13 weeks to go and still no proper trailer. A little worrying.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is out two weeks beforehand and nothing else that would compete with it is out until the end of June so it has a good window. The budget is supposedly $230 million so it will need to do very well in the box office, better than Fury Road for Warner Bros to consider another Mad Max film. I really hope they get marketing soon and they aren't just writing it off because of their recent flops.

I hate to say it but I have a bad feeling about this.
Maybe Miller created his own T2 problem here...
Probably Warner currently is concentrating on marketing Dune 2 which btw earned rave reviews from critics. I expect getting a new Furiosa trailer in 2 weeks or so. Girl boss movies and female centric films are having a hard time right now. To be successful at the box office it has to live up to Fury Road which is almost an impossible task.
We need a trailer that 100% look without cartoonish CGI to turn the tide.
Test screening don't mean anything, because the audience is probably warned that the VFX are unfinished.
So they forgive the very thing that may kill the film.
I have a bad feeling the cartoonish CGI is part of the movie, as it was for 3000 years.
I'll be happy to eat my hat when a new, mind blowing trailer lands.
I saw the Furiosa trailer before DUNE on an Imax screen. It looks so much better on the big screen. The CGI is way less obvious and computerised looking. I'm guessing they prepared the trailer for a big screen at Comic-Con but never made a specific version for YouTube. Wrong format and frame rate can really mess up the look of a video once it foes through YouTube's converters.
So while I don't think it's a good trailer I do think we got a bad look at the CGI and it shouldn't be judged by it.

Just seen the Furiosa trailer on the big screen tonight and I fully agree. It looks 100 x better (may I add that I wasn't upset or offended by the online version, although it does look like a work in progress compared to the version in the pictures/cinema).
Otherwise, things are looking very positive for the film.
