Don't assume too much from this. The movie has also seen the most minimal promotion due to the actor and writer strikes.

Yeah the idiots screaming it's too woke conveniently are forgetting this little tidbit.

They screamed about the first one and it made over a billion.

Who? Who is screaming that?

I'm sorry, but where has everyone been? I have seen countless ads for this movie for the past 2 months at least. Every. Single. YouTube ad has had one of the 2 ads be for this movie. Maybe that's the only place they've been promoting it?

For me, nothing on youtube and nothing in the streets. Only time I saw a billboard for the movie was on a trip to a different country, so perhaps it depends on where you live.

I use Ublock so I didn't see any on YouTube, though it's possible they focused there. I didn't see a single billboard/bus ad/bus stop ad anywhere about this movie.
