DC’s ‘Dark Knight Rises’ Trailer To Pair With Marvel’s ‘Avengers’ Release: Confirmed

Attention, fanboys! Once again the earth is about to spin off its axis when comic worlds collide. I’ve confirmed that Warner Bros/DC Comics’ The Dark Knight Rises will debut its 3rd trailer when Marvel’s The Avengers opens on May 4th. “Yes, our 3rd trailer will be out with The Avengers,” a Warner Bros exec just told me. “We see this placement as a good strategic decision. We always want our trailers to be seen with films that people want to see — and a lot of people will be going to The Avengers!” The pairing was first teased by the Warner Bros Exhibitor website, and spotted by NolanFans.com. Both 2D and 3D conventional showings of The Avengers (as well as 2D and 3D IMAX showings) will be playing the Tdkr trailer. This isn’t the first time Warner Bros has placed a big DC Comics trailer in front of a Marvel movie.

The Devil Inside

http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/the-devil-inside/tv-spot-audience-reactions

I saw this advert on the TV which I believe is similar to the advertising campaign for paranormal activity, which showed Audiences reactions at a advanced screening.This would suggest that advert like this are becoming popular for horror films advertising campaigns,I believe this is because it sells the experience well making horror fans want to go and see it.
