Super Bowl [TRAILERS] The Big Game Proves Once Again, Movies Own the Biggest Night on TV

Super Bowl Sunday once again proved why it’s the biggest stage in entertainment marketing, as studios rolled out a wave of high-profile movie trailers during the game’s national broadcast from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, airing on FOX. For Hollywood, the Super Bowl isn’t just about eyeballs — it’s about impact. With more than 100 million viewers locked in, the Big Game remains the one night where a single trailer drop can dominate pop culture instantly, turning casual viewers into opening-weekend ticket buyers before the confetti even falls.


Two of the night’s smartest plays came from Minions and Monsters and Project Hail Mary's Final Trailer, both of which used their coveted 30-second TV spots not to tell the full story, but to tease just enough. Each ad acted as a hype trigger, intentionally pushing fans online to watch the full trailers moments later. It’s a strategy that has become increasingly common as studios blend traditional TV dominance with digital engagement, turning a single Super Bowl buy into a multi-platform marketing blitz that trends across social media within minutes.


The biggest surprise of the night, however, belonged to Netflix, which quietly detonated the internet with the unexpected debut of The Adventures of Cliff Booth, the long-rumored spinoff centered on Brad Pitt’s fan-favorite character from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The unannounced drop instantly became one of the most talked-about moments of the broadcast, proving that secrecy can still be a weapon in modern marketing. With Super Bowl ad slots reportedly costing around $7 million for just 30 seconds, the night reinforced why studios keep coming back: there is simply no bigger, louder, or faster way to launch a movie moment into the cultural bloodstream — and with more trailers still expected to surface, Hollywood’s Super Bowl takeover may not be done just yet.
