Ill never understand the trailer for a trailer thing. Like I can just wait for a full trailer. I don't need a preview for a preview of a film.
My guess: distribution breadth and advertising spread are based partly on how much interest the trailer gets. And the trailer gets more interest if people get teased for it.
“But,” you protest, “isn’t that what teasers are for?”
I would think so, but maybe cutting one of these is easier, and teasers rarely have info about release dates (aside from the actual film release year, usually).
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
