Why are Movie Trailers Called ‘Movie Trailers’?<br />

The first movie trailer was made in 1912 by Broadway producer Nils<br />

Granlund. He decided to show cut up clips from a movie, but after the movie<br />

had happened. As time went on, the movie trailers became more popular. At<br />

first, the trailers were made by the theater companies, but then movie studios<br />

began making them themselves. The trailers were always shown after the movie,<br />

but in the late 1930s, theaters began showing them before. They were called<br />

movie trailers because they were originally shown as trailers, after the movie.<br />

When they started showing movie trailers before the movie, the name had<br />

stuck, so they didn’t change it. Since the 1930s, they have been called movie<br />

trailers.<br />
