Super Bowl Movie Trailers 2012

With the NFL playoffs in full swing, the 2012 Super Bowl is just right around the corner. At Comicbook.com, one of our favorite things about the Super Bowl is all the new movie trailers that get debuted during the big game. Especially exciting about this year’s Super Bowl is that 2012 is a year with a lot of potential for movie trailers of high interest to comic book fans.Even though NBC has announced that all the commercial space for the 2012 Super Bowl is sold out, there has been no official announcement on what movie studios bought air time. In regards to movie studio dollars, Adweek did quote a SVP of sales and marketing at NBC as saying the spend was “consistent with prior years, although they may be a little lighter.” Adweek also noted that “trailers for superhero movies tend to play well in the context of the Super Bowl.”However, this is in contrast to what The Los Angeles Times claims. According to The Los Angeles Times, they have talked to knowledgeable people to find out that Relativity Media, Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures and Walt Disney Pictures are the only studios buying Super Bowl air time. This is surprising news, because that would mean 20th Century Fox, Sony/Columbia Pictures and Warner Bros. would not be airing movie trailers, and those three studios have some very big 2012 movies to promote. If the LA Times is right, then that would leave most of the major superhero movies other than The Avengers out of the Super Bowl.Based on the LA Times’ knowledgeable people, then the following movies of interest to comic book fans will likely have commercials during the Super Bowl XLVI.
