We’re happy to see some positive anticipation!
You only get one chance to make a first impression, or so the story goes. It’s especially true of film trailers, especially for highly-anticipated films. A good reception for a trailer can generate buzz that money can’t buy. A poor reception can deal a fatal blow to a film.
