That's the thing though. If there was something planned their for SDCC, I don't think they could have booked that space at that time. This year, other than Impractical Jokers and that Watchman thing, there wasn't anything at Petco Park that I can remember. Both of those things could have easily been done anywhere else. In fact, there were two Watchman activations. The other one was done in a small parking lot. Petco Park this year was empty during comic-con. The fact that they booked this concert during the next comic-con, says to me that it was going to be empty next year too. This doesn't portend well for the number of offsites there will be next year.
I wonder how they are going to handle the parking for this event since most of Petco parking is taken up by either offsites or SDCC parking?I guess everyone could come in via trolley, but is that realistic given the numbers?
Have you thought that maybe I dont know, this will be like the real 50 years celebration and this is the beginning of an awesome number of offsites/activities? I read somewhere that last year was actually convention number 50, not the 50th year or something like that
Do Netflix, Amazon, the networks, and the studios even know what properties they are even going to promote next year to even start thinking about an offsite and start making plans for activations?
They should. Making a movie or a TV show is not a spur of a moment decision. Many properties are in production for years before they start filming. Then it's about another year before it's ready to show. Sometimes even more than a year. So they should already know what they want to promote next year. Also making an offsite takes time too. I would think anyone that is planning for an offsite next year already has it well under way and they would have booked the space for it already.
The offsites are typically used for new shows. The streaming companies may know what they have to promote given that they funded the thing the,selves but they first have to see if it’s even worth promoting. Same with the movies. Why spend million dollars on an offsite if you know the movie is a dud?The traditional media companies don’t even know what new series they’ll invest in until spring. I remember so many promising pilots (Locke and Key is one). that suddenly weren’t picked up in April
