Fandango, the nation’s leading digital destination for all things movies, surveyed more than a thousand filmgoers about yesterday’s Big Game ads for upcoming releases, and which ones made them the most excited. The survey was posted Sunday night after the game and concluded earlier today. According to the survey, 85% of film fans who watched the Super Bowl said they paid special attention to the movie ads during the broadcast. Fandango Movieclips assembled all of the Big Game film previews into one major movie mashup, which can be found below, with the fans picking theGuardians of the Galaxy 2 traileras their favorite.
Coming in second place toGuardians 2was 20th Century Fox’sLogan, followed by Disney’sPirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Universal’sThe Fate Of the Furious, Paramount’sTransformers: The Last Knight, Paramount’sGhost in the Shell, Lionsgate’sJohn Wick: Chapter 2, Paramount’sBaywatch, 20th Century Fox’sA Cure For Wellnessand Sony’sLife. It will be interesting to compare these rankings to what these movies will eventually make at the box office. All of these movies will be released between February and June this year, so we’ll have to wait and see what movies may have benefited from their “big game” commercials. Here’s whatFandangoManaging EditorErik Davishad to say about whyGuardians of the Galaxy 2came out on top.
