Besides getting some great first reviews by fans, it doesn’t hurt that the film’s cast and crew are social media rock stars to help further market and promote the film. Chu has over 410,000 Twitter followers and has been retweeting shout outs about the trailer. Tatum is very active online with over 677,000 followers. The Rock definitely wins though, with over 1 million followers and a whopping 4.5 million likes on his Facebook fan page.
