Bond and Disney Sequels Dominate Social Media

Last week marked a busy time of trailers and film news with Frozen II, Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil, and No Time To Die, all which managed to land in the top five of chatter generators across our tracked services, leading the pack.

Fresh off its massive performance thanks to a new trailer a couple weeks ago, Frozen II got a huge boost again last week due to releases of new music. With the huge success of songs such as “Let It Go” from the original, many fans are eagerly anticipating the soundtrack for its sequel, a fact shown in social media numbers.

In its last week on the charts before its theatrical release, Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil didn’t disappoint. The Disney sequel finished first or second on each chart and had the most posts of any film as its marketing campaign went into overdrive. 

No Time To Die has been doing well in recent months thanks to a slow drip of information. This past week, its first poster was enough of a draw that the Bond film had one of its best weeks to date. With its first trailer looming in the coming weeks, it’s poised for a dominant performance. The film’s official pages are also following the Star Wars model (or vice versa) of mixing nostalgic posts from past James Bond films with information about No Time To Die.
