The 20 Most Popular Movie Trailers of 2014, According to YouTube

2015 is going to be a huge, huge year for movies, so it’s no surprise that 2014 saw the release of some pretty major trailers. Zefr, a YouTube data and marketing company, released a report charting the top 20 most popular trailers this year, and the number one spot is probably going to surprise you.

I won’t spoil it, but it’s not Avengers: Age of Ultron or Star Wars: The Force Awakens, although Star Wars‘ trailer in particular got some serioust raction considering it was the last one to be released out of all of the entries on the list.
