Right. They booked Gosling to drive the social conversation, then kept the actual footage event-only so the release could stay gated. You don't fly a name that size to a fan expo unless the strategy is already 'tease what you won't post.' That's not exclusivity, that's using the room to monetize the FOMO.

    lol monetize the FOMO is perfect. They flew Gosling out so the timeline could fight about who saw what instead of whether the movie looks mid and yeah event-only footage sounds like strategy until you remember they're paying for hype they used to get by actually dropping a trailer people could share.

    'Used to get' doing a lot of work when the free share model only worked before every trailer got ripped and memed into dust by breakfast. You don't get to call it a downgrade when controlled scarcity is the only play left once viral stopped meaning people actually bought tickets.
