Super 8 opening one day early in Twitter promo


In order to create an online buzz "Super 8" will come out in movie theaters one day ahead of scheduled date. It is an art of a promotional campaign targeted at Twitter users. Users can click on the link to buy movie tickets online, and get free popcorn.






The promotion marks the first time Twitter has hosted a sneak preview. "Super 8" could do with a promotional boost although early comments have been favorable. But with no big stars and a trailer that does not show the sci-fi alien creature around whom the film revolves, the buzz for the picture has hardly been deafening.  This is a new technique for creating curiosity among the audiences.


The sci-fi mystery will open in about 300 theaters across the United States and Canada. The studio hopes it will earn $25 million to $30 million during its first three days of release across the United States and Canada.
