STEP 2 — An Observation Game
A trailer is a very short summary of a film, made up of images chosen from the film itself. It rarely lasts more than two minutes.
Why does it exist? To make you want to buy a ticket. It's an advertisement: it shows the most spectacular scenes, but hides the ending and the surprises.
Watch this one like a real detective. You'll see that it contains lots of details that no one notices at first!
◄ Go watch the film's trailer. Watch it once, all the way through.
▼ Then answer these four observation questions. All the answers are in the video! ▼

STEP 3 — A Box Office Hit!
The box office is the ranking of films based on their grossing revenue.
In the past, the "box office" was the ticket booth where you bought your movie ticket.

A film that earns over a billion dollars enters a very exclusive club.
