They made a Thor 2 website so that the audience could access behind the scenes and any extra clips, photos or games that they could win tickets to the premier, ect.
They used youtube as a form to distribute and put their trailer on the site so that viewers could see what the trailer was like and tease them before watching the movie. A twitter page was created for "Thor 2 " as a form to also reach the audience and keep them updated with any news they managed to get about 22k followers which is quite good for a simple way to advertise the movie. this then allows the marketing of the movie to be easier which means that while launching the movie they can generate revenue from merchandise and similar products due to the tease and build up to the movie. 

Exhibition:

They allowed the audience to chose whether they wanted a sequel or not already that makes the audience feel important as what they say stands as a important decision for the director. by choosing youtube as the way for the audience to watch the trailer it is a really easy and simple way which is also good. by interacting with the audience and making them feel part of the production it builds a loyalty with the movie and can be very good for the potential revenue when the movie is released.

Marketing:

To market the film the creators have sold merchandise to the public, in order to promote the film. Some of the products include lego toys, action figures, Thor's helmet and hammer.
