"Warner Bros. Discovery hosted a livestreamed event on the official Dune account on TikTok. It featured director Dennis Villeneuve and some of the cast talking about the upcoming movie to a live audience before airing the trailer, which was simultaneously revealed at the end of the stream before being rolled out on other platforms like Instagram and YouTube."
"Videos with the star-studded cast-including Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Javier Bardem-urging fans to watch the trailer circulated online, and were later shared from the Warner Bros. Discovery and IMAX social accounts."
"Tom Holland announced on Instagram that he and the studio were "doing something that has never been done before" and that "some of our greatest fans are going to help us release pieces of" the trailer."
Two major Hollywood studios released trailers for highly anticipated films using unconventional marketing approaches. Warner Bros. Discovery premiered the Dune: Part Three trailer through a TikTok livestream featuring director Dennis Villeneuve and cast members discussing the film before the trailer's release, with subsequent promotional videos from stars circulating across social media platforms. Marvel Studios took a different approach for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, with Tom Holland announcing an unprecedented strategy involving fans in releasing trailer pieces before the official Wednesday debut. Both studios prioritized social media platforms and audience engagement, releasing short clips and promotional content ahead of full trailer releases to build anticipation and maximize reach across multiple channels.
