This month’s live-action remake of a Disney animated classic rises to first place, as April’s superhero sequel continues leading our other main metric this week, in our weekly Thursday feature Trailer Impact.
Top Three Trailers with Highest Recall Score Among Moviegoing Audiences
Moviegoers tell us the trailers they most recall seeing at their most recent visit to a cinema, among films opening in the next 10 weeks.
Dumbo / Disney / Friday, March 29
- 42.7% of moviegoers (244 respondents) saw and recalled this trailer this week.
- That’s a new peak, a huge increase of more than double from 20.6% last week and a prior 21.1% peak.
- That’s likely due in large part to the trailer playing before this past weekend’s blockbuster opening of Captain Marvel.
- Dumbo spends its first week at #1, after spending the past two weeks at a prior #2 peak.
- It also spends a 10th consecutive week in the recall metric’s top three.
- This live-action remake of the animated 1941 Disney classic centers on an elephant who can fly.
Spider-Man: Far From Home / Sony / Friday, July 5
- While Trailer Impact usually only measures films coming out in the next 10 weeks, we’d added Spider-Man: Far From Home to the survey after it posted the 8th-most global views online ever for a trailer within its first day.
- 26.8% of moviegoers (153 respondents) saw and recalled this trailer this week.
- That’s a new peak, a huge increase of more than double from 12.2% last week and a prior 13.6% peak.
- Similar to Dumbo as detailed above, that’s likely due in large part to the trailer playing before this past weekend’s Captain Marvel.
- Far From Home spends its first week in the recall metric’s top three, at #2, after previously peaking as high as #5.
- Tom Holland returns as the iconic superhero in a Europe-set story, along with a new character Mysterio played by Jake Gyllenhaal.
Avengers: Endgame / Disney / Friday, April 26
- 25.9% of moviegoers (148 respondents) saw and recalled this trailer this week.
- That’s a new peak, a big increase from 15.2% last week and a prior 15.7% peak.
- Similar to Dumbo and Far From Home as detailed above, that’s likely due in large part to the trailer playing before this past weekend’s Captain Marvel.
- Endgame spends its first week in the recall metric’s top three, at #3, after previously peaking at #4.
- This intended final installment of the blockbuster Avengers superhero franchise stars an ensemble cast including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, and Scarlett Johansson.
