*The Variety/Visible Measures Weekly Top Ten Online Film Trailers Chart focuses on promotional campaigns for films within ten (10) weeks of official release. These campaigns consist of all film-related Internet video assets, from studio-produced trailers and cast interviews to user-generated video reviews and mash-ups. Online film trailers are measured using Visible Measures' True Reach™ methodology, which includes viewership of all "original" studio-syndicated content and viewer-driven social videos that appear on the major online video-sharing destinations. This data is collected and organized in Visible Measures' Viral Reach Database, a constantly-growing repository of data on more than 100 million videos from over 150 online video sites.

Note: View counts are incremental by week. This chart does not include Visible Measures' data on paid placements, ad units (overlay, pre-/mid-/post-roll, and otherwise), viewer engagement (rewind, completion, time spent, and so forth), or video views on private sites.

**Indicates percent change in views compared with the same period the week before.

To notify Visible Measures of an upcoming movie campaign, or for an end-to-end assessment of your film's overall online video performance, please contact Visible Measures directly.
