We should all know by now that a decent trailer doesnt mean the film is any good. However some extreme results are happening right now.
Suicide Squad. People loves the trailers,but the film has bombed badly. Good initial sales but then the first reviews kicked in and it hasn't done so good.
Ghostbusters. Femme edition. People trounced the trailers, yet on release the film is noted as above average. Not a great movie but not the turkey everyone was expecting.
What value are trailer reviews nowadays?

http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2016/08/21/suicide-squad-wins-third-straight-weekend-at-box-office-as-ben-hur-stumbles/
“Suicide Squad” brought in $20.7 million at the U.S. box office this weekend, making it the top earner in theaters for the third straight week, while MGM/Paramount’s $100 million “Ben-Hur” remake netted just $11.4 million in its first weekend of release.
The haul gives the Will Smith- and Margot Robbie-starring DC Comics vehicle $262.3 million in stateside gross, according to Variety, with Warner Bros Distribution Executive Vice President Jeff Goldstein telling the trade, “We’re well on our way to $300 million domestically,” and saying the film — which was met with mixed reviews and saw a significant drop-off between its first two weeks — is “in great shape.” Deadline reports that the film has brought in 17% more than fellow August release “Guardians of the Galaxy” had brought in at the same point.
sure they'd be happier with more money however.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

This is not new issue; a good trailer does not mean a good movie and vice-versa.

Seems relevant?
'Iron Man' Trailer To Be Made Into Feature Film:
Fans are worried that the feature film adaptation of the beloved trailer won't live up to the original 90-second story's vision.

Very true, even more so when it comes to Hollywood films. Whom for the most part are mindless but looks nice in trailer. But leaves your mind hurting after watching said films

Trailers not accurately reflecting the films are an old thing (usually the trailer is better than the movie as they cherry pick the best bits)
but we do seem to be getting more and more trailers where at least some of the material isn't even in the film (or only shows up in a later directors/special edition version) which is worse

But on the over hand, trailers that basically sum up the plot of the film are even worse.

Let's hope it never reaches the point of comic book covers and the actual comic inside.
