For the first time ever, the same film leads both of our two main metrics this week, in our weekly Thursday feature Trailer Impact.
(During one week in late November, Aquaman led our “interest” metric and tied for the lead in our “recall” metric, but this is the first time one film has held the undisputed lead for both.)
