For the third time ever, the same film leads both of our two main metrics this week, in our weekly Thursday feature Trailer Impact. The first time that happened? Two weeks ago. The second time that happened? Last week.
During one week in late November, Aquaman led our “interest” metric and tied for the lead in our “recall” metric, but Avengers: Endgame is the first time one film has held the undisputed lead for both.
Note: we have not yet begun tracking this week’s new trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, though that will surely make a huge splash on our charts once we do.
