(testing this metric at the trailer stage is also . . . brave) {nm} slipping jimmy Mar 22, 14:35

The majority of people first learn about a new movie from its trailer. {nm} Antibody Mar 22, 14:40

I'll curious to see it in action but so far, no one method has proven reliable... well, except ticket sales. {nm} Captain Hindsight Mar 22, 14:43

This is arguably the most scientific as it measures your direct biological reaction. You can't lie like in a survey. {nm} Antibody Mar 22, 15:02

why stop at the trailer? do it for casting and watching dailies and screening preview cuts. Amazon did this kind of testing for concepts slipping jimmy Mar 22, 15:05

The value is in saying "we made a great trailer for it follows and people responded to it, let's try that as a theatrical" {nm} Moviesnob Mar 22, 16:42

Yep, they can measure your high level of emotions and nostalgia to BTATB, versus a much lower response to the B-film BELCO.. {nm} Antibody Mar 22, 16:57

"Studying". Suuuure. I'll be bringing a tinfoil hat from now on. {nm} islander Mar 22, 16:04
