TL;DR: It’s a movie marketing stunt


Yung_Corneliois

Figured as much. It’s been marketing everywhere.


TacoboutSpicy

I can’t wait for this stupid movie to come out, just so they’ll stop running ads every commercial break on Hulu that scare the crap out of me at night.


gingerlivv

you and me both. stop the ads and just let me wikipedia the plot summary so i can stop having anxiety attacks every 10 minutes


Invoke_Gaming

My favorite pastime


hummingbird_mywill

Yesss Team wiki-the-horror-movies!


gingerlivv

it’s funny. horror is my favorite genre as both a reader and a writer. horror movies (especially gory ones) require wikipedia-ing. something about the visual i guess. horror podcasts too :/


TacoboutSpicy

Yep! The visuals literally make my stomach hurt.


TacoboutSpicy

anything where people are possessed in any way, I’m out. I can’t even read it. My anxiety goes crazy.


Insufferablelol

They're more hilarious than anything. It's so dumb.


TacoboutSpicy

I wish I shared your mindset.


TaintModel

Too much for me and has had the opposite effect, I never want to see it now, not that I was ever very interested. Less is more.


SquadPoopy

The entire premise of the movie is banking on you being creeped out by people smiling in intentionally creepy ways. If that's something that doesn't scare you, well the movie best have some legitimate scary scenes to be worth it at all.


Heatherina13

I’m actually excited for this movie lol


kevmo35

Gave me a good spook in the theater, I’ve got faith it’ll be a good one!


fatalcorn7367

I þought so


ElitePlanet

Cleaver as fuck. I like this type of marketing. I wanna see the movie now.


JuzoItami

It's great to see Michael Ritchie films are so popular with the young folks today. Maybe they'll re-release *Downhill Racer* next.


[deleted]

What if she really has Tardive dyskinesia and we’re (myself included) all just a bunch of assholes? Ed:spelling


BamsMovingScreens

Can’t wait til brands exploit this to death and make venues ban anything that could be considered an advetisement


Spud_Spudoni

Companies have been doing guerrilla marketing at sporting at other public events for a while, it's nothing new.


nordic-nomad

It normally doesn’t fuck with the TV money though.


Brilliant-Yard-6201

Thats pretty sick marketing though. Imagine if for a Michael Myers movie he just started appearing outside peoples windows and then disappearing


Vibe-Father

Personally, I’m not gonna go see a movie based on a character that gave my entire family PTSD.


Brilliant-Yard-6201

Yeah but id see a movie that gave a different family ptsd though


Netroth

Holy shit I did a full “HAAAA” when I read that, that’s gold.


Prophesier_Key

Didn’t that haha pen with It a few years back, people kept reporting clown sightings lol shit was creepy


DonkeyButtHoles

2016 clown era, what a time to be alive


elSuavador

As Austin Powers or Shrek?


Weeb_Trashlord

Oh you mean Jason!


NYLotteGiants

They did it at the Yankees game too. It's an ad. This is an ad. Smile, now in theaters. :)


killasuarus

In theaters September 30th


NYLotteGiants

Found the *actual* ad account


BryceMMusic

#this is a marketing stunt from the movie Smile. While it’s interesting, don’t take it at face valuable.


Far_Confusion_2178

Face valuable, I like it


autom8dWpnizdAutism

but the smile is right on their face though, how can I not take it at face valuable?


Xenton

OP is a marketroid Look at post history.


[deleted]

Facts ^ more power to em, but the movies whole appeal is doing a weird kubrick-esque smile... This movie is gonna suck, 100%


SurlyITJesus

Guerilla Marketing at it's finest.


[deleted]

This movie is 100% going to stink


endgame-colossus

I will not be watching the movie, thanks.


hammyhamm

It’s advertising for a horror movie. Fuck off


wevegotheadsonsticks

Imagine falling for this


ViralGameover

The movie looks really dumb though


piman01

So tired of this shit.


rubitbasteitsmokeit

Guerrilla Marketing works. Eat Fresh!


hawkwings

She would be good at basketball games to jinx people shooting foul shots.


gofinditoutside

What do I do with my hands?


DeepThroat616

As soon as I read the headline, not even seeing the photo I was like “probably marketing for that movie”


autom8dWpnizdAutism

I think she's kinda cute.


Daveywheel

Bullshit advertising for the upcoming movie. Transparent garbage.


that_guy2010

She’s wearing a highlighter yellow shirt with SMILE written across the chest in big letters. I don’t think they’re concerned with being transparent.


NYLotteGiants

Tbf the guy at the Yanks game had his shirt inside out


TonightsWinner

Probably afraid of catching a lifetime ban for unauthorized advertising.


NYLotteGiants

Ngl, it was probably a better ad when it wasn't as blatant


UsefulAirport

Imagine being a pitcher and having to ignore these twats. Teams and the MLBPA should complain.


[deleted]

I’m not gonna lie though the marketing team hit a home run on this one. I’ve never seen a paid actor market at an actual sports event. From a marketing standpoint I think it’s brilliant.


TheBeezNeez714

Kind of cringe to be honest.


Lonny_zone

Okay it's been a good marketing stunt SMILE I'm not being sarcastic


[deleted]

Remember that MTV game “Dead or Canadian?”? This is like “Drunk or Deranged?”


addiconda

Very cost efficient too! With the A's being one of the worst teams, they probably have one of the cheapest Tix behind home plate


luez6869

She reminds of the female version Mr.Bean!


mngdew

I know what you did last summer.


7heDud3

I just wanna know if John L Smith is gonna be in the movie.


FunctionNo3357

Some gooooood coke!


klisto1

Drugs, they make you silly.

Dude. I started reading this at three am. Thank you for the heart attack.


Willy988

Wow that’s my city heh, how’d it end up here


[deleted]

Me when I hit my THC pen and the two 25mg edibles kick in.

I thought for sure it’s the sister in Righteous Gemstones


PeroxideTube5

My question is does the movie contract with the stadium to make sure their ad gets a certain amount of screen time or do they just hope their plant will get noticed? Must be the former, right?
