Not too many people watch movies in the cinema and watching TV is the "in thing." Why some people will watch movies in the cinema nowadays? Simply because they have no widescreen TV or because they want to be firsthand to watch it and yap the story to their next of kin and friends. Maybe they want to watch it with another fellow, with a close friend or supposedly it's a "date." How much is a movie fare now? Is it $15/ticket which is an hour wage of a worker? Then if the ticket is worth $15 the movie should be 3 hours long or the movie should boast extraordinary, spectacular extravaganza of everything you want to expect of a great movie that would need an award.
Nowadays, even younger generation clamor for the "shock value." They don't like watching movies or shows that they had seen before. Something new is what they are after. Brand new! Not rerun, not replays. You have to surprise them, perhaps shock them.
If there's a movie trailer that is shocking is the movie "Jordan Peele's US"
When it was screened on television and it was at night that shocked us. It was really creepy. I don't like looking at the TV screen because it was sensesurround. Our TV is so loud so the sound was terrifying. Then those faces...the actors played an incredible, believable worrisome facial expression of angst and very tensed acting that can give you the shock. Crazy! It was just a trailer and its frightening. That kind of movie will bring people who love horror movies to the cinema. I don't know if they can eat and nibble popcorn or sip their cup of pop.
