End this war before it ever begins.
With six films released, the X-Men series is the 15th highest-grossing franchise, having grossed over $2 billion worldwide. X-Men: Days of Future Past is a dual sequel to both X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: First Class. It was one of the most anticipated films for Summer 2014, our campaign recognized that level of attention, both reinvigorating the current fans and earning new ones. Days of Future Past took in $128.2 million globally in its second weekend for a world total of over $500 million, eclipsing the $459.4 million grossed by X-Men: The Last Stand in May 2006.

The campaign kick off involved a Trask commercial, Trask site, a Sentinel head (mutant hunting robots) was displayed as well as propaganda posters.

The Bent Bullet / Trailer Release
To coincide with the official trailer release we launched another aspect of the film that would surely get people talking. With a photo journalistic broadcast approach, we utilized the full browser window and filled the experience with Ken Burns style photo animations, environmental audio as well as hired the voice of front line Will Lymon.
With no paid media, the launch garnered over one million views in its first day, reached YouTube’s list of most popular videos, made it to the front page of Reddit, and triggered a massive social debate over Magneto’s innocence.
