Stranger things have happened in the world of promotion

EDIT: I don't understand the downvotes. Is this Amber Heard/Blake Lively hate, conspiracy theory hate, or something else? How am I coming across, what are you hearing?

Surely after two+ elections and a number of "wag the dog"-like situations you can't think such manipulation is dismissable? The Blake Lively case is well-documentated.

I'm genuinely confused. This strategy seems like a great idea, and rhe perfect way to build an audience for a bad, disappointing movie. I wouldn't be surprised if the Barbinheimer phenomenon was manufactured. Neither movie is as exciting as they seemed at the time.
