Here for the trailers
Big week in Film, as we look ahead to hype season. First trailer drop of the week was the practically-perfect-in-every-way winter release, Mary Poppins Returns
Prompting a whole lot of traffic on this…
We’re not mad though. The Poppins buzz was immediately backed by first glimpse action from Captain Marvel, set for release next March
Looking good, everybody 👏
Commercial success
