whatever - walk it off you babies. Excluding people from seeing footage is bullshit and everyone knows it but the people who actually attend these events. Why not make it a bigger better Con by permitting live streams and broadcast rights? E3 does it and it sure as hell isn't hurting them. In fact - I'd wager to say that they're better bigger and stronger than ever before because of that.
Hopefully. You can now include X-men Apocalypse to that list
They are there to show off their films for the first time and instead of showing all of us they'd rather just show people who are there. I mean fair enough they've actually went to comic con but I think all of us would if we could but obviously have things in our life's which stop us like money, time, location...maybe all three. It's not like our local comic cons are the same.
Although saying that people who do attend get other goodies aswell so it's not like showing the trailers to everyone is going to tick them off that something they thought was an exclusive is now not.
At least stream everything online.
I think it's totally stupid business wise to make it "exclusive" anyways. The only reason I could use (to back up the idea) is a studio like WB that wants to spread out their trailers. For example release Suicide Squad a little bit later than BvS so they don't compete.
Yet locking it down to just the con is stupid to me still. SDCC for example is going to sell out no matter what. Those of us that want to (and can) go still can't because it sells out.... so why punish us even more? Next why would you cut out an audience when you are the center of attention? You have every entertainment media outlet there is looking at you, and even regular news and talk shows, and you decide "meh, cut em out!" WHAT? People spend MILLIONS to get that type of attention (look at the superbowl) and you don't want it? YEAH RIGHT!
Part of me thinks they love the "leaks" because it gives them more attention in a way.
The absolute only people that benefit from this is SDCC itself because they feel keeping it exclusive gets people in the door. For everyone else they are simply missing out on advertising and it's insane that they let it happen....
