Fans of movies and the like definitely love when footage, videos, trailer and any other forms of spoilers are leaked for important projects, but clearly film studios hate it. In fact, since so much footage was leaked during and after the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con International events this week, which has led some to believe that studios could stop premiering exclusive content at such conventions. It's no surprise that studios want control over this content, but do you think that this is the best way to handle it? Read more on this news below.

According to an exclusive report from Deadline, studios could pull exclusive premieres from conventions due to that footage getting leaked online almost right away. Apparently, "studio insiders" are saying that fewer panels will take place in order to keep control of the premieres.
So far, we know that movies like Deadpool, X-Men: Apocalypse, Suicide Squad and plenty others saw their respective trailers leaked after the Comic-Con premieres, but we also know that projects like Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and more released footage online right after the panel premiere (via Gamma Squad).
In other words, some studios are already controlling their own content while others aren't following suit. Sure, holding off on online premieres is a way to build more hype, but clearly this other way works as well.
