With all the 2012 blockbuster trailers coming out this past week, (if you haven’t yet seen the Prometheus trailer, what have you been waiting for?!) it’s not difficult to get excited about next year’s film slate but at DCM we’ve paused for a minute to reflect on the last twelve months.
There’s been some spectacular cinematic highlights over the past year (has it really been twelve months since The King’s Speech made waves at the UK box office?), so we asked DCM staff to name their top three films of the year. The results have been processed through an extremely complex spread-sheet and collated into an exhaustive list for your reading pleasure.
When you’ve remade a striking European hit thriller, itself an adaptation of one of the most popular novels of the new millennium and have already preceded it with arguably the best trailer of 2011, it’s fair to say there’s a bit of pressure and expectation. Last night at the world premiere for Stieg Larsson’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, David Fincher proved that he can more than handle it, delivering a taut and brilliant thriller that promises to be the start of a genuinely exciting franchise for adults.
Around 10 years ago, the movie industry cottoned on to using viral marketing to create buzz amongst cinemagoers.
Fake websites, videos, pictures, teaser snippets of information let loose in web space created instant chatter and pre-release buzz.
The awards season this year brought us quality films like Black Swan, 127 Hours and British drama, The King’s Speech. This created a huge stir and cleaned up at the awards winning 4 Oscars, 7 BAFTAS and 1 Golden Globe.
Next year the quality of film product just gets better allowing you to position your brand alongside the crème de la crème of upmarket film product reaching an upmarket 72%* ABC1 audience in Q1 2012.
This weekend DCM were lucky enough to attend Empire’s BIG SCREEN at London’s O2 arena.

Quarter 4 in 2012 looks set to be a period for huge releases drawing in massive amounts of cinemagoers.
Below we outline the releases that caught our eye as potential box office stars.
