although it makes sense that if we see NS happen, that NH fans would still go see the movie to see the reasons why. NS fans, in the same situation (if NH happens) have absolutely no reason to go see the movie, because we'd know why. He's got a bad attitude, treats women horribly and is missing an arm.
Did you mean SS? Actually I don't think NH would go watch the movie, simply because they'd feel cheated, they would think that SP, SJ and Kishi deliberately duped them to get their hopes up knowing they would be crushed a week later.
It's why the trailer confuses me, they are playing a dangerous game either way, or maybe i'm over thinking it and the fandom is not as intense in Japan as it is everywhere else. Which could be the case.
Unless the purpose of the trailer is to get all the NH fans to buy this weeks manga, knowing NaruSaku fans have a stronger believe in their fandom happening, and will buy the manga regardless....but that does seem like a dangerous game to play as the movie costs allot more than the last issue of the manga.
Oh well we'll probably find out within the next 36 hours whats going to happen either way, and with it the marketing for the movie will reveal itself, or not if there isn't a timeskip and Kishi's words have just been misunderstood and he really was talking about showing Naruto with Kids at the end of the movie though the whole lost period mentioned in the trailer will not make sense.
Ahhhh!!!! this is probably why I never pursued a career in Marketing, these mind games you play can give you premature white hair.
