The fact that Dredd flopped is seriously disheartening. That movie was fantastic.
I was actually interested in Cloud Atlas from the previews, but after reading a portion of the book, I have little to no desire to see that thing.
John Carter truly suffered from poor branding. The trailer was a mess, made to showcase only its special effects, rather than its actual plot. That said, Peter Gabriel brought it in that trailer. Nevertheless, plastering the Disney logo to open the trailer immediately discredited the film as anything other than a children's movie. JC was not a kids' movie. And if it was, it shouldn't have been. (I haven't seen it, tbh) Plus, I think they should have kept the original name of the book (A Princess of Mars), but maybe that's just me.
Sad to see.

Hell no. Disney is out of the Princess business. They are avoiding the term Princess and Queen in their movies - especially those primarily targeted at males - as much as possible.
They should have had better advertisements for one. The Peter Gabriel song wasn't exactly a match for the movie. If you are going to have a good action/adventure movie then plan your trailer music around that.
They also should have emphasized the fact that it was really the "Godfather" of all sci-fi stories. They sorta did that in the last week or so before it's release, but they should have done that sooner.
