I made an offhand joke a couple days ago about all of the big summer release trailers being dropped online and presumably into theater this week. I'm taking my daughter to see Oz: The Great and Powerful tonight and I'm curious to see which trailers are attached to PG-rated Disney family adventure. Obviously The Hangover part III is probably not going to make an appearance. But what about the more mainstream PG-13 entertainments like Iron Man 3 or After Earth? So will the first 15-20 minutes or so of my daughter's moviegoing experience consist of a series of trailers for big summer releases that she can't see? Will I have to explain that "No, sweetie, *this* Iron Man movie is for adults." I've had to do that before, like when when she spotted the DVD of Snow White and the Huntsman at Best Buy, and I always feel like an idiot when doing so. The other thought that comes to mind is a 12 year old news story, one which I gave little thought to at the time.
Does the 'one tentpole fits all' mentality, which began in 2001 with The Mummy Returns among other films, extend to trailers as well? We'll see, to the extent that it matters...
