Mysterious Guns N? Roses Teaser Hits Movie Screens Nationwide (link in 1st post)

[pilferk]

By the by, in relation to my last post:

I'd totally go see "Welcome to the Jungle: The Life and Times of Guns n Roses" at the theater.

[COMAMOTIVE]

Very curious how they would make this type of announcement ...

I can't envision them standing up on a podium answering questions on how this all came about ha.

Nah, I doubt we get a full blown presser quite yet.  Maybe eventually.

Probably a joint press release, with some quotes in it from the principal players.  And maybe, at roughly the same time (or following, closely), some press releases from any festivals they're booked at.

Whoever came up with this marketing strategy really earned their paycheck on this one.

Will be so interested to hear how it all came about at some point
My gut has always told me that the 3 of them got in a room and came up with things that absolutely cannot happen if they do this and then came up with some clever ways to test the water on it

Obviously the rock world has let them know how much it means to have them on-stage or even working together again

So f*cking cool

hmmm maybe its been asked before, but in what way does that teaser suggest a reunion?

Its suggests something is going on with GNR, but I didnt see a top hat in there.

If there hadn't been 4 months or so of speculation about a reunion, it'd be a valid point

Somehow don't see a teaser before the largest movie opening ever, being done to let the world know that Axl is back on tour with 2 new guitarists that nobody ever heard.

Don't think an official source has spelled out anything yet, But GNR sure is getting some great publicity and worldwide attention.

Exactly. It certainly seems that there are far too many small coincidences thst all tip the scales toward something big, ie. A reunion. That, or it's one of the greatest practical jokes of all time.

Then again, I've learned over the years that anything can and will happen with this band. So I'm trying not to get too excited. It's getting tougher every day though.

[Malcolm]

this is too cool

[SV4GNR]

Were like a bunch of giddy teen age girls waiting for a Back Street Concert LOL. Glad something is happening hopefully we find out exactly what very soon. If it is a reunion with Slash and Duff I hope I can afford a ticket. I sat for hours wrapping change so I could get a ticket to the Fillmore in Silver Spring

Good point. I just hope new songs are coming.

Amen brother

Anyone been able to figure out which advertising company who made the cinema teaser? Sometimes you can find out more info about their projects on their websites. If the teaser is part of a campaign, we might be able to find posters, radio spots etc.

I've been looking at some they've used before, but nothing. It seems they often use a different company for each campaign.

Not even a little bit.

And where is that track record.  All of the sudden, on their own, TB became shrewd marketers?  For CD II??

Seems...unlikely.

If the teaser trailer and website "update" are for anything but the long rumored reunion, it will literally be the biggest, not to mention most expensive, troll of all time.

Obviously, it's not, and the reunion is real and the official announcement is coming.

Yeah, buying ad time before 'Star Wars' ain't exactly like buying ad time during old re-runs of 'Mama's Family'.

That shit cost.

I'm no expert on this, but have been looking a little bit.

Ad time at movie theaters aren't that expensive actually. Some places you pay according to the number of visitors, and other places there's a flat rate per week per screen. I've seen $250 mentioned some places for the latter example.

I don't know how many screens they've been displaying, but let's say 1000. That could be $250,000 for the week.

In comparison that's less than what you pay for one 30 sec tv spot during prime time tv.

Thanks! I've already checked out NCM though, they are the company who shows the commercials at the movies.

I was thinking of digging up who produced the commercial. I think that would be a third party.

I thnk you are talking about the block ads that run before the lights dim? The ones available for local use, that run among the trivia games and concessions ads? Thats the right price point for those.

The gnr spot wasn't that. It was part of the previews reel.  Those are national buys, as they accompany a particular movie, along with the rest of its preview package. For example, star trek was bundled with star wars in the first week.

Those buys typicall cost mega bucks (often a million plus), depending on the movie they are tied to. Anything tied to star wars is pretty much at the top of the price point, too.

Edit: this wasn't a full trailer...it was teaser length, so that might bring costs down a bit.

Also ncm has 1350 theaters. Assume about 1500 screens for star wars, minimum, in those chains.
