Super Bowl Film Commercials - 2011 & 2012 Films

Over the past couple years I have been tracking Super Bowl Movie commercials and their resulting box office results to see how they fared. Last year saw a swell of film ads and this year, unless we're suprised, is a much more limited list.

Here's the link to the post from 2010 & 2011.

This year's films with Super Bowl ad treatment will include:

• The Avengers


• Battleship


• The Dictator


• John Carter


• G.I Joe 2: Retaliation


• The Hunger Games

Super Bowl Film commercials from last year are listed below - a quick look will indicated some successes and a number of failures - so perhaps that why we see fewer film commercials this year, after a swell from last year.

• Transformers: Dark of the Moon (#2 in US in 2011; $352 million domestic gross)


• Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (#5; $241 million)


• Thor (#10; $181 million)


• Captain America: The First Avenger (#12; $176 million)


• Kung Fu Panda 2 (#15; $165 million)


• Super 8 (#21; $127 million)


• Just Go with It (#27; $103 million)


• Cowboys and Aliens (#29; $100 million)


• Battle: Los Angeles (#37; $83 million)


• Limitless (#40; $79 million)


• Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (#47; $73 million)
