Like high fashion shows and magazines, film trailers tend to run one season ahead, so that we are introduced to summer blockbusters as the snow flies and to Christmas cheer in the midst of the warm months.

A classic instance of the two-part trailer is that for The Hangover , which represents the blackout of the three groomsmen a little before the midpoint through a black screen and silence.
