We watch a lot of movie trailers here at ScreenCrave, and, as we inch closer to summer with its ever-increasing torrent of new films, we’re seeing more and more previews with each passing day. As we do so, we can’t help but notice some similarities, repetitions, and clichés among them. Here at Trailer Park, we’ll be offering a rundown of those clichés, where they come from, and which trailers share them. This week, we’ll be breaking down: The Thriller Movie Trailer.

The active-duty Seals that starred in Act of Valor took the weekend handily, while Hollywood was getting their nails done and hair right for their biggest night of self congratulation.

Success continues at the box office, this time with the pre-Valentine’s Day movie The Vow leading the way. The Rachel McAdams-Channing Tatum romance opened to a sizable $41.7 million, an amount none of us saw coming. The Vow was followed closely by the new action flick Safe House with $39.3 million. But The Vow and Safe House weren’t the only surprises this weekend – Journey 2: The Mysterious Island also brought in a fair amount of $27.6 million, beating out George Lucas‘ rerelease of Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace, which opened at No. 4 with $23 million. And finally, at No. 5 was Chronicle, which earned another $12.3 million, bringing its new total to an amazing $40.1 million.
