I saw a lot of ads fot it, including in theatres. Also marketing goes beyond ads. The trailers cost money, the press tour/junkets, etc.

I won't pretend to know all the ins and outs, which is why I deferred to Matt Damon and Ben Affleck who have been in that business for a long time.

    Nobody went to see the movie. So, again, where was the marketing on this one?

    The marketing existed, but the trailers didn't do much past showcase Tom Cruise being zany, and the plot did not seem very appealing. My guess is that, just like The Bride, they made an art house movie witha very niche audience, for way too much money. The budget for both movies should have been miniscule.
