As big budget blockbusters continue to dominate the box office, a film's release is becoming more and more of an event. Gone are the days where you could purchase a movie ticket on (and for) opening day, replaced by advance screenings and pre-ordered tickets. How exactly do these movies manage to garner such attention before they even hit theaters?

Batman and Joker are two of DC's most profitable characters. The former gets a new movie every couple years, and the latter can stir up controversy with eight minutes of screen time.
