Here's how it goes :

JUNE : all work stop because holidays are coming next month

JULY : half the country on holiday

AUGUST : the other half on holiday. The july people are back, but it takes them a month to get to work again.

SEPT : everyone's back, but since the august people are taking a month to get into work again, the july people also lay low and slow.

OCTOBER ; work starts again.

It should be pointed out that in december, all work stop, and january, is the month to get into it again, and that in may, what, Cannes, lots of national off days.

It leaves only FEB/MARCH/APRIL and OCT/NOV to do any work in France, and there goes your whole year. Records are released in either of those months. You miss one of those windows, you're done. One year wasted.

Hi, any news of a sneaky release of the trailer from yesterday's Hancock premiere? I suspect, from a UK standpoint, that that was the opportunity to get an early release but perhaps we may get something after Hancock is shown at the Moscow Film Festival today. Hope springs eternal!

Well it always amuses me when I see a post that says "Should Bond movies be released in summer again?" and I always reply that they are always summer movies here in Australia. Casino Royale and Happy Feet were the big hits of Summer 2006-7.

Of course.

The effects of globalisation.

Hadn't thought of that.

Surely no country can be this great?

[Marketto007]

PS: Just testing my new Sign, what do you think guys?

Is that just a good guess/shot in the dark, or do you know something that we don't?

[Marketto007]

Just a guess Scamp, don't worry.

Perhaps a sweepstake would be good!

We all pick a day, and whoever wins gets the begrudging admiration of the rest of us!

I say 21st

Marketto says 28th


Pick away.......

[BoogieBond]

I'll pick 2nd July and bet with $50 of monopoly money

[Arbogast777]

Of course Hancock just premiered in London. Here's a picture of it!

[Quantumofsolace007]

Will's wife must be pleased. It seems he has a hugh cock!

Glad to see some workmen with a sense of humour, or possibly just no sense.

Indeed.


12 more days untill Hancock. So I guess we'll get the trailer quite soon.

[Pierce - Daniel]

Here's how it goes (sadly)
Sony will likely release on a week day, no real news comes out from the studios over the weekend, even they need to relax, so don't expect anythin on Sat or Sun. The likelihood the trailer will be out this week have slimmed out ALOT, if it does it will come out GMT tonight or early tomorrow morning, if it dosen't then don't expect to hear from the studio untill next week.
But from Monday onwards its fairplay from Sony, they can release it any point up to there. I seriously doubt they will wait past Friday. If they do, I will be very surprised.

BUT.....there's a 'quantum of solace' in there somewhere, we can still hope for a leak which could come at any time of the day or week.

[Scamp]

Do the various premieres of Hancock around the world increase the likelihood of an early look at the teaser? It was suggested that the teaser WOULD be accompanying Hancock at the premieres rather than just Hancock itself, surely that increases the chances doesn't it?

Mind you if we weren't all so keen to see it and unless we thought that we might get to see it early we wouldn't be populating this topic in such large numbers and awaiting every snippet of info with such anticipation!

[Ry]

Scamp, I highly doubt that the QOS trailer was played at the premiere of Hancock. Premieres are meant to celebrate the opening film. Studios will not promote other product during premiere. At least I have never seen it done at a premiere before.

[Pierce - Daniel]

Ry, you work in the industry when can we expect a trailer then?
Or do you know when cinemas get copies of the film in? How many days before hand?

[Ry]

I do work in the industry. There is no question that QOS is attached to all prints of Hancock. When the trailer will premiere online I do not know. Theaters tend to get the prints of the film one or two days before the film opens. That's about all I can add.

[Scamp]

Ry, I was only repeating what had been previously written re trailer attached to premiere showings and hoped that someone would clarify the situation, as you did. It just seemed a little strange that Hancock is being premiered all over the world but no sight of the trailer appears to have been seen so far, but now you have clarified that we are back to will they/won't they/when will they treading water situation we have been for the past couple of weeks. Oh joy! But at least we now know that it probably won't be seen BEFORE Hancock goes on general release in the US, unless it is leaked.

[Ace Roberts]

One encouraging note - the early tracking numbers for Hancock place it out of this world - (pun intended) - with a $140-$150M opening holiday weekend. This will surely place the QoS trailer in front of a lot of eyes come July 1st.

Wow. That's more than I'd ever have expected for HANCOCK (which is poised to be a disaster as far as reception and word-of-mouth is concerned). But it does mean good things for awareness regarding QUANTUM OF SOLACE.

The discussion in here is getting borderline hilarious/sad. I think some of us need to go out and get some fresh air for a while, eh?

Good for Bond...bad for...er, anyone who plans to stay to see the film. Here's a review of Hancock, with many spoilers. I had to do a double take reading about some of the things that happen in this film :

How does this tracking work, by the way? Do they poll people who have seen it and estimate grosses from there?

No, they do random surveys and ask people, Have you heard of this movie, How interested in seeing this movie are you on a scale of 1-10, is it your first choice of movie to see in the next few weeks, etc. I have no idea how they interpret that kind of info into how much it'll make on opening weekend, but that's pretty much all it is.

Ooooh now I get it Stamper! You're you promoting immigration to France, aren't you?

[Marketto007]

So, Pierce - Daniel, you thinkg we should be getting the trailer tomorrow?
