Except, it's the oposite of marketing.
These shows are getting cheaper every episode.
Star wars can no longer afford to make movies, and they even gad to resurrect clone wars for the 3rd time, since the audience is dropping that fast.
My sis is a huge LOTR fan, and she knew rings of power will be shit.
They tried this strategy, because Twitter bots will eat shit, but they had one attempt to switch their current audience for the new one, and after ~7 years, the old audience is dead, and the new one still ain't coming.
It is a slow process though, and old fans had decades of good faith saved up, so it looed for a moment, like it was working.
3 trilogy star wars movies were both the least objective datapoints possible, and also all the proof Hollywood idiots needed.

No, the nostalgia is working. And they are killing it fast.
Tell me, where you saw it working, where a shitton of nostalgia and good will reservoir is not a suitable explanation.
i would wager that the movie probably would have underperformed even more had the filmmakers not bothered to claim that "the nazis are mad at our movie." shitlibs flocked to support the film like the good goy npcs they are.

You're a nigger

Does your mother still have to feed you with that kind of an IQ?
@flux @LouisConde
because I asked you for a movie with 2 variables (successful through "don't watch it marketing", low legacy fan investment), and you chose a 22nd movie in a franchise an your example, that will have the 2nd variable (fan investment) low.
So, you chose an example so bad, I cannot take you seriously. Ever actually.
@flux @LouisConde
Also, it was the FIRST movie in MCU that used that strategy. It was literally the breaking point of a 21 movies long chain of good fucking will.
I lack the words to describe just how retarded of an example it is.
no one went to see captain marvel because they love marvel or they loved the character, they went because they wanted to "own" the nazis.
literally the entire marketing strategy was based off of the ghosbusters 2016 model:
1. make low effort movie with wahmen
2. run to twitter and tell your followers that nazis/incels are mad about it
3. tweets go viral
4. people who weren't even interested in the first place pay money to see the film to "own" the nazis
nostalgia and goodwill doesn't factor into this
