I don’t go to movies very often, targeting ads at people already viewing them regularly seems unsustainable.
Comment on Borderlands is no longer the biggest box office flop of the year
iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks agoI mean, how do you typically hear about movies? I saw trailers for both at the last movie I was at, and Borderlands had a pretty big ad run.

Although they are the ones who go to the cinema regularly. Targeting them at people who don’t go seems a waste.

But if they stop going at any point then they stop hearing about it. Its a naturally shrinking demographic.
You need to reach out to new audiences to replace old ones. We need ads at locations and on platforms frequented by youth to see good box office returns for obscure films.

Since I don’t go to the theater, watch tv, use adblock on the internet, and don’t follow any movie related news sources… I learn about movies by people complaining about how bad they are.

Yeah I never go to theaters. I hadn’t heard anything about the crow but borderlands was pretty much unavoidable. I saw ads for that thing absolutely everywhere.

I didn’t, but I would have gone to see it if I knew.

No… Don’t say that about your self. Life is worth more than that.

Nah it ain’t
Sometimes I watch Mystery Science Theatre 3000, I have literally no narrative standards.
