New footage from Jurassic World will debut during the Super Bowl

By Rick Marshall Published January 5, 2015

It’s no secret that a significant portion of people watching the Super Bowl each year are tuning in to see the commercials — particularly the movie trailers that debut during the biggest football game of the year. With NBC broadcasting this year’s game, it makes sense that one of the first films to be confirmed for a new trailer premiering during the game is Universal Pictures’ Jurassic World, produced by NBC-Universal’s primary movie-making studio.

In a segment detailing some of the companies debuting new commercials during the big game, Good Morning America confirmed that a new Jurassic World trailer will premiere during Super Bowl XLIX, which is scheduled to kick off February 1. Thus far, Jurassic World is the only confirmed film with a spot in the Super Bowl ad roster.

Scary Movie 6 returned after more than a decade, and the gamble paid off at the box office. The sixth installment debuted to $55 million domestically, the best opening weekend in the series' history, and went on to gross over $215 million worldwide as of late June.

Ahead of the movie's June 5 theatrical release, Wayans Bros. Entertainment launched a website called Subservient Ghostface, where you type a command and watch the masked killer carry it out on screen. It's a clever campaign that borrows directly from Burger King's famous Subservient Chicken stunt from 2004, swapping the chicken suit for the horror icon Ghostface from Scream.

Comcast’s breakup is the bluntest warning yet that the cable bundle is losing its grip

Peacock and Xfinity customers should see stability now as NBCUniversal's split rewires the logic behind future streaming perks.

Comcast's breakup sounds like an alarm bell for Peacock, Xfinity, and the monthly internet bill. At the service level, the answer is calmer. Current customers shouldn't expect subscriptions, billing, or broadband plans to change while the company works through the split.

NBC News reports that Comcast plans to spin NBCUniversal and Sky into a separate public company, moving Peacock, Universal, NBC, Telemundo, Bravo, theme parks, and Sky away from the broadband and wireless business. The separation is expected to take about a year.
