They must really want people to see it instead of Spiderman.
Considering that the big studios have all kinds of algorithms that predict performance (which admittedly are not always perfectly accurate), and that the film has been out for a couple of weeks, I really wonder if this kind of marketing is any good in getting a trickle of new ticket sales. I suspect that the marketing is bought and paid for ages ago and the networks are getting their ad commitment completed by dumping a bunch of ads. (/speculation)
