Tuesday, December 29, 2009 at 4:22AM Yahoo! Presents the Most Viewed Trailers of 2009
I'd say nine of the movies on this list won't surprise you one iota, but that tenth one will knock you for a loop twice. It's the most viewed trailers of 2009, as unveiled and presumably counted by Yahoo! You've got your Transformers, your Harry Potter, and your New Moon, but...what the hell is Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus?

It comes to us from Asylum, makers of such films as The Da Vinci Treasure and Transmorphers. And who could forget Snakes on a Train? But this is something a little bit different, and wait 'till you see the stars of Mega Shark. Fantastic casting! If you're wondering how you missed it, Asylum generally releases straight to video, but Mega Shark played in one theater in the UK, scraping together £433 in August. So I guess that means the trailer was ineffective.
We've got the entire top ten here to refresh your memory, but please watch number eight. I don't know if you'll be laughing with it or at it, but you'll be laughing.

2 - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
3 - 2012
4 - Terminator Salvation
5 - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
