00:03 Move over, Nicole Kidman.
00:21 A new fighter has entered the ring.
00:23 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:26 A Cinepolis ad has the internet abuzz
00:35 for its seductive promo.
00:37 One ex-user writing, "They looked
00:38 like they just saw her across the theater concessions
00:41 and loved her vibe."
00:42 Yes.
00:42 Reversive marketing.
00:44 Yeah, we saw that.
00:45 We're talking about it.
00:46 That's all that matters.
00:47 But can the cast of Dune Part 2 truly dethrone
00:50 the goat of theater chain ads?
00:52 We come to this place for magic.
00:56 Since its debut in 2021, fans have
00:58 cheered, saluted, recited, and parodied
01:01 the iconic lines of Nicole Kidman's AMC pre-show intro.
01:05 Heartbreak feels good in a place like this.
01:07 Heartbreak feels good in a place like this.
01:09 Heartbreak feels good in a place like this.
01:12 Heartbreak feels good in a place like this.
01:14 With sound that I can feel.
01:17 Our heroes feel like the best part of us.
01:20 And our stories feel perfect.
01:24 And powerful.
01:26 We're really in a very special place with this.
01:30 But in March 2024, a different, shorter version
01:33 of the ad hit theaters.
01:34 Leaving loyalists heartbroken this line
01:37 didn't make the new cut.
01:39 Somehow, heartbreak feels good in a place like this.
01:43 Something is absolutely in the movie theater butter lately.
01:46 Dune 2 was paired with this, let's just say,
01:48 interesting collector's popcorn bucket
01:51 that even got the cast talking.
01:53 It's OK.
01:54 If I see a bunch of people in the theater with one
01:56 of those fricking buckets in their hand,
01:58 I'm going to be like, OK, you're an idiot.
02:00 Did nobody realize--
02:02 and I think they all realized and said, yeah,
02:05 this is going to create a stir.
02:06 Everybody's going to want one.
02:07 Just from a purely eating popcorn standpoint,
02:13 you can't get anything out of it.
02:15 It pulls the popcorn out of your hand.
02:17 Like one kernel at a time.
02:20 Before you get it out.
02:21 You go in, you get a handful, and then by the time
02:23 you get it out, there ain't nothing in your hand.
02:25 I'm not going to stick my hand in there.
02:26 Unless I'm getting a milk dud out of it, forget it.
02:28 I would be really curious to know
02:31 what the discussion was around that.
02:34 Because somebody might be mortally
02:36 offended right now about the reaction to this.
02:38 Or someone's going, this is exactly how I planned it.
02:41 I was kind of like you.
02:42 I was like, wow, this is so clever.
02:44 Because people are rightfully so suspicious
02:47 of viral marketing stunts, whatever, in movies.
02:51 So this just seems spot on.
02:54 I don't know.
02:55 That's magic.
02:57 (dramatic music)
02:59 you
