Why Do Trailers Show the Whole Movie

Do trailers spoil the movie?

Movie trailers are known to mislead, but sometimes they go in the opposite direction, giving away key plot points and twists (and sometimes what would have been a twist ending). Of course, some of this depends on your definition of “Spoiler”.

What is the point of a movie trailer?

Trailers consist of a series of selected shots from the film being advertised. Since the purpose of the trailer is to attract an audience to the film, these excerpts are usually drawn from the most exciting, funny, or otherwise noteworthy parts of the film but in abbreviated form and usually without producing spoilers.
