Why are there so many sweepstakes for FSD?


I don't remember being so many sweepstakes and/or contest for FSoG? Is it because there has been a lost of interest for FSD? There's also a lot of promotion that if you buy the album or buy a ticket, you get FSoG stuff like half off?

I think it's because of the lost interest. Maybe they know it's not good? I've never seen so much promotion.

Stars Wars, Harry Potter, Transformers and Jurassic Park didn't have this much promotion

reply

Because there are millions of hard core book fans...

Yeah and there were billions of Harry Potter fans, but the marketing wasn't as overcompensating as FSD is aiming for. The sweepstakes for other movies were average and general. Plus if there are million of hardcore fans, wouldn't have they sold out of tickets already? Wasn't that the big thing in 2015? That showings sold out so fast?

reply

They haven't sold out because the first movie was terrible. Why bother seeing the sequel? The whole movie is in the trailers. It did well the first few days but then dropped about 75% because it was bad. People realized what it was about: glamorizing abuse and the two leads had no chemistry.

See the original, 8 and a Half Weeks or Secretary

You are discounting the millions of book fans...and the two movies you mentioned?...not even close..this is a romantic fantasy...and they are in it to win it...and they do..

Hahaha, I see what you did there.

It's interesting but I'm hearing a lot more positive reviews about The Batman Lego Movie and John Wick 2. I think they're going to do really well at the box office.

Loved in the Lego Movie when Batman doesn't know who Bruce Wayne is 😂😂😂, that movie was a lot of fun
