B5 Obsessed (and others):
Advertising in movie theatres (AKA the Rangers trailer) requires the advertiser to get the film to the distributor 4 to 6 weeks prior to the date it will be shown.
It's nice for you to want to give SciFi suggestions for the content of the trailer, but if it was needed for a December 19th movie, the trailer was completed and shipped out a few weeks ago.
(I checked with a buyer from an ad agency on the lead time)

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

"Draal gave Zathras list of things not to say.
This was one. No.... *tsk tsk*
No. Not good.
Not supposed to mention... "one", or... THE one.
Hmmmm.
You never heard that."

It Seems obvious to me from the immense support that SCIFI is giving Rangers that they fully intend to make it a series but the only reason they won't say so officialy is that they want to prepare for the contingency that the movie might completely flop. (I sure hope not)
It's really great to see SCIFI's tremendous support, especially compared to the way TNT treated Crusade.

Yeah, Dark Horizons just posted today about the only-in-10-biggest-markets thing. (Woohoo, B5LR got a major headline on Dark Horizons! 
Anyway, does anybody know exactly *what* those 10 markets are? :~
Thx,

Channe,
There's a Hicksville in Long Island that is firmly part of the New York Designated Market Area. Not too far from the city.
(I'm pretty sure, you didn't mean the real Hicksville, did you?)

Forget Hicksville. What about Niceville?
Believe it or not, there really IS a town by that name.
Niceville, Florida.
It's in the western panhandle, near Pennsacola.

I knew there was a real Hicksville somewhere in NY, but I didn't know where.
Naw, I'm not actually in that Hicksville. I'm in New York State somewhere, definitely not in the market area, and that's basically all I'm gonna say about that.

FYI:
The ranking of the top ten TV markets (according to Nielsen) are:
New York
Los Angeles
Chicago
Philadelphia
San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose
Boston (Manchester)
Dallas-Ft. Worth
Washington DC (Hagerstown)
Atlanta
Detroit
This is probably the list getting the trailer.
30% of the U.S. population lives in those markets. The rest of you are out of luck.

Come on, we here out in Hicksville watch television, too.
But this is all right for B5LR. I wasn't expecting national distribution - that would actually be inadvisable. 30% is really a lot of people when you look at America, and if a quarter of those decide to tune in Rangers on January 19th because of the trailer, that's gonna do good things for the ratings.
Now, Sci-Fi only has to KEEP the date in the heads of those who went to see the movie, and the movie will come out on top.

Huzzah, I live in the DC-Baltimore area and at the moment I'm on the Capital Beltway so I should be able to see the trailer.
Often times they count Baltimore-DC as one market which gives us a boost. It's no wonder why since one is only about a half an hour to forty five minute drive up I-95.
