Which begs me to ask, how is this one getting so much buzz?

It's honestly perfection in cutting a movie trailer. Might be the best Marvel Studios has done.

 

[Pattycakes]

I bet Episode 8 breaks this later this week.

 

[kunonabi]

How many views did homecoming do in its first day?

 

[ArgyleReptile]

That's good. Clearly people are excited for Thor 2: The Dark World 2: Ragnarok

I know I am

[chrisPjelly]

It's a really addicting trailer to watch, I'm not surprised

It doesn't have Jane duh.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I wonder how strong Thor is without his hammer. I remember in the first movie he was like a mortal without it, but maybe Odin just cast a spell that made him human. It must be the second otherwise Thor wouldn't jump headfirst into Hulk.

 

[AnathemicOne]

The title of the film is Thor: Ragnarok, not Thor 3: Ragnarok.

No, its Thor 3: Ragnarok: The Dark World 2

 

[ArtHands]

The total views count is pointless since it includes Facebook and Twitter autoplays.

Over 16M views on Youtube in a day is pretty big though.

Why do people keep saying this, when this applies to every other youtube movie trailers too?

 

[Zelenogorsk]

I hated Thor and Thor: The Dark World but this trailer for Ragnarok was great. It looks like Thor: Guardians of the Galaxy Edition. Which I'm down for.

 

[blame space]

Pretty sure we can directly attribute this to Jeff Goldblum.

 

[Haloid1177]

Last Jedi trailer will take the title back Friday.

 

[Daingurse]

Pretty sure we can directly attribute this to Jeff Goldblum.

The Goldblum factor must account for at-least 50% of the views.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Pretty sure we can directly attribute this to Jeff Goldblum.

 

[Einchy]

It was a wonderfully edited trailer.

 

[~Kinggi~]

thor the dark of age part 2 best in the world is gonna be off the hook marvel gonna be rich guys

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Anything counts as a "view" nowadays for the sake of having a headline

With Youtube you are typically choosing to watch the videos. On some social media platforms, they autoplay, and are counted as a view after 2-3 seconds.

When Paramount was claiming 100M views for XXX, the Youtube view count was something like 6M views. Even now, none of them are over 14M.

Well other than this Bollywood Timeline clip that has 77M views

But... how?

I wouldn't reach too much into that. 10MM of those are mine.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

it's great. but I wear we hear this with ever new major movie trailer. I guess more people than ever are using YT.

 

[Rhoc]

Deserving really good trailer and awesome music. I want to know how much they had to pay for the song use; I'm thinking millions.

 

[kswiston]

But... how?

I think that the channel tricks people into thinking some videos are softcore porn shots. Look at their list of most viewed videos (As NSFW as Youtube gets):

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLdAv9VCtradEMENl7JrroA/videos?sort=p&view=0&flow=grid

Of course the videos have none of that stuff in them. They are basically just EW style clips about Bollywood films.

 

[Wandering Robot]

Hopefully it's a precursor to the full movie's reception, if nothing else. Lemme go watch it again.

 

[Dai101]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

aah!

We come from the land of the ice and snow

From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.

 

[jon bones]

Feige said they needed this to do for Thor what The Winter Soldier did for Cap.

They're doing it.

 

[HStallion]

I can't wait for this to become the new Thor 2

I do understand this. What I am saying is, this (autoplay on social media) applies to trailers for other movies too isn't it? Thor: Ragnarok isn't the only movie trailer that is autoplaying on facebook and stuffs.

 

[Jobbs]

Awesome trailer. Only Marvel thing I've ever been excited for

 

[Garlador]

So weird I'm more excited for a Thor movie instead of Justice League, Wonder Woman, or even Spider-man.

 

[johnsmith]

...you think the horror film It will open to more than $150M?

Oh. No. I thought it was just a weird phone capitalizing error. Didn't think it was referring to "it"

 

[Khezu]

It really is a pretty fantastic trailer.

 

[Pakkidis]

One of the best super hero trailers I have seen since The Dark Knight.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I really liked Thor and Thor 2: The Dark World and I really think Thor 3: Ragnarok is looking pretty damn great.

 

[Fancy Clown]

It was a wonderfully edited trailer.

Really? Thought the editing was actually pretty poor. The content looked solid though.

 

[Discotheque]

it's great. but I wear we hear this with ever new major movie trailer. I guess more people than ever are using YT.

Yeah. IT holds the overall record right now and that was a couple weeks ago

I imagine we'll see a thread like this again this weekend when the last Jedi hits

 

[Disxo]

This.
Awesome trilogy.

 

[number11]

After hearing that IT is the most watched trailer of all time.. trailer records are kinda pointless to me.

 

[Zen Aku]

I dont think views translate exactly to BO

IT isn't going to open to $150+ domestic

RemindMeIn7Months!

 

[jett]

Every trailer is the most watched trailer ever these days.

 

[kswiston]

It definitely has ramped up. When IT has doubled the record set by The Force Awakens (which made over $900M domestic and $2B worldwide) in a span of two years, you know something is up. It's not like Star Wars fans aren't rabid consumers are Star Wars media.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

After hearing that IT is the most watched trailer of all time.. trailer records are kinda pointless to me.

Check the box office in September and you may change your tune.

edit: Just for the record, I am NOT implying it will outopen Star Wars, lol. But IT is gonna demolish the September opening record by a massive margin; bank on it.

Really? I heard legit excitement about that trailer.

 

[Zen Aku]

I never notice before that he lick his lips at the very end...

*Swoon*

$80M in September would be record breaking by a massive margin, despite us getting 8-10 openings in that range each year. The September record is still stuck at $48M.

IT will be huge for Horror and September, but not really all that special overall (despite the 200M "views" in 24 hours record).

 

[Slaythe]

It's honestly perfection in cutting a movie trailer. Might be the best Marvel Studios has done.

I even got me excited and I felt so meh towards the first two thor movies.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

glad it wasn't just me that noticed this.

I'm curious as to why marketing and PR teams think this is important to make a point of. does it drive further views? do those further views turn into ticket sales? I wonder what data they have, or if they're just doing it because others are doing it.

I actually am thinking $80M opening for it, unless the marketing falls on its face going forward.

And I think that would be special overall; it'd be the biggest horror opening of all time, let alone for an R rated horror film, and 4th among all R rated films. Perfectly befitting a film with the trailer view record.

 

[Spaced Harrier]

Yeah these view counts are bullshit.

But there's a good count on YT which is probably the most trusty metric.

Youtube only keeps track of Youtube, though.

People see the trailer in tons of different websites and across different channels even on the same site.
